If you had read your “Exhibitors manual” (it’s a long read, and may aid insomnia ) it clearly states that the use of kettles is band due to NEC hygiene regulations

Thanks Andy, and thanks to the team at Burton for making it an enjoyable day. Glenuig

Hi Jordan, couldn't go without saying what a smashing little layout this is, and thanks for bringing it along on Saturday, you were right about the photo location Gary

yep! great place for beer, and there are some trains there too

oh yes!

i have to say it, i am a out and out real ale drinker, but i could bost a pint of a good cold German beer right now!

looking at that black and white photo, you can imagine hearing the thing whistling away, and waiting for the driver to open her up to produce that awesome sound. As normal stunning Dave

As promised a few weeks ago, had a snapping session down in the dungeon, PS Pip Dun has pointed out that 27030 was boilerless at this time, best get the numbers out

Hi all Good to talk to you Paul. I have not posted on here for some time, not really any reason other than the lack of news concerning the layout. Its settled down into a routine now, Go to a show operate for a few days, put it away, get the layout out a week or two before the next one and go through the maintenance and snagging list. DEMU was show number 17, and its good to see that I am still getting good feedback on it, and a lot more shows to go. Running wise, Ok but the Sprat and winkles are still giving me grief, a good maintenance session is needed on these and a re think on the stock box to stop them getting knocked around in transit. New to the layout, is the SAU Mk3, (Seagull action unit) photos to follow, and to complement it, a full surround sound system to annoy the hell out of adjacent exhibitors,……sorry to add ambience to the scene. Thanks all for your interest, think its about time I sorted some new photos out, watch this space

50007 was in action again today, did a light engine run from WWH to Nuneaton and back, keep a look out tomorrow it might run again 0Z50 Gary

Absolutely cracking bit of modelling, and difficult to think that its N gauge. I can remember that little hut at the end of the fence. I was at the railway in 1995, during the ill fated visit of D212 Aureol, the loco had knackered battery

discuses in detail before http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/64360-time-to-put-demics-like-this-out-of-their-misery/

its been a long drawn out story, but the last group formed to have a go at saving it, folded after the owner decided to scrap it, then the railway stepped in when it as found to have asbestos contamination, and thats how it is now, i think 46009 stands a better chance of restoration.
