      I've turned my ad blocker back on because of these ads. Even worse this morning an ad came up, I clicked the x then clicked the 'not interested' box. Despite that the same ad reappeared three more times.

  2. Each individual new post appears on the list instead of just the thread as it did before. I can't find the option to change it back to threads.

  3. Hi Phil.

     

    Just came across your name while trawling across the RM website regarding the viaduct layout built for what was then the British Railways Property. The layout was built by us at the Southwark Model Railway Club, consisting of 3 baseboards depicting a double track viaduct showing scenes in Victorian times, the 1960/70 and refurbished arches. The layout was built to fit into a trailer into which the public could walk around with two hidden loops at each end so that a train could go backwards and forwards. The trailer was usually accompanied by a person dressed up as a smiley railway arch known as "Andy Arches".

    The layout came back to us when Railtrack took over and found they didn't need it any more. We had to move to a new clubroom just over two years ago, so we ended up selling the layout to a family in Bexleyheath who plan to make it into a loft layout. We had started to build a fourth board incorporating a canal (loosely based on the Surrey canal at Deptford. I do have some photographs that I took of the layout over the years. I'll try and see if I can find them for you.

     

    All the best,

      Thanks for that information. I still have some of the BRB publicity material dating from the mid/late 80's that was distributed when the layout was on display.
