Indomitable026 Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 You could get one of those to transport the layout in, instead of that trailer of yours Nope. It's hideous. See a doctor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonB Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Just found this - it would look superb on the layout : lb_van.jpg Surely it could give an inspiration for Bratton coach livery ? And those windows should be incorporated into the observation coach. It's called freelance modelling.... you know it makes sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hope to have it up and running in around 5 years. That's great news. I wonder which will get finished first, the layout or the real extension towards Blackmoor... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indomitable026 Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 Just by way of a reminder of where this project has got to, this is the plan we are going forward with; I'm currently working on items for Black Country Blues but can't wait to get started on this, we haven't got very many shows this year so fingers crossed progress will be good... I've just been looking at the news updates on the real L&B; http://www.lynton-rail.co.uk/, this got me really fired up. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted April 2, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 2, 2016 Spot heights calculated from OS contour info and knowing the track through the station is 492' AOD. Quite a time consuming task and Damian also has a load of cross-sections to play with. It's going to make for interesting board construction! 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium DLT Posted April 22, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 22, 2016 Some excellent news in the latest Narrow Gauge & Industrial Review, an announcement from Slaters that they have acquired the 7mm scale Lynton & Barnstaple range of kits formerly sold by L&B Models. The range consisted of the Baldwin 2-4-2 "Lyn", all-third coaches 7 - 10 (with the open centre section), composites 5 & 6, and the 4-wheel wagons. These were high quality resin kits. Already under development is brake-third coach No.16, in injection-moulded plastic. I mention it here as so far, I cannot find any announcement on Slaters website. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew you would have to build something. When the BBC fiddle project was paused I told spams that in the same way a Gurkha has to draw blood if he un sheaths his knife, you have to make saw dust if you uncover that chop saw that looks very good Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
