Marcus 37 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Marcus, Andy loves operating, he spends hours shunting ... so by now he has exhausted all the combinations hence he is looking for his next challenge(s)! The thought of selling and planning something new has upped his mojo considerably in the last few weeks. Peter Hi PeterI was talking with Andy on the phone the other day and he was saying he wants something with proper operating potentional (play value) this time round. Cheers Marcus 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 Does this mean the layout has a new home? At this moment in time I can only say that it's looking that way, it's reserved until a viewing tomorrow.

Andrew P Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) Just to show how the Fully Folding Fiddle Yard works. Remove the End Board. Remove the Cottages. Showing the raised hinges. And gently ease over. And ready for the Car. Edited July 8, 2016 by Andrew P 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Bogie Posted July 8, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) Damn I thought you were going to keep folding until it ended up no bigger than an iPad.

Andrew P Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) Porth Merryn has now gone to its new home in the New Forest, I do hope the new owner enjoys playing with it as much as I enjoyed building it.

Andrew P Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 Did you ever get to show it Andy? Anyway that's good news for you on with the next then. Don Thanks Don, No, it was originally intended for our Clubs Open weekend next December, and then a couple of Shows booked for next year, so I'll have to come up with a replacement ready for next years Shows, I do have an idea in mind and a 6ft x 1ft plank again. I still have West Shed for our Club event and will run that as Midland / BR Steam with Sound. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy R Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 AndrewP: very nice end to another layout essay which I really enjoyed following. I like the small quayside concept that you explored ( as are one or two others on the forum. Look forward to what you contour up next. I am still basking in the experience of 5-6 hours operating Buckingham several weeks ago. It makes one think seriously on how to design a layout with real operational/ timetable scope to max future fun. Regards Andy R 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Andy, I see from this month's RM that Porth Merryn is scheduled to appear in the April edition - well done mate. That's quite a few layout articles now, well at least three I can think of. Best Regards, Brian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyram Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I have noticed the impending Railway Modeller article about Porth Merryn. That ensures I will be buying next month's edition. I also enjoyed Peter BB's article on the impressive Gresley club layout in this month's edition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) Hi Brian and Andy. Yes Porth Merryn is in next Month and Pencarne in the June edition as well. Ive had about 20 plus articles now including 4 on weathering and 2 on back scenes in all the regular mags over the last 9 years. Kingsmill was the first in Model Rail in 2008.The stock on the clubs layout is all mine. Edited February 27, 2017 by Andrew P 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Bogie Posted March 10, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 10, 2017 Well done on getting both layouts in the magazine and in the same year! Will you be signing copies? Now (at the risk of upsetting the OT Police) all you have to do is get an article in House & Garden magazine about your "window treatments". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyram Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Looking forward to reading the article after I have been to the shops tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
