MRC_Jacob Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Well, my first post on here, lets make it a interesting one! Here we have a unnamed EWS/FGW depot that was already in progress when I took on the project. I bought this layout in two parts, this depot (Which I'm focusing on) and a Clay Drys half. The layout was formally known as "Bugle Road TMD" and was based in Cornwall within the BR era. Now however it is a modern image depot with EWS and First Great Western making use of it. Still based in Cornwall it will house Class 66s, 60s and 37s off the clay and other workings with First Great Western 150 and 153 units being stabled there. Of course, I'm not limiting it to these locos and of course there will be some variety like the odd DRS 37 or Colas 56 (Of which you'll see in pics!)If anyone has any suggestions about the layout and what I can do with it please let me know and all comments are welcome! Thanks 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Bill At the moment it's an end to end with the plans of being used as a exhibition layout. It has down the rounds before in Cornwall with a previous owner being run under the BR era.

Maybe get some fuel pumps, offices, washer plant to increase the play value ? Usually they are stabled at Chapel Sidings (Siding next to the UP main) - may of been put in BZ years ago but GWR and DBS (Who own BZ) don't tend to work together or share space! (Apart from on my depot where anything goes! ) Yeah, I've got some free space to put stuff, fuel would be a good plan! Thanks! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite like the DRS livery, I have two DRS 37s with sound (one with newer lighting clusters) which will show up every now and then. Apart from that mostly EWS and FGW around these parts! Unfortunately all the large shows are too far away for me but who knows! Maybe one day. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

royaloak Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Re sharing the depot, Exeter TMD is regularly visited by the DRS operated test trains (fuel for the locos and coaches) and also occasionally a Colas 60 or 70 will put in an appearance for fuel, so it is prototypical. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
