RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted December 1, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 1, 2017 Just enjoyed this, and it's given me ideas. Am I the only one who gets the jitters when he says "..and it's given me ideas." ? :scared: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachmann Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 (edited) The video in post #1105 is not 1960. It was filmed at the end of the lines existence as evidenced by the lifted Down loop at Carrog. I would say late 1964. The second film was make somewhat earlier when the 43XX's were still working the line. Carrog was often switched out during the winter and all trains used the up platform.

I noticed the lifted track Larry, but thought that was done earlier. Cheers for the info. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted December 3, 2017 Author Share Posted December 3, 2017 I love how you can just pump out amazing looking layouts. It must be very fun, Andy. It certainly looks it! Thanks Daniel, I do enjoy doodling new ideas, I seem to a have a none stop flow of ideas that I want to produce, at the moment I have to try and get more done on Kings Moreton, then I have an idea for another small OO Layout as a cross between West Shed and Fiddlers Yard. Then there is a larger O Gauge that is in the planning stage but very dependant on room at the moment. Thanks for looking in and posting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted December 3, 2017 Author Share Posted December 3, 2017 I may have to lose the kick back siding, as if I do I can extend the Platform for a better look, and providing I have room to run around the B Set, I'm hoping to add a Milk Tank to the B Set if I can.
