RMweb Gold Happy Hippo Posted January 2, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 2, 2017 I was enjoying it so much, Sounds like the session my friend Tony and I had this evening. We lost best part of an hour messing around with an Ixion Fowler and a Dapol 08 just pushing 4 x 16 ton minerals and a box van up and down 12 feet of track on the conservatory window sill. We feel that two shunting planks sharing a common fiddle yard might make for loads of fun. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium boxbrownie Posted January 3, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 3, 2017 Hi Paul, Thanks for posting the Video, yes that sounds different so that's what I'll go for when my Green 08 arrives. Really good sounds. I really like the alternate 08 project, but just two things that stand out in the clip.........those bloomin' awful "crooked" rods (the red makes them really noticeable) and I have never heard anyone so polite over the two way radio I really wish a lot of the 6-8 coupled Locos were geartrain driven rather than relying on "toy" rods, I believe the new DJ Loco is gear driven, might be interesting to see if it makes for smoother slow progress or at least a better looking side view.

David, The 'bent rods' thing I'll give you. But impolite language on two way radio. Surely not. You must be a bad influence. LOL These are from recordings I made of a real crew shunting a long train in Eastleigh yard. Very polite. Well, OK, edited for politeness.

Brian D Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Coming on a treat Andy. I'm off now to check on your BV thread. Stereo layouts! How do you do it? But as they say, a change is as good as a rest Regards, Brian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fret not Larry, I have the Black 08 and a Green one coming so they can Shunt Wooden Wagons, the Newer ones including the Kits I have to make of 16T Minerals and Grampus will go with the Blue 08, so that I can run 2 different periods, and there will be another Loco on its way soon. Bear in mind the Scenics will be none era specific with just Grass etc. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Focalplane Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 (edited) I suppose my long term plan for Legge Lane (2 road shed and turntable) will be to alternate between BR(M) and BR(W) locos and if I live long enough perhaps pre-Nationalization periods as well. The nice thing about a small Gauge O layout is you can do this and get away with it! Hopefully people are so focused on the locos and the sounds they make that scenery is literally the rather innocuous backcloth.

Tove Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 (edited) Things are looking good Andy, but you do seem to be playing with it a bit too much lately, (the layout that is! ) I was wondering,do you have any thought`s on the modern Heljan wagon`s you`ve now got?.Because i have had the later railfreight liveried (VAA) one here for a while now and apart from taking out the spring`s,(because it seem`ed to bounce everywhere) i still keep thinking it`s missing that something..... Cheer`s, Brian. Edited January 3, 2017 by Tove 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Paul, the plan was always to be able to swap around a bit, hence the Grass embankment along the back and just grassed over sidings. The only buildings will be the Crossing Box and a Building at the MOD Fuelling point. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheer`s, Brian. I have VAA and VDA in OO and once I've Weathered them they will blend in well with the Blue 08 and 16T Minerals, (more of that in a mo) and the earlier Planked with be well weathers and look very old.

RMweb Gold Alister_G Posted January 3, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 3, 2017 I wish you'd stop posting these pictures Andy, I'm trying to work out how to balance a 7mm layout on top of Grindleford, now... The difference in scale means that even in photos, the stock has a real presence to it, which you just don't get with 4mm. Lovely stuff, now stop it!

Andrew P Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 Talking of 16T Minerals, when I was doing ''O'' before, I had some I'd built for St Budoc, I then left 3 at the Club and sold the rest, but as there hardly used now I've brought the 3 back home so they will be running on here now. Pics on BSS later. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear in mind the Scenics will be none era specific with just Grass etc. Well folks Andy's mentioned GRASS in two posts now could that mean that the track plan is finalised Have to admit that you've gone into 'hypo drive' now I just can't keep up with these two layouts it's really scary the pace of progress........ slow down and take a breath Andy you going for some sort of record !!!!! On a serious note.........it's Bl--dy fantastic mate you put me to shame I'm still trying to wire that threeway point on Chumley End and you've nearly built TWO layouts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
