Andrew P Posted November 28, 2017 Author Share Posted November 28, 2017 Andy, you are not alone. I've been fiddling about with the placement of the station buildings at Hintock Redux for several weeks now. And, as Kevin remarks it helps to get on with other things and come back afresh. But, finally I think i'm there. Photos in due course. Morning John, My Station building has been resting in the same place since about July, and yesterday I moved it, and it looked even more wrong this morning, I will see if my mates have any fresh ideas tomorrow night. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted November 28, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) Morning John, My Station building has been resting in the same place since about July, and yesterday I moved it, and it looked even more wrong this morning, I will see if my mates have any fresh ideas tomorrow night. Andy if you're thinking anbout moving the station building up in the world and above the railway go searching Tyseley and Acocks Green on the 'net and Google Maps - - there might be some helpful ideas there.

john flann Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Andy, one reason I got on with the Goods Shed at HRx was because I was "stuck" with the station building. I also as a distraction built a new house for the Stationmaster. However, I had another look this morning and seem to be getting there. I'll take some photos later and then see how it looks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted November 28, 2017 Author Share Posted November 28, 2017 Some new bits arrived this morning for Penybont Sidings, but there a little big at the moment. I'm looking forward to tomorrows running session, apparently with two Brake tenders turning up. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) Cheers Guys, NOW back to Trains and the running there of. Tonight's running session with John and Jeff was a great success, Peaks, Std 4, Brush Type 4 and Type 2, and even a scratch built Brake Tender. Maybe even some Video tomorrow.

Marcus 37 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Hey Hey!! I'm back. Layouts looking terrific Andy. You really have done a cracking job with this one. Nice to see my pub still found a place on the layout. The sidings in the rural location makes me think this is Oxfordshire's answer to Peak Forest. Very nicely done indeed. Great work mate.

Thanks Kevin, it did run well last night, as it usually does, and I enjoyed watching someone else's Locos running around. The Video should be up before Lunch, it's just up-loading on to You Tube.

KNP Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) Rather than a tripod this will allow you freedom of movement around TOPS. A steadicam is just the ticket There are loads on the market but I think this one will suffice.. Edited November 30, 2017 by KNP 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted November 30, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 30, 2017 Hi Andy I liked the Peak on the coal train. During the school holidays if I went trainspotting at Bedford there would be what seemed a constant stream of coal trains hauled by Peaks and a never ending northward return working of the empties. It will only be a few years and there will be adults who would never have seen a coal train let alone a pit. How times have changed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a Tripod, but with 3 Fat Blokes, and my O Gauge Penybont Sidings in the middle, there wasn't much room to move, plus I was cameraman and Signal Man at the same time. WILL TRY HARDER, hahhaha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
