He's got chronic earache - can't lie down, let alone sleep. The Early Risers thread in Wheeltappers is full of helpful suggestions for him, as you might imagine.....

Indomitable026 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I think a fourth loop in the yard would be useful.... Yes I've track for another siding but that's not where I was thinking of sticking it.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted September 1, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 1, 2013 Morning all. Back from sunny Wales, visiting family. Did manage a ride on the Ffestiniog, and visits to the SVR at Bridgnorth (twice) plus Carrog & Llangollen stations, and some on-site photos of Conwy tubular bridge for Anthony Ashley, so not a complete waste of time. I see some kinky trackwork has been added, no sign of a signal box though. Good to see John F trying to add some sense to the thread, but doubt his good intentions will get very far. Photo of a 50 at Bridgnorth to be added later. Look-you, boyo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted September 1, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 1, 2013 Didn't see a hood on the 50 - is that a special feature ? No only took out a small mortgage so could only do the Porthmadog -BF section. There was a disel in the yard, but we were pulled by a 'Southern' loco... Did see a WHR Garrett though, crossing the bridge on to the Cob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indomitable026 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 The new point under test, 801 does the honours It ran fine, I'm particularly pleased how the 08 runs through the inner curved road and that's before I've installed the check rails. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted September 1, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted September 1, 2013 Maybe. Best, Pete. Sorry Pete, I had to give up trying to attach a photo to my earlier message whilst I was out and about today. All this fuss about 4G being rolled out in the UK, I wish they would sort out the 3G first. Anyway, this is what I was trying to send you earlier.... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
