RMweb Gold 5BarVT Posted January 23, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 23, 2020 Like the idea of the Shieldsman. Doesn’t even need to reverse at the Central either (Newcastle that is). Paul. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking forward to seeing some pics of your model. I have been busy with the London Layout which I am enjoying building. It is a real move away from the NE and the buildings need a bit of thought,. Cheers Ian B Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamAle Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Ian Looks like No.14 has had a hard shunt judging by one of the buffers! Think I'm finally getting to grips with Collingwood Yard Signal Box on North Shields. Chris has put a couple of new points in which means you could have three trains running through the throat at one time!!!! Philip Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianblenk Posted February 5, 2020 Author Share Posted February 5, 2020 Inward freight for T.D.E. Hold the front page; looks like exhibiting at Newcastle in Nov. and South Gallions the next week at Workington. Crazy boy. 10 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianblenk Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 Well, finally managing to play trains. It does seem rather sad offering and accepting on your own! Pics show; Stock on cassettes ready for the session The Snapper arrives to pick up fish traffic, I did wonder to have this move in as all the fish came up from North Shields to Tynemouth, but still I do like the Snapper and my Grandfather was in the East Yorks in WW1. Finally a couple of snaps of 68427 with coal for shipment to the London River.. I am going to have to put together about 3 or 4 different sequences to get everything i want to run. Cheers guys and thanks for the encouragement. 18 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianblenk Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 ES1 brings fish up from Riverside South Shields to Sunderland (via Coast) Parcels. The servos on the semaphores need almost constant adjustment, anyone else have this problem? It's becoming a nuisance. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianblenk Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 Someone will know the answer to this; if I am running out fish vans they would normally be XP, would they be returned as XP? I'm guessing they would want them back ASAP? Thanks guys! IB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianblenk Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 Latest edition to the stock list; 61987 Tyne Dock's last K3 withdrawn 1960 still paired with tender carrying the earlier B.R. logo. 987 will be mainly allocated to Class K workings. Although in truth it is rather surplus to requirements. Weather brush applied as you can probably tell! Too bad outside to do any spray painting. Next job finish the N8 which will also have a role on the next NE project. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baz Thanks for that, I was wondering how they would return, and thought they would come back as XP traffic, it will give me a reason to have an A2 or A3 actually doing some work instead of running light.

ianblenk Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 New items of rolling stock on Tynebank are few and far between, like buses you wait for ages. then three turn up. Left to right; Parkside fish van, Parkside 12t pipe wagon and Chivers pigeon van. Now i should really get on with finishing South Gallions in time for Newcastle in November, you have to be positive! 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I do need info about pipe loads, I've cut up some straws, but I'm guessing in reality the pipe loads would not just happen to be the same length as the wagon, or were they manufactured that length so the customer could then fabricate to whatever specs? Railway modelling gets you to ask the most obscure questions! Cheers IB 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
