M.R.P.G Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 NEWS Yesterday Andy York visited us to photograph some of our layouts for appearances in BRM. He photographed "Depot Lane", my layouts "Jubilee Road" and "Annesley Woodhouse" and Shaun's "Ripley" It was a very enjoyable day and if the sample images we have already received are anything to go by, the photos will be amazing! Thanks to Shaun for letting us turn his house into an exhibition hall for the day Cheers Simon 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mydadstoys Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Hi Simon I have just caught up ready and enjoying the pictures of your layout. The modelling skills within the layout build are excellent with a keen eye for attention to detail. Enjoy the exhibition at the weekend mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I’m still very inspired by this layout. Out of interest, how many locos do you have to run on it, and what is the realistic maximum that you can have in the scenic section at one time?

Out of interest, how many locos do you have to run on it, and what is the realistic maximum that you can have in the scenic section at one time? Looking back at the images and the layout I would say 11 locos on scene is a maximum - it might increase by one with more bo-bos and less co-cos It's a wonderfully simple concept that can work across many diesel eras though I myself am not a fan of 66 dominated scenes. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Operating the layout in the 1970s, 80s era with the smaller loco classes like 08, 20, 24, 25 we normally have around 5 or 6 loco's, and a few wagons to make it more interesting. Here is Pauls "Colas" fleet running just 4 so there's room to move about still. Cheers Shaun. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke the train spotter Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Wow that is a lot of money for not a of detail or realism. I'd be curious to see how the seller would be able to have any shunting potential when it looks like just 4 pieces of straight flex track.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
