Seeing that Class 14 has certainly whetted my appetite for the forthcoming Minerva model.

[Alister_G]

Hi Andy, it sounds like you are beginning to get the urge to build something else?

 

Look forward to any developments.

I was certainly impressed with that acceleration but I won't be buying one!

Fantastic video Andy. Got me thinking seeing that 50 and wondering of you were angling after an NSE one from the next batch to go with your NSE 33. Bit pricey if you ask me particularly since they will have recovered the tooling costs on batch 1.

 

Paul R

Cheers Paul, No 50's for me, but there will be an up date soon.

Great video Andy, keep 'em coming. A diesel gala and no dmu in sight, and all the better for it. All the best, Trevor

Cheers Trevor, Yes, the nearest was the 4TC Push Pull set, which was nice.

It was going downhill back to Alresford Paul.

O.K. All, I've broken wind,  cover.

 

 Seven Mills and Bench Road and all my Stock will be ALL SOLD OFF after the next Photo Shoot later this Month.

 

Yes I know I've said it before, but this time it has to go.

I've been sitting on my chair, staring into space almost every day for the last year, and so a final, FINAL, FINAL decision had to be made.

 

A new project will be in OO and will be started in the Layouts section in due course, once Seven Mills and Bench Road has gone, and the Baseboards are built. Suffice to say at the moment that I am looking forward immensely to  the challenge and will enjoy the build.

 

Inspired by what I see at Eastleigh.

Cheers George, just need the Photo Shoot out of the way so that I can get stuff advertised.

 

Seven Mills will be considerably cheaper that the last time I advertised it, even though I had about 36 people watching it.

Well I shall b sorry to see the 0 gauge stuff go, but I quite understand that you need to be building it what you do.

Cheers Don, Yes the Build is the part I'm looking forward to and adding the details, as always.

 

This has been a great Layout, and in fact still is, and for someone with a bit more room to extend, or form a Roundy there is a lot of mileage left in it yet for someone to take on.

[Adrian Stevenson]

Good luck with the new layout!

 

l will look forwards to watching it develop. I know building and laying the track is what you love.

 

Cheers, Ade.

[Andrew P]

Cheers Ade, loads to do, but that's what I need to stop me stagnating every day.

 

Fun, fun, fun.

[Adrian Stevenson]

I think you have made a tough decision but the right one for you.

[Andrew P]

This is the one that I've got, I photographed at Eastleigh in Oct 2019.

[Physicsman]

Andy, it comes as no surprise that you've made that decision, and since you are a serial layout builder, for the sake of your sanity it's definitely the right thing to do.

 

You've done this on a number of occasions and you should have no regrets. Sitting twiddling your thumbs thinking of possible layouts you'd like to build would have driven you nuts.

 

Hope you manage to find a good home(s) for the O gauge gear and recoup plenty of dosh!

Thanks Jeff, Yes, it has to be done, all in the name of a good cause, haha.
