Andrew P Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 Some more pics from Monday of the new 37. Snow ploughs will be fitted before I start the weathering. Also the Warwell arrived today from Hattons, it really is stunning and has a good weight to it as well, just need to find a suitable load for it now. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Hi Barnaby, I've gone for the 70's MOD version as that fits both my time period and the MOD line, but why stop at O N E ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a Layout there? No layout but its looking like the we'll have the MIOG display there promoting the exhibition in November and anything Modern in 7mm we can lay our hands on! Not sure if I spoke to you at Stafford. Al. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I think I know who you are now, and yes we did speak briefly, and you were showing us the Cl 37 front mods amongst other things, I think the problem there was you were so near the food, the smell of hot pasties got the better of me. haha. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted May 11, 2019 Author Share Posted May 11, 2019 A very short running session before going to see Mum this morning, and then a longer one on my return. IGNORE the times from the Camera, I thought I'd turned the darn things off. So just a few of the 83 pics to begin with. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium PJ10 Posted May 11, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 11, 2019 Great Photos Andy, especially the one of the 20 and 25 timestamped 13:32. I'll have to stop looking at this and George's Grundy Street thread. Fantastic modelling but a move to O gauge would be far too expensive.

PJ10 Hi PJ, You can easily replicate in ''OO'', have you seen my TWO current ''OO'' Layouts, Mason Street, (Goods), and Kingsmill, (Midland Road) TMD, in the Layouts section.

RMweb Premium PJ10 Posted May 11, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 11, 2019 HI Andy, Yes I've seen and regularly catch up on both your current OO layouts and impressive they are too. Although I have to confess that I think your best ever OO layout was the original Kingsmill. And yes both Seven Mills and Grundy Street could be created in OO. However I suspect that something would be missing, something that you and George seem to have been able to capture. Is it the detail, the presence, that O gauge and good modelling brings? For now I'll stick to OO - far far too much stock to change - and watch both your and George's creations come to life. Perhaps an exhibition invite may come to enable me (and many others I suspect) to enjoy them in the flesh. Anybody from the DEMU committee on line?

PJ10 Thanks, SMS would be to much for me to manage at a show these days, I will ask at DEMU if they want Kingsmill TMD for next year. Your words to George and I are very kind, but most of my modelling is really copying what others, far more talented than me can achieve. All the best, Andy. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted May 11, 2019 Author Share Posted May 11, 2019 It's strange, because I've done many Shows, including Model Rail Live at Barrow Hill twice and many good shows but the three shows I always wanted to do FOR FREE, were Derby, Nottingham and DEMU. Still never to old I suppose to do it before I pop upstairs to meet my maker, (or down where it might be a bit warmer) and Miss Whiplash maybe. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
