This morning on my way out, I was just in time to see 47199 waiting to depart to Dore End with a pair of old Brown VAA's in tow.

Now that's plain greedy, haha.

This morning we see Rat 25285 with a Train of VAA's, behind is 47199 and 37206. In No 2 Fuel Road is the Black 08, No 13003 and another Rat 25054 and in No 1 Fuel Road is 20, No 20154.

Another shot down the Yard, beneath the Bridge is 40007, with 33012 on No 2 Fuel Road, whilst 56047 runs through the Yard from Seven Up Junction to Dore End and will then go to West Shed for Servicing.

[Andrew P]

Only an hour in the POD today, but I managed to fit and wire up the two Yard Lamps over the Fuel Roads.

 

Their actually OO ones I had for Kingsmill TMD, but only used 4 of the 6 at that time. I found some plastic tubing in my scrap box and extended the height. There is one LED that is not working, but I can live with that.

I also moved all the Wagon Stock into the Fiddle Yards to see how a Stabling Point scene might look, but there's not enough room for all the Locos.

 

[Baggies1961]

Just a thought Andy, have you ever had any Marcway points?

Yeah...about time you had one.

[Alister_G]

Yeah you've got to get one Andy, if only for the sound chip of double Napiers in an O gauge loco with big speakers.

 

Al.

Haha, Don't you start Al, we had this with the 33's and we ALL know what happened there. 

 

I still might think about a Blue 56 though.

[Andrew P]

Between the Rain showers this morning I found the Yard was still full for the weekend lay over. I think Lazy Joe is a bit worried about the number of Bogies he will have to have a look at later.

Would you have a 73 if Dapol or Heljan made one?

I built a 3 way point once - no problems with it. That said I would use C and L now.

Not sure on that, I never saw a Blue one, only in later years as GBRF parked up at Eastleigh. Good question though, how about you Paul?

Now you mention L/Logo, YES I have seen a Blue L/Logo at Fratton and Chichester a few times, forgot about that, in that case put me down for one, yes, just the ONE, haha.

Hello Andy, l would love a 73 in O gauge, l loved the inter-city livery (taken at Fratton many moons ago) and GB Railfreight taken with you on one of our many trips to Eastleigh also many moons ago, love the yard lights on SMS...
