Well after a fairly awful morning, I came home, and inspired by the pics of the 7mm Depot Layout from the Leigh O Gauge Show, that George T posted on Kingsmill (Midland Road) TMD, I decided to have a good run on SMS in readiness for the Large Logo 37, and Blue 47 to arrive from David / Jintyman on Sunday. They will both be a nice addition to the fleet and will make SMS even more enjoyable.

 

Anyway, here are some pics from earlier.

 

 

 

Maybe I should have built a TEN ROAD fiddle Yard.

 

And some stuff still to dispose of to fund more Blues Power.

A very nice evening with a visit from Ade Stevenson, now Ade is really a Steam man, so I had to oblige on SMS, and as I only have the Black 08 / 13003, the Ivatt 2MT  and the Jinty, so a lot of Shunting ensued.

Here are some pics from this evenings running.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maybe some more later.

[Andrew P]

Some more but it won't let me up load any more, AGAIN.

There you go, SMS as a steam layout.

And it works, just need to take out the Fuel Pumps and make them sidings.

[Andrew P]

And so, back to normality.
 

 

 

Well almost, AGAIN it won't let me up load any more.

This will be my last post and pics, it's just far to frustrating.

 

[Adrian Stevenson]

Thanks for a nice night Andy. I am really getting the hang of the controller now.

 

Cheers, Ade.

Just make them both removable on dowels and you will have 'two-for-one'!

Hi Peter, Cheers, I don't even need the dowels as the unit just sits on the deck, but on a personal note, it will only run as Blue Diesels when I'm alone, and change to Steam for the odd invited guest who prefers it.

Stock wise it will just be the same without the Railfreight Wagons / Vans etc.

I really don't know what to do about up loading the pics. I shrink them all down and over the years never had a problem. The last 3 pics from last night got me more than frustrated as I had 5 I wanted to post, but the last 2 would not get accepted and the 3 you see needed many attempts to get to work without the error 200 message coming up, and the pics being rejected.

At last, one of last nights REJECTS, set at 1074 x 805 and 334kb? whatever that is, as I don't understand kb/mb and gb's etc.

This morning I've ordered a Warwell from Hattons, it's in 1970's MOD Olive Green, so will work the MOD Branch quite nicely.

After a visit to Mum this morning, (she slept all through it) I returned for a hour in TOPS before lunch, and so decided to have a good running session. here are some pics to start with, (if I can get them to load).

 

 

 

More later?  

 

[Andrew P]

Well O.K. then.

 

 

 

YES, more again later.
