This last few weeks I've been a miserable git, and had no interest in running a lot of Trains or even taking many pics.

 

All of my Modelling materials are Doan Souf, but after a kick up the you know where from my mate Jeff / Binny, I decided to start a small project that can either come with me in the move, or be sold off later.

 

The Project is Cadley Hill, and can be found in the Layouts section or through the link here.

 

Mr Andy

 

Are you not the modern day version of Dr Beeching.......

 

Build it, Close it.... LOL

 

Blimey, if we give you two weeks of doing nothing .... Will we have a few new layouts to drool over?

I'll try NOT to close this one to early, as happened to the Great Central and the Somerset and Dorset IMHO. But yes I'm the first to admit, I've had a few failures along the way, Seven Mills has changed it's format several times over the last year or so, and it is still hoped that after the move there is still room for it somewhere. Two places I've seen have a nice Garage, but only about 15 and a bit feet long inside, and SMS is 17ft so needs 17 and a bit, so I'll have to wait and see what I end up with and where.

I remember leaning over the wall at Fratton / Portsmouth and looking down on the Black roofs and grubby sides of Blue 33's, 47's and 50's etc and choking me with smoke and fumes.

WONDERFUL

[Andrew P]

So lets start Super Saturday with a Dirty Duff, 47199 will do I think.

[D6775]

So with the move to the South Coast are we likely to see some kind of third rail venture with the upcoming Heljan 33's in residence?

Not thought about that Al, it would certainly be different for an O Gauge Layout, but around that Yard? naaaaaa

[Andrew P]

With over 24 Hrs without a picture I thought it about time I added one.

Although it's a bit of a damp squid morning, lets start with a brighter picture, this time it's the 56047 playing with the Catfish.

A rather nice picture of a grubby 25, and Lazy Joe still hasn't got his overalls dirty.

Andy's first attempt at extending the garage doesn't quite work out....

I like that, buy an old Land Rover, a set of Bull Bars and a Roll cadge, and jobs a goodun, haha.

So today we see 13003 Shunting the Yard.

[PannierTanker14]

I always found that the BR black livery suites the 08. (It also makes them spooky

 

great photo, as always

[gismorail]

The last picture with the black 08 is a stunner mate for some reason it's just got the atmosphere and content spot on ....

Its been a busy morning this morning, but better late than nerve, here is 47199 leaving with a couple of wagons for the Upper Yard at Seven Mills.

[Barnaby]

Busy day ahead Andy with clouds heading in from the hills, better be quick in the yard as rain is on the way.

 

 

Best

[Andrew P]

What a handsome beast!

[Andrew P]

Off out to TOPS shortly to continue work on my new Cadley Hill Layout, but in the meantime, here is a pic for this morning.

 

[Father Dougal]
