pitbull1845 Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 I've just spent the last hour researching YouTube and in particular, Newport station. I've come to the conclusion that 1999/2000 offers the best in terms of loco livery variety, so that's the era I'm going to go for. My scenic FY may now become a homage to Godfrey Road! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Hi Scott, In that case the steelworks could be based on a site within Newport Dock or on the Uskmouth branch I believe there is a steel facility. They used to use a brake van when propelling a train down the branch with would be a useful job for your brake van.

pitbull1845 Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) Hi.. Just a quick update from me before I head out on the school run.. The scenic FY is coming on well, and I've decided to name it after another of my did not finish layouts. Redbrook. As I intimated earlier, the era is moving slightly to allow a few more livery varieties, and after a couple of sales I've purchased the latest loco for the fleet. Meet 56059; stabled in the sidings.

Tinsley Snail Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) Hi, Really like what you have done here. Very atmospheric, well done. Do you know the maker of the kit for the gantry crane, please? I could do with one for a project I have in mind for the new year.

They used to use a brake van when propelling a train down the branch with would be a useful job for your brake van. Didn't they later use a FCA (or FYA depending on it's modifications) flat with a chopped 20' box as a propelling control vehicle? Air pipe connected into the box.

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted November 12, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 12, 2018 As Tidworth and New Bryford are mere feet apart at Warley I'm betting Scott ends up spending as much time chatting steelworks as operating 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
