Andrew P Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 Andy With regards to your Jinty, if I may be so bold, a Ivatt class 2 2-6-2T, Standard 2 2-6-2T, or even a Standard 4 2-6-4T would be more prototypical. Together with the 2-6-0 versions of the 2MT family they were seen in the area, along with Std 4 4-6-0's. Of course you can always apply Rule 1 ( it's my train set!) Thanks Martin, I had an Ivatt 2MT, 2-6-2 some years ago on my Trebudoc Layout, but that was Sold with the Layout unfortunately, and as I can't afford a larger or Kit Built Loco it is Rule 1, and the Jinty has been called into Service. The Ivatt seen here on Trebudoc in a pic by our very own Andy Y, for BRM. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwr Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 A siding going the other way always makes it more interesting to operate in my humble opinion Paul R Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMR CHRIS Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I'll measure it up tomorrow, nice idea. What about a Carriage shed in place of the Dairy, Andy to park the Auto coach under that way there could be 4 goods trains on the sector plate and the auto service runs to the empty fiddle yard road after the goods has arrived and started to shunt the yard.

Thanks for the idea Chris, but TBH if anything goes back in there it would have to be low level, something like a disused Cattle Dock maybe, that is now used for Engineers Trains. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) With reference to Martin / Martin Wales post in #75, and my reply in Post #76, last night I had a chat to the Guy from our Club that bought Trebudoc, and the Ivatt 2MT pictured above, he said it rarely gets used as he runs mainly GWR, and so a deal was struck, and it will be coming back to me next week. The Number will need to be changed to 41204 / 6C Croes Newydd Shed from 1964. Seen here again on Trebudoc from 2012, it is fitted with an SWD Sound Chip, and a pair of speakers glued back to back and fitted down the Smoke Box, and has a lovely Sound as can be heard in this Video, at about the 10 minute mark.

Andrew P Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) What a cracking day! Jeff / Binny and I started with a breakfast at Morrisons. Then off to the Great Central at Loughborough. Once there it was time for another Latte, by a nice warm fire. Then we saw an Engine! VIDEO later. Next a walk down to the Shed, and was given a lump of coal ready for my Steam Fleet and 16T Minerals, (always carry a Doggie Poo bag in your back pocket, PREFERABLY UNUSED). Diesel pics will appear on Seven Mills Sidings later. Edited January 12, 2019 by Andrew P 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) Then a short drive to Quorn and Woodhouse Station and another coffee and a warm up in the NAAFI Tea Room on the Platform. Not mine, must be Jeff's. Then some Green coaches arrived with an Engine under them Then another real Train arrived And departed Then back to TOPS for a running session on Seven Mills and Bala Town, (Bala pics soon).
