RMweb Gold 46444 Posted February 6, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 6, 2020 Hi Alex, I'm using my Huawei P20 mobile phone with Leica lens. I'm not sure if that constitutes a National Security risk? Bit of cropping and editing on the phone. Then on to Flickr. Nice and easy.

RMweb Gold 46444 Posted February 11, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 11, 2020 This afternoon Skylark undertook a spot of shunting at Wadenhoe Road under the watchful eye of Archibald Houghton and his trusty Fowler traction engine..

Earl Bathurst Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Lovely layout. Great pictures. Look forward to seeing more photographs. Do you have a track plan and size of the layout available? What are you using for uncoupling wagons and coaches? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much appreciated. I'm taking the layout apart tomorrow so I'll try and get an helicopter shot for you. Watch this space. Size wise Wadenhoe Road is about 4ft x 1ft. Again I'll measure it tomorrow. Couplings are a mixture of Minitrains and Peco. On the Bachmann Baldwin's I replaced the Bachmann couplings for Peco ones due to compatability issues. Uncoupling wise a piece of wire or a small screwdriver. Thanks once again. Mark Edited February 13, 2020 by 46444 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 46444 Posted February 13, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 13, 2020 More manouvers take place at Wadenhoe Road. Skylark in charge of proceedings once more.

RMweb Gold 46444 Posted February 15, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 15, 2020 Blown back safely across the M62 this evening after an excellent show at Rainford and NG North. Thanks to Stan and his team for organising a brilliant day. Great selection of layouts, traders and loverly catering. Great to catch up with Andy, David and Charles also. A few snaps of Wadenhoe Road today... Cheers, Mark 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted February 16, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 16, 2020 Wadenhoe Road really does have a nice look and feel to it, Mark. The last two pictures are spot on. Top stuff. Rob 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully the layout managed to behave itself especially with my line in electrics department. Certainly not my favourite aspect of building a model railway...

RMweb Gold bcnPete Posted February 16, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 16, 2020 I agree with the above Mark - those two pictures nail it Nice to see the layout with some stock that matches the Rail gauges too Any more shows lined up? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgman Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Having just found the thread I have to say it has been a very enjoyable read from start to finish on a miserable Sunday morning. An excellent minimalist layout which exudes atmosphere and is a real credit to you and your modelling techniques. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The open minimilist feel hopefully brings a sense of calm to the setting portraying that sleepy railway backwater feel. Thanks, Mark 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Calm and charm, in an environment and era when rural railways, in harmony with rural life, were rather slower-paced. I am aware of, and follow, several other RMweb layouts that exude the same relaxing atmosphere. They are a welcome contrast to the "Clapham Junction on speed" theme that model layouts are more often noted for. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do like the calm and charm discription Will use that one at a later date when discussing Wadenhoe Road I think Cheers, Mark.
