Andrew P Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 Today has seen an old Motor Trade jobbie, a cut and shut. Like all good Layouts, planning is essential, so I don't bother to much as I know things MIGHT change over time, and so it has today. And this is where I am this evening, although I might put a couple of dead end roads in from the Fiddle Yard later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 (edited) As predicted, a couple of extra Tracks for Loco Storage and were finally there. The furthest point on the right into the fuel tanks is currently a Y but will be changed to a Left. The Oil Tanks is O Gauge and will be replaced.

The actual tank doesn't look too overscale, really, it's just the height of the berm. Could you cut it down a bit? Al. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea though mate. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold MarshLane Posted April 27, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 27, 2019 This is looking nice Andy - considering you sold all your OO gauge locos after King's Morton, you've quite rapidly built up a nice fleet! You know me, I do enjoy 1980s diesels hehe! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALL my Layouts will now be BR Blue, probably. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 Thanks Ade, very quiet, visited mum and did a bit outside before falling asleep in the chair TWICE, Dee says it's now down to OLD AGE. Hope you didn't spend to much at the O Gauge Show today, and that George T fellow didn't lead you astray. I'm free Monday night at the moment if that is any good mate. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the pics George, Really good pics of what looks like a superb Layout. I should have my O Gauge Large Logo 37 back from Jintyman on Sunday, Sound fitted and ready to go, and the 47 back as well. the weathering job on that 37 in the pics above looks superb, and I can't wait now to get my weathering gear out and do all my fleet in both ''O'' and ''OO''. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I done a downsizing exercise many years ago and slowly replaced most of my missing classes. I don't have a green (or maroon or sand or golden ochre) Western but I do have two blue ones. Surprisingly a class 26 is absent from my stock pile. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Blue 56 would also be a nice addition, but as were set around the Midlands, there will (UNFORTUNATELY) no 26 or 27's or 33's I suspect, certainly in the short term. 50's would have gone all West Country Passenger by the 80's so that rules them out as well. BTW Martin, I already have 2 x 47's but still no 37's YET. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
