So I thought I go and cut the lawn but got side tracked and thought I'll give the track a quick clean and give the Class 40 a quick test run.. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sun VI Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) You've just sparked a memory - many years ago I worked with a lad whose brother worked for Segas, the South Eastern Gas Board as it was before privatisation. He was provided with a Bedford Beagle van which he was able to take home, while for his own transport he owned an HA Viva saloon. Every time the van went in for a service, the next weekend it would be stripped of the new plugs, points, filters and oil which were then swopped on to the Viva saloon ... A very atmospheric layout, excellent work. Edited March 24, 2020 by Sun VI 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold jcarta Posted March 25, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) A whole day spent tiling the bathroom so no time to get out in the sunshine today but hopefully I will finish it tomorrow and then I find its gonna get colder... Anyway a picture of a beast in the shape of 55015 "Tuylar" on shed for a top up of the diesel tanks for its next duty.....

RMweb Gold jcarta Posted March 26, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) Purchased this as a kit (I believe it's a Westdale) with lots of parts missing so I had to get creative and either make or try and source parts..... In the end it turned out ok and is now a runner on the layout Edited April 1, 2022 by jcarta 8 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Ray H Posted March 27, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 27, 2020 I thought for a minute that you'd acquired another one ! How's the tiling going? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold jcarta Posted March 27, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Evening I've actually got two of them..... this one and another in Maroon....

RMweb Gold jcarta Posted March 28, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) 56040 stabling at Ayr Road whilst the outgoing signaller (shift change) and the PW walker have a chat..... This thing lights up like a christmas tree Ignore the small piece of red tape..... we found the bogie was touching the chassis resulting in it shorting but this has been resolved.

RMweb Gold jcarta Posted April 2, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) A little bit off piste today....... The good thing about my travel to work in the rush hour in today's present climate........ Get dropped off at the station..... right outside the front doors....... Tick Don't even have to show my pass to the nice folk on the barriers, they just smile and wave you through. Tick Onto platform 4 where the train has already arrived and waiting for moi to board and not have trouble finding a seat. Tick A whole carriage to myself ......... Tick Arrival at Euston where we were held outside for 5 minutes and nothing left..... somethings never change !!!!! No Tick ... Room for improvement Could have a good game of football on the concourse......more staff than punters.... Tick Finally onto the last leg of my journey a quick walk around to Euston Square and had to wait 2 minutes for my train .... Tick Social distancing at it's best..... Tick All in all left home at 0745 and in the office within 55 minutes......with no pushing or shoving.... Huge Tick Let the train take the strain Edited April 3, 2020 by jcarta 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tick Not just me then. We did a tour of a new office before it was kitted out and all I could think of was the cracking game of 5 a side we could have every day if they left it empty!
