She said; Hi, sat down, hitched up her skirt, and pulled off the shoulder straps, (not that I noticed) haha. Looks Hot 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know Gosport a bit too well from my time at HMS Sultan (33025 lol) a long story - you have the Purbecks round the corner even Swanage run Cromptons regularly - best wishes with the move.

Don't buy any more trains until you move. The removal company will charge you for more packing boxes, or even a second van. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 Just waiting for Ade to pick me up for our trip to the Telford O Gauge Show, so here's a quickie for this morning. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulgabill Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 As I have mentioned on 7 Mills, it was agreat day out yesterday. My first ever experience of DCC, and I have to admit if I was starting from nothing, I could be tempted. My impression of New Mills was that it was quite different to the RM Web pics. Of course everything was there, the same layout. But it is somewhat smaller and more delicate in real life. A bit like fine porcelaine compared to an ordinary kitchen mug. That backscene really belongs, and the tunnels / hillside is finely done. Everything flows so naturally. And unusual these days, no trees, but were they missed? No. I like your thoughts for future developments, so hope it doesn't sell, because it could become something even more special. Apologies for the quality (lack of) in the pics, I would have sworn I'd taken more, but was perhaps too busy making your trains run away! Once again thanks for a very special day out, and hope you have enjoyed your trip to Telford today. TONY 11 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted September 2, 2019 Author Share Posted September 2, 2019 Thanks Tony and Saxo, for the nice comments, I did look at an O Gauge 60 in three tone grey yesterday, but kept my wallet in my pocket. but here is the 00 version working through New Mills on a Trafford Park to Bescot Load. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted September 2, 2019 Author Share Posted September 2, 2019 This morning I've fitted the two Sound Chips I got re blown at DigiTrains yesterday, one for the Railfreight 47, and one for the 56. Then after Lunch and a knap I've dressed the RES 47, The covered Wagon in the photo is a Lima HO one as when I first moved to Burton in 2005 there was a Train about 8am each morning with 5 French Canvas Steel Wagons came up from the South and then backed across all the Main Lines into Dixies Sidings for unloading. Sorry about the quality, I didn't use the Tripod, it was just hand held. 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Bogie Posted September 4, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 4, 2019 I have been away for work in a part of Queensland where electricity is not available (except by private generator). Needless to say nobody has internet let alone an electric model railway. I come back and not only is this layout for sale but so is TOPS. Is it a package deal? Good luck with all your plans. I trust your priority is a property with a very large shed with some living space. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Bogie, TOPS will stay for a new owner to do what they wish with it, but alas, I have to start all over again from the ground up, not only with a Layout, but also TOPS2. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted September 4, 2019 Author Share Posted September 4, 2019 (edited) I am struggling to stay positive at the moment, and certainly not relishing the thoughts of starting to build and fit out a Shed or somewhere next year. So I had a running / Photo / Video session this morning, so some pics etc later. Edited September 4, 2019 by Andrew P 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
