TONY Yes Tony, In 1977 I saw a lot of 33's, 47's and 50's on the Portsmouth / Cardiff / Bristol / Waterloo Trains in my Lunch hours at Fratton, standing, looking over the approach road wall and getting covered in BLUE SMOKE, haha. I've never seen a Hymek even in preservation. I believe 31's also worked into Pompey on the Parcels Trains, but as far as I know, I never saw any. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted December 21, 2019 Author Share Posted December 21, 2019 So this morning having NOT pre planned what I would be doing in TOPS, I looked around for some inspiration, Then it hit me, well no, to be honest it very slowly dawned me. The Fiddle Yard,. It needed some more storage, so I made a tray to sit over the Sector Plate and to be able to slide from end to end, or be taken off and just used as a tray. Nothing fancy, so underneath are two bits of ply offcuts to sit inside the uprights on the sector plate, and some more bits around the outside to stop stuff falling onto the floor. SIMPLES REALLY. 9 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted December 22, 2019 Author Share Posted December 22, 2019 Nice little job before getting some fresh air and walking the Dog this morning. I've made the Bund for the Fuel Tank. I'm imagining that there is also a well inside the Bund, as per the one at Exeter St Davids. The Steps have come from the Double Portacabin kit, so I knew they would come in handy one day. Just the Road to sort out now. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted December 22, 2019 Author Share Posted December 22, 2019 For those who have been following AS closely will have seen pics and reference to the next project when I get down South. Well it might be started sooner than I imagined, I will be going to see if my Timber Merchant is open tomorrow, so that I have something to do in the New Year whilst STILL waiting for a buyer for our abode. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
