(It reads "Portway welcomes careful drivers") Nice RS-3, Weaver or Atlas? As to "careful driving"; this sign was installed on a Monday, hit sometime before Wednesday afternoon, I took the photo the following Sunday, and surprisingly it was replaced the next day (Monday):: 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium TheQ Posted February 17, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 17, 2020 Crime 1... I watched nobody's dancing on ice last night, in my defence one of the dances had an image of the City of Truro, and a few carriages in the background. Crime 2,3,4.... 1000000.. My future exhibition layout will have.. Locos and carriages in highland green, some will be diseasals There will be private owner wagons... The layouts called Tiree and Tiree only a had a one horse power track on the pier, this has as well, main line and branch based on HR practice. Oh and it's based around the date of 1963... 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, that reminds me of a near disaster of mine. I took my Hornby APT down to the clubroom and run it once around, which went fine. I then fiddled with it This time, I gave it full power and off it went - got to show off the tilt in action, around the largish radius curves! As it was howling through the station, one of our members stepped forward & grabbed it! I looked at him strangely and he glared back at me. On looking at the APT, I realised why. I must have released the pantograph with my fiddling, which in true Hornby style, went way up in the air, well outside any loading gauge. Of course the member in question, was the one who had only recently built the footbridge. He wasn't happy. 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordon s Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) Little known fact, but back in 1969, we sent the Yanks Flying Scotsman. Not to be out done, they sent us this.....

gordon s Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) It is indeed. I had to move the platform back a tad, but otherwise it's alive and kicking. It thundered through my pointwork at full tilt, so that was a relief....... Edited February 17, 2020 by gordon s 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
