Hi all,

 

Here is a selection of photos taken by AY for the current issue of BRM featuring my layout 'DENT STATION' these were not published but certainly deserve an outing.

I've just not paid five quid for a programme and there's only one track plan in it.

Poor effort!!

 

Mike.

Plenty of track plans in the centre section of my programme, have you checked to see if yours is stapled together properly?

 

[Kier Hardy]

Must apologise for the delay in getting here today, came downstairs to find the kitchen half inch deep in water..... looks like the dishwasher has had a hissy fit overnight. Anyway, without further ado, we'll (not) get the van unloaded and find a space to (not) set up the layout in a back room out of the way.

Can we open some windows in the hall to get a breeze through...the air is getting a bit ripe now...

It appears we forgot to pack the extension lead...….

So you will have to make do with some stills of small Prairie 4550 arriving with the B set at Little Muddle station and then departing towards the main line.

 

I would like to thank Little Muddle Photographers for these shots.

Ken Dobetter was at the station

Mary Mee in and around the yard

and finally

Peter Outt for the viaduct

A few more photos of Sheep Dip and in particular our resident Peckett. 

 

This time, taking a leaf from Al's Ladmanlow, we go all a bit monochrome. 

 

Pretty much in the style of 'Visions of Steam ' by Cavalier and Silcock.

We can't have an exhibition without seeing a model of Britain's greatest ever class of locomotive.

Could you get the Squadron Leader to fly it down and drop it off?

Apologies Rob, 

 

There appears to be an error in the link. The video appears to stop short. Can you post it again but this time including the footage of the King Arthur? 

 

Cheers,

Andy's been a bit swift getting his camera out to take a few snaps of the train set, so here's a few for you. 

Waiting in platform 2 for the road ahead is a pair of Class 20 locomotives, 8145 in green livery and D8077 in blue, destined for East London with a loaded coal train made up of 16 ton mineral wagons.

 

Peak Class 46 number 153 passes through on the Down Fast with an express service to Newcastle, the rake consisting mainly of BR mk2a coaching stock. In the background a mixed freight takes the Up Slow through platform 1.

 

Leaving the station area behind on our journey to the motive power depot at Hornsey Road, we catch a glimpse inside the garage where a team of fitters are busy working on various motor cars.

 

Making their way back to the Midlands from East London with an unfitted rake of empty HOP21 wagons are BR Derby type 2 locos 7576 & 5189 awaiting a clear road.

 

An unusual visitor to the area is this 6-car Swindon built Trans-Pennine DMU heading for Finsbury Park with the 1Z24 'Footex' special full of Hull City fans who will be watching their team play away at Highbury.

 

Moments later, an Up Pullman service slows for a signal check on the last leg of its journey with Deltic 9009 Alycidon in charge. Meanwhile a LMR Division DC lines Class 501 glides past with a Broad Street to Hornsey Broadway terminating service.

 

Nearing the depot we pass pockets of industry, including Fordhams milk distribution depot located on Hornsey New Road. Kaff's doing a roaring trade, as you would expect around lunchtime. We'll take a break now and have a snack before we get to the depot - I've heard Kaff's burgers are to die for!!

Having managed not to offend anyone, no, me either, whilst setting up and cleaning the track the backscene goes on. A 16ft digitally printed roll using an image kindly supplied by Chris Nevard ( https://nevardmedia.blogspot.com/ ) is attached to the supporting structure, and lighting rig added. Thing is do I display it in early years or its final guise...

The invisible AJ couplings are working very well Cap'n. Where can I buy them from please?

Over on Manifold Valley Minerals, on a hastily laid length of flexi-track, the first ever loco to move under it's own power

Great to see Little Muddle at an exhibition!

One of the best scenically detailed layouts on RMWeb, which I follow religiously!

Tony

[Metr0Land]

Not sure if I'll have the layout not finished in time for not closing time.  I've lost quite a bit of time bringing my workbench up the the rmweb bronze standard, but feel I've made a good stab at it.  This means I can not create modules for plonking on areas of the layout.

With the layout it was always configured one way or another for photographic use. At shows people would stand in front and scratch their head as they 'sort of' recognised it. The WD shot going away is a typical example. I was one of those who used B&W images deliberately and early on, to capture as best 'atmosphere' it wasn't until 2011 that it really focussed on being Forest of Dean, prior to that it ranged from Scotland to USA and most other regions of the UK.

That may not even be the best locomotive  ever called Spitfire. Just sayin'

 

 

[TEAMYAKIMA]

Apologies for our late arrival, but when some people outside the gate discovered this was a Chinese layout they started shouting abuse at us and saying that we shouldn't be allowed in. Eventually Andy turned up and told them where to stick their nonsense and we eventually got the van in and parked up.

 

Anyway, better late than never , finally up and running - but as usual at exhibitions 'foreign' layouts get stuck in a separate hall!
