aussiebrfan Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Hi Peter, Looking great as always, never tire of looking at your layout. Something to aspire to! Have always meant to ask you what signals have you used? Hope to see you Saturday, two layouts running, weather should be brilliant compared to last year!

Waverley West Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Nice Peter, as always. Even a ScotRail Mk 1 too! You need a nice shiny ex-works ScotRail 47 on one of your test runs. I've seen a few photos of them on test along the North Wales coast. Cheers,Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.C.M Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 Every time I see this (which is often, cos Im nosey) I think how good Peco track looks when treated right Thanks Micky, Some bits look better than others, but I am often asked if it's code 75.

Grimleygrid Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Superb Peter, loving the Railfreight Tractor and Crompton. You really need to get some video sorted out for us to enjoy! Great idea Dave, I think this is what you have in mind: 47701 Llandudno Jct. 19-3-1986 by merf292002, on Flickr 47706 33022 by DBS 60100, on Flickr Come on Peter, you know you want to!

DIRTY DIESEL Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 47701 Llandudno Jct. 19-3-1986 by merf292002! This photo was taken by Merf from the S&T up the old concrete lamp which was out of use when this picture was taken and still there to this day. It's also taken where I would eat my butties when I was a box lad, strangely enough when a class 40 was shunting the yard! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

class"66" Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Realy like your samphore signals!! Are they Ratio?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C.M Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 Hi Alex, Thanks for the pics. Merf has some superb stuff on his Flickr site. Plenty of North Wales shots. Not sure why someone has disagreed with your post though. Cheers Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C.M Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 Realy like your samphore signals!! Are they Ratio?? Hi Mate, They are Ratio kits. I can't remember the part number but you can build a few from it. Some I did as per instructions others I changed to suit my needs. I am not totally sure if I have done done them correctly but they look ok. They need handrails and could do with some finer MSE arms. Cheers Peter.

P.C.M Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 I chased the one with 47701 Saint Andrew to Bangor after it passed me at Conway. For those interested the other loco was 33035. The train worked back as the 14.17 Bangor-Cardiff, a 'regular' for running-in turns at that time seeing as Crewe Works was busy doing refurbishment work on various classes. Hi Larry, Hope you are well. I think it must be your picture I have seen in a book off the train passing Conway Castle. Cheers Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post P.C.M Posted December 12, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2014 So while we are waiting for a 47/7 to turn up on test here is probably one of my most photographed loco's on a short rake of ZHVs A mix of Airfix and Parkside kits.

Grimleygrid Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Hi DirtyDiesel, it is a great photo. Hadn’t realised it was taken by Merf of RMWeb!Nice location to have your butties! Hi Dave, we just need to get Peter to get that 47/7 working at Llanbourne! Hi Peter, I have been looking at his superb collection of photos. Found a photo of a class 25 being rerailed at a Toton open day, superb!I was a bit confused about that too! Nice to see some chopper action at Llanbourne. I always liked the mix of a Blue and a Railfreight pairing. Looking forward to seeing the ScotRail 47! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 1986-7 They may have had an old class 25 for re-railing excercise. Anyway here is a Shove Duff with 33010. I wasn't going to get one of these loco's as they were a bit pricey. Anyway a mate got hold of this one for $100.00 and was going to paint it blue. I said it would be a shame to repaint it, and long story short it's now mine. I will do some work on the loco at some point it hasn't even got a decoder in it yet. Cheers Peter. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waverley West Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Anyway a mate got hold of this one for $100.00 and was going to paint it blue. What, paint it blue? .... Paint it blue???!! ... Sacrilege!!!! Nice Peter. Very nice indeed. That 33 and the 47 make a strange combination in some ways, and yet it looks very right. I have some Bachmann 47s waiting in the wings for weathering. Santa is bringing me a couple of decoders for them this year, so I'm hoping to crack on with them in the New Year. The first two I'm thinking of are 47710 and 47541 The Queen Mother. Looking forward to seeing that 47 once you've done some work on it. It looks good right now though anyway. Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimleygrid Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Superb Peter, Dave is right the combo is strange but works really well. It certainly looks right at home at Llanbourne. Great photos. All this talk of Scottish 47s is distracting me, I need to remain focused on Railfreight power and in particular Type 5 traction.........

Cheers Dave Hi Dave, I know, when he told me he was going to paint it blue I just had to save it. It's such a nice livery and Bachmann have done a great job on it. What Livery are you going to do 47541 I remember seeing it at Haymarket in Large Logo. My class 47/7 will be a while as I have a few things on the go at the moment. Plus in front of that class 47 is a Large logo and a Railfreight liv loco. Currently on the workbench 20x2 40122 56070 a 150 and some MGRs. Cheers Peter.
