Thanks Andy, I am hoping the new Heljan 7mm 25 is ok, I wouldn't mind one of those.

 

Cheers Peter.

I've just put a short Video on Seven Mills, with the 25 / 5191, on the Oils. Jintyman is doing another 25/0 and picking up my 25/3 later in the week to sound fit that one as well.

Enjoying the new photos, thanks for updating us Peter!

 

Nice to see some of the yard and 'shed to be' - what are your plans for it? Can you share an in-progress pic?

 

Cheers, Chris

Thanks Chris, I started the engine shed last year, I should really crack on with it but I have been playing with my 7mm layout recently. I have a few sound chips to fit in the next few weeks so hopefully I can do some more after that.

 

Cheers Peter.

Just catching up with all your super photos Peter, really brings back memories of my 80s spotting & bashing days, great stuff as always!

 

Martyn.

Thanks Martyn, That's what its all about for me, recreating those days out taking pictures and doing a bit of Bashing. Running some of my favourite loco's from back then plus ones I didn't see much of like the class 40s and class 25s.

 

Cheers Peter.

Evening Andy, I will go have a look. You are making some good progress. I had a look at the Invertrains website too as I will need a Signal box for Holmes Road. Though I might have to move some track to make one fit.

 Sound is the next thing I will be doing with some of my 7mm stock I am looking at doing a class 20 first.

 

Cheers Peter.

Because my Layout is only in my 18ft Shed, with about a 35ft Run and short Trains / 5 to 6 Wagons, David / Jintyman has removed one Motor from each of my 20's, and then been able to fit an OO Chip, saving about £60 or so.

 

Good luck with the fitting.

Thanks Andy thats the plan, I have been in contact with Digitrains so know what chip to get and suitable speaker.

I'm not bored either. Bit late to the show, but definitely not bored! ;) As Hillside said, it just evokes the memory of BR so well :)

Thanks Rich, Glad it brings back  memories  from the 80s the mid 80s was an interesting time with new liveries coming out and loco classes being withdrawn.

 

Cheers Peter.

I never get bored of this layout!

Thanks Rob, See you have been busy too, the class 31 is looking good.

 

Cheers Peter.

Thanks Peter, I think I finally have my preferred approach for creating my Hybrid Hornby Lima 31s now!. Your models of 25059 and 25109 look excellent, I love a Rat with ploughs.
