Rolling Stock for my retirement project - Bristol in 1970

I'm planning on retiring in 3 or 4 years and adjourning to the loft.

 

Its 32' x 18' and I've planned out a layout based on a much reduced Bristol.

 

Bath Road Depot, Malago Vale Carriage Sidings, Bristol East Yard (much reduced in size) and a couple of the platforms at Temple Meads.

 

It will take me a long time to complete, but I've been building up the fleet for a long time, so I thought I'd start a thread!

 

Any and every comment is very welcome.

It looks very ambitious and should keep you busy many years into retirement. 

 

A decent model of Bath Road depot from those days would be enough to keep me busy operationally. Trying to shunt East Sidings and have trains to/from Malago Vale might be a little frantic, especially if you try a summer Saturday.  I hope you have lots of friendly volunteers to man the controllers. 

 

Good luck with everything.

Thanks Jonny

 

It is ambitious, but to be honest I'm far more interested in building it than running it!

 

There would be a lot to do for just me, but I think each bit could just be operated in isolation

 

I've worked on the railways all my life and there are a few of my friends who have agreed to help.

 

............not least with the electrics!

 

I reckon 15 years and I'll have cracked it!!
