gismorail Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Enjoyed the first running session Andy you really are an amazing person to have things up a running so quickly Not sure that all the modern stuff is quite my thing but that’s just personal , and if we were all like me they’d never be a layout built 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted September 10, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 10, 2021 I enjoyed the running video but please Mr Peters can you put a health warning up for us of a sensitive disposition. This video contains images of toy engines making noise and some in Colas livery . I got a L&YR 4-6-4T a real beast of a loco and Fowler class 3 2-6-2T today. Photos of them will appear in due course on Sheff Ex. 3 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you slow down with the video making now ... I'm on No. 4!!!! Glad you are enjoying the build tho mate. I did worry that you may regret the move from 7mm, but its great to see you back into what you do best - and the model railways good too Rich 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as for doing what I do best, YES BODGING. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted September 11, 2021 Author Share Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) Same Loco as above, 70805 @ Eastleigh 3rd Oct 2019 when I came Souf House Hunting and also visited the Fareham Show and had a play on Ian @Temeraire Tidmouth Layout.

P.C.M Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Hi Andy, I am enjoying the new layout build its looking great. the Locos parked up by the station certainly has that Eastleigh vibe. I don't mind the Colas livery and really quite like the class 70s they sound quite good and just look powerful. Cheers Peter. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree about the 70's both in looks and Sounds, mine is much better than in the last Video now that the Volume is right down. Might get another if I can find a Freightliner one at the right price, AND once I've finnished spending money on other things, see further down. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted September 11, 2021 Author Share Posted September 11, 2021 Guess where I went this morning. Sod all happening at the Station so it was then off to AC Models. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted September 11, 2021 Author Share Posted September 11, 2021 Needed loads of little bits for the Layout, but whilst in AC Models I saw this, made by Oxford Rail, and thought WOW, the quality is absolutely superb, and compared to Bachmann and Hornby, a really good price. Its s such a shame that the Road side will rarely get seen, other than in a few pictures of the Street and entrance. Also got the little Island building as well, such a shame the the original Island Platform Building got burned down a few years ago, and was replaced with this carbuncle of a building. Just need a Footbridge next. 17 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted September 11, 2021 Author Share Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) Since back, I've made a start on the Control Panel, this should be fun. Inside there will be a bank of about 50 of the Male / Female terminal Plugs, with the main wires attached, and then the wires from the switches on the front panel will go into the other halves so that I can take the front panel completely off to work on it, on the bench if need be.

Paul R Hi Paul, I very much doubt it, as much as I like them, I don't think they ever went West, although I will probably be proved wrong now. It will be interesting to see what the Cavalex ones are going to like, the spec looks superb, and if their as good as the Wagons they make, it will be a winner. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Andy, Very rare, but they have been - 56049 made it to Par and then onto Fowey Docks to recover a KFA wagon in December 2019 https://www.tauntontrains.co.uk/workingslog/byloco/56049 56078 worked a Westbury to Hemerdon and back from Totnes civil engineers CWR working in Jan 2014. https://www.tauntontrains.co.uk/workingslog/byloco/56078 Out of your time period, but a couple of 56s did work the St Blazey to Cliffe Vale in 1995, if you need a rule #1. The Colas ones got to Newton Abbot/Teigngrace regularly on the Timber traffic - so you could have a Cornish timber flow if you really wanted one! 56064 also reached Penzance in May 1995 on a charter https://www.tauntontrains.co.uk/workingslog/byloco/56064 so an enthusiast goods lines trip to Newquay would give you a chance to use that extensive passenger stock that you've got hidden away from us all!!! .. or maybe it could rescue the bubble car Rich 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
