georgeT Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Andy thanks for inviting me down to help you operate 'Deesdale Road' at Ruddington (sat 13th), it was very enjoyable, and the layout performed wonderfully, with a nice collection of wagons and 'sound' locos, with two gaugemaster DCC controllers made it even better with two operations at a time, Thanks again.......

cupoftea Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Really nice work Andrew. Your work is inspiring. I have been working on a small layout (my first layout) for months now and it is nowhere near complete. I am amazed by the speed at which you produce such a high standard of work.

Wherry Lines Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Hi Andrew. I've looked through this thread several times since you started it, and I am very impressed by your work. It's nice to see a 'contemporary' layout, especially in a small space. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 Whats the future for deesdale now then mate, any more shows booked, look forward to coming for a chat at modal rail live Neil Hi Neil, Yes, Lichfield on 10th Sep, Model Rail 17/18, and then Ilkeston next Feb 26th. Glen Roy at Kirkby in Ashfield 8 / 9th Oct this year. Hopefully Marston will be out on Nov 25 / 26th at our clubs open weekend in Gresley near Swadlincote and then on the circuit for next year. If you see me come and have a play on the layouts, its always good to get someone else to do some work whilst I have a cup of tea , and that goes for anyone else out there who sees me at a show. Just had a great weekend at Ruddington, a nice relaxing show and a ride behind a Class 25 down to Loughborough and back made me think, I must get some noise sorted for Marston! I will post some pic's when I have got more time. Andy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trisonic Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Andrew, I have no idea why I have only just caught up with this thread. What a lovely layout! I like the way we can see how your mind works as it gets extended........ The guitar on the luthier's wall advert looks familiar: That's "Hank" one of my Chapins. Best, Pete. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

YEA NOT HALF, I had a Hank Marvin Fender Squire when they first came out and I was lead guitar in Stratagy (playing Strats and a bit agey! )with my mate George ( GEORGE T ) I would have loved a real Marvin replica with the Gold hardware. Thanks for the nice comments on the layout too. Andy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Two thing's in life l enjoy most, Model Railway's and electric guitar's, you don't need anything else, Andy the layout just get's better every time l see it, certainly make's a big difference with SOUND, really bring's it to life, looking forward to seeing Marsden come to life the way that you do it............

Andrew P Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 Really like this layout!! Great close up pictures, what type of camera did you use and is the layout going to venture down south? Steve. Hi Steve, my camera is a Fuji S5700, 7.5 Mega Pixels, for close up shots at home I use the Apature Setting at 3.5 BUT this dose not always work at shows, it all depends on the room lighting. As for going south, well I used to live just north of Portsmouth and it would be good to do a show down that way but would mean an overnight stay as I now have hip problems and could not make the drive of about 150 miles to a show, stand behind the layout all day and then drive another 150 or so miles back home again. I could probably do Oxford area and back but thats about it these days, (the joys of getting old and riding Moto Cross when I was young and silly). all the best Andy.
