Satan's Goldfish Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 HI All One for the C Rail artwork dep some time I think. The New Hapag Lloyd livery Regards Arran Wow, that's bright enough that i think my glasses just tinted themselves..... wouldn't be able to lose that one in a hurry. Ta v much Al, such details would be handy on the WL website BTW. Get Matt to do it, not like he's much else to do. Arf! See you at one or both, I did Sudbury with Llanbluei back in the day. Local for you and Mags! C6T. Good idea, feed back like this is always useful. I'll see if i can start adding hyper-links to the relevent show's sites by each show date we visit. If i was paid for this could think about outsourcing my job to China..... HI All Do you have pics of the real Norfolkline 40ft HC !!!! Tank cads are about finished so what livery to start with!!! Regards Arran I did find pics of a roco HO model Norfolk Line 40ft HC after ours was done, by some miracle the livery is exactly the same..... but no, no real ones yet! Even as a 45 they seem to be a bit of rare one. What about Exsif very common at Tilbury 1364000_2.jpg Seconded.....but then i don't really know any others off the top of my head.

Swifty11 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Just wait a few months and we'll be saying things like this about the new drs 68's. personally I'm looking forward to them. Much nicer to look at than the 70'sThose 70s are a fire hazard and the worst thing that the human race blessed with the gift of sight has seen!

See you at one or both, I did Sudbury with Llanbluei back in the day. Local for you and Mags! C6T. Just for you Classsix, website has recieved an update, now including links to the shows we will be attending the rest of this year and the start of next year: http://www.warrenlane.co.uk/index.php?p=1_2_Exhibition-Calendar I'll add links for the later 2014 dates at a more appropriate time. It's good seeing what layouts will be at other shows we're visiting, there's a couple coming up i've always wanted to see and didn't realise we'll be at the same place.

Satan's Goldfish Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 THE BIG UGLY CONTAINER CHALLENGE!!! Right boys and girls, there's only so many containers that can be fit on 1 layout and we all have our different favorites so this one is being put to a 'vote' from you all. If anyone can really class this as their most favorite container ever then you have issues. The sad thing is there's more than one of them! The rules are simple and are as follows: If this post can get 100 like/funny/agree/etc ratings then we'll create the art work for this container and Alan will be forced to make it and run it on Warren Lane. Edit: Due to it reaching 100 'Likes' so quickly there is to be a slight alteration. The container will be built for Warren Lane, however if it reaches 200 'button presses' at the bottom (this includes 'Dislikes') before October 9th a second container will be built which will be given away at the Peterborough show on the 19th/20th October. If it fails to reach 200, then instead I will have to operate the show in a tiger outfit. Here she is! Original image here: http://www.matts-place.com/intermodal/part1/images/stp/xxxu2207811.jpg It's a 40ft High-Cube, it's German, and roughly translates to 'Specialists in Removals and Transport for the Canary Islands'. And as previously mentioned the sad thing is there's more than 1 of them (check their website if you don't believe me.) Vote with your fingers, tell your friends! Matt (....crap if this does get 100 votes i'm gonna have to try and make that transfer!!!!!) Good news folks, not only have we passed 200 so we will give away a box Peterborough, we've also passed 200 non-negative votes so i don't have to wear the Tiger outfit for the entire 2 day show. The consulation prize for those wanting to see someone at a show in a tiger costume is Alan will have to present the box at the end of the Sunday wearing it instead. To be in with a chance to win the box you will need to be at the Peterborough show where we will be running a 'simple' competition over the 2 days, closing an hour before the end of Sunday. All the correct answers will be put in a hat and someone not affiliated with Warren Lane will be press-ganged into pulling out a winner. See you there!!!

Satan's Goldfish Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Well that's a lot more notifications in a couple of hours than i was expecting!..... The count is currently at 48 and 7 of the 9 'like' buttons have been used, Extra points for whoever manage to use the last 2! A big thank you to everyone that has voted so far, nearly half way there, i promise good pained emotion photo's of Alan as he's made to create it if the target is reached. (Edit: 'thanks' and 'agree' are the buttons still unused by the way) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satan's Goldfish Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Somehow from yesterday afternoon to this morning, it's up to 90 votes (counting the 'dislikes'!).....I didn't think there was that many people here! I'm due to briefly see Alan in passing in an hour or so, let's see if i can give him some bad news by then! Thank you all again for voting, 10 to go!!!!!

Pete Harvey Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 When's the full test for the New Warren Lane? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satan's Goldfish Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Well, even if i discount the 'Dislikes' that's still over 100 votes in less than 24 hours......You lot must really hate Alan!!! Making him have to run that abomination on his layout?! Shame on you all! A big thank you to everyone for taking the time to vote, and a very big thank you to Andy Y for linking it at the top of every page. I'm sure i'll receive some very harsh payback at a later date. I'm not counting on it, frankly i'm amazed it reach 100, but each multiple of 100 reached on post #1798 will equal another hideous container. Pete - That's a very good question, track laying still needs to be finished on the end boards for a start. There's no definate date for a full test, we're kinda making it up as we go along at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satan's Goldfish Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 You were indeed 'Dutch_Master', well done! Because of how unexpectedly quickly that target has been reached i'm trying reach Alan to discuss a possible alteration to the 'agreement' (don't worry, at least 1 will have to be made) so please keep voting people and watch out (hopefully) for a beneficial change to 'the rules' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satan's Goldfish Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 'Challenge' Alteration!!! http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/23763-warren-lane/?p=1115886 Never fear the box will be made, but there's now more on offer if the votes keep coming...
