RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted October 9, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 9, 2015 Hi Dave, That fascia looks really nice and frames the layout very well. I feel quite strongly that for exhibition layouts it is important to create a complete presentation, and you've done a great job there. cheers Ben A.

RMweb Premium Dave Searle Posted October 10, 2015 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) A very good first day, lots of interest, especially from the younger viewers, many of who said it was their favourite layout and had to be almost dragged away. Counting wagons and containers proved popluar We had many interesting conversations with a variety of interested and knowledgeable people, the lack of barriers directly in front of the layout meant we were nearer to the public and could chat more easily. If you spoke to us - many thanks, it's always good to hear your thoughts. So our feet are tired, but but we're very happy, roll on tomorrow.

Iron Horse Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Never been but going on Saturday so I shall say hello. Haven't been on that bridge by the lake since I left Oxford in 1992...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Dave Searle Posted February 9, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 9, 2016 Well, we had a great time at the show, the layout behaved well and there was lots of interest from the viewing public. The show was very well organised with plenty of good layouts and traders and we felt very welcome. It was good to speak to several members of RMWeb who stopped by to say hello. I counted 50 ballast wagons in the yard: We managed to pack up and get away at the end of the show inside 60 minutes, just avoiding getting drenched by the rain. Many thanks to the Stafford Club for a great show. Cheers,Dave 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted February 9, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 9, 2016 Dave Looking very good. How are your class 165/6s coming along? I bet you are glad that you bought the auto ballasters before they shot up in price. Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted February 9, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 9, 2016 Hello Dave, Aren't some of your autoballasters NGS kits too? These may provide a more cost effective route, though the details can be quite fiddly and I think they are best built in batches! Incidentally, on the DEMU forum I have read that some of the JJAs have acquired yellow bands with Network Rail branding, though I have not yet seen any photos... cheers Ben A.

RMweb Premium Dave Searle Posted February 9, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 9, 2016 The ballast wagons are a mix of 20 Farish JJA autoballasters, all three types of NGS kits (10x JJA & 10x HQA) and Modern Image Models (10x MRA side-tippers) . Ian, I've passed the 165/166s over to Andy who is going to strip them down, smooth some slight ridges and then re-spray them (properly). We're not going to rush them.

RMweb Premium Dave Searle Posted April 20, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 20, 2016 Hi, Hinksey is about to have a busy couple of weeks. We're at NESCOT (Epsom) this weekend (23/24 April), the Club's Open day in Ewell on the 2nd May and then we are attending the Watford Model Railway Exhibition on the 7th May. Hope to see some of you at one of these events. Cheers,Dave 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted April 20, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) Hello Dave, Hope the shows go well. Incidentally, I saw recently this a shot of one of the Railtrack liveried autoballasters now bearing a yellow stripe and plain black Network Rail branding - another livery variation... It also appears to have been re-bogied with cast frame Y25s. https://flic.kr/p/DP95jY Cheers Ben A. Edited April 20, 2016 by Ben A Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Mike Posted April 20, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 20, 2016 I've got a few shots (taken from a railtour earlier this year so not the best!) of the NR JJAs: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ukrail/albums/72157664549130785 though I hadn't noticed they had new bogies!

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted September 6, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 6, 2017 I wonder if we will be back to back as per the last time Banbury and Hinksey Yard were at the same show ! See you on Saturday. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pompeydave Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I saw this at the Woking exhibition today. An excellent layout , I went away quite inspired to plan something in 'n'. Surely 2mm stock should be half the price of 4mm.........right? Looking forward to seeing the layout again soon. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
