RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted November 27, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 27, 2017 This weekend Banbury will be at the Manchester show. A good part of yesterday was spent working on fitting the new Revolution / C Rail containers to the flat cars. The hard part was removing the old containers as even those fixed with canopy glue took some careful prizing off. Still two more to fit but they are awaiting the Revolution flat cars. Also the latest Dapol 67014 in Wrexham and Shropshire livery has now found a slot in the stock boxes. Looking g forward to the show. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted December 3, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 3, 2017 Thanks Phil. A very good weekend apart from Mike getting a call that his mum had a fall and in the Ambulance to hospital. Luckily we were unloaded into the hall and being next to Piccadilly station he caught a train back to our place to collect his car and had the usual signal failures we get most days. His mum is stable when I contacted him. So a last minute call Phatbob had arranged us help for the weekend. A very busy show and a great spot in the venue being able to watch trains go by through the windows. The layout performed very well but some of us, me included had a few operational mistakes. A photo of my last acquisition, a Christmas present from my other half. Now we just need three more and the S stock in between them. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted December 18, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 18, 2017 Had ordered an A1 Locomotive Society head board and recently fitted to my apple green Tornado ready for Banbury's next outing in the new year. Was also a good chance to give this well used model a clean. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted December 23, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 23, 2017 Jo It was someone on the N gauge group on Facebook. He had three left when I ordered a bout 4 weeks ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted January 15, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 15, 2018 Just under a week to go before our first show of the year and it's a lot closer than our last one of 2017. We will be at the Guildford show this Sunday. Unfortunately no Pendolino drags yet as they will only just be leaving China. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted January 19, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) A new loco arrived yesterday. A Farish Thunderbird and suitable decoder. This is for the dragging of Pendolinos through Banbury when they arrive from China. I doubt that this has ever happened on the real location but rule number one will be invoked till I have a more suitable layout to run it on.Anyone have any proof if a Pendolino has been dragged through Banbury?Also in the post was a Digikeijs unit which I hope to set up tomorrow and then use on Sunday, probably just for programming for now but we shall see.

RMweb Premium GWRPhil Posted January 21, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 21, 2018 I think rule one may have to be invoked. Been trawling through web but can’t find evidence of pendolino drag through Banbury. Have found plenty of evidence of pretendolino drag through Banbury. Here’s the video Perhaps that could be enough to stretch for artistic license? 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted January 22, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 22, 2018 Just a couple of photos taken yesterday at the Guildford show which was very busy in the morning. The layout ran well but we did have a few long operating shifts. However being a one day show we were OK. Next weekend we have a two day show at the Southampton clubs show near Eastleigh. Should be a full crew. We also had three potential invites for future years, so the layout will be out and about for a few more years to come. May well fit block detection in the next few months but it may just be in the fiddleyard to start with. Photos of Tornado with its new headboard passing through Banbury with its support coach. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted January 26, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 26, 2018 Our second show of the year this weekend. We will be at the Southampton clubs exhibition in Eastleigh. If Gordon has his sound fitted class 40 with home we may well be seeing it again on railtour duty. I can see me fitting more sound decoders into various locos in the near future.

Gordon D Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 "If Gordon has his sound fitted class 40 with home we may well be seeing it again on railtour duty" - yep, it's still in my stock box from last weekend, so will be on duty again if required.

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted January 29, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 29, 2018 Another good weekend with the layout at the Southampton show. A very well attended one aswell. We had Gordon's whistler on my rake of blood and custard mk1s. Britannia was on the other charter set. A good crew, so thanks to Gordon D, Big P, Mike and my other half. A few potential invites to shows in the South. Our next show with this layout is Preston. A few photos taken over the weekend. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
