jetmorgan Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Really enjoyed seeing Much Murkle today at the London Fest. Got plenty of pics to go through and given a bit of boost for getting on with my own layout. It certainly was drawing some crowds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetmorgan Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Just curious about the push pull set you had running on the Saturday. Is the brake/cab end coach you have running on the set a conversion of one of the old Hornby/Triang clerestory coaches or is it a kit built coach? I presume the second coach of the set is a kit. I should have asked at the time I know but you all looked rather busy with running the layout. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best explanation I can give is to refer you to the thread I posted on how the set was built here at http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/89453-kitbashing-a-gwr-clifton-downs-auto-set/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold nickwood Posted March 26, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 26, 2017 Thanks to everyone who has commented positively about Much Murkle here and at the show. We had a great weekend and spoke to many people about various aspects of the layout. Couplings seemed to be the thing that intrigued the most people and I lost count of how many we sent towards Wizard Models to enquire about DG couplers.

RMweb Gold Revolution Mike B Posted March 27, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) Good to see your layout again at the weekend Nick. Didn't say hello as you looked really busy!

Ashley Bridge Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Hi Nick, Sunday was obviously the quieter day, I enjoyed the opportunity to have a brief chat during breaks from operating on another layout there. As usual, you had nice, smooth running and a really interesting collection of stock. Regards, Rich. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlandman Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Hi Nick It was good to catch up with you and Much Murkle on Sunday. As always the layout looked, and behaved, wonderfully. You've done a great job on the 14xx, Thanks for the recommendation, it's definitely going on the to get list for Salcombe Harbour. I also hope to get on a bit more with the layout after your encouragement, many thanks. Keep up the great work. Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold nickwood Posted March 29, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 29, 2017 Thanks Andy, sorry I couldn't place you at first, but it had been a while since we last spoke. I do hope that you get your mojo back as the work you have done on Salcombe Harbour so far is superb. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold trw1089 Posted April 14, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 14, 2017 Hi Nick Just downloaded the latest Great Layouts book (Vol 2) by Hornby mag and see that Much Murkle featured halfway through. Great to see it in there and have loved seeing all the pics from your latest two outings on this thread. Definitely worthy of the moniker "Great Layout"!

RMweb Gold sjrixon Posted April 14, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 14, 2017 I'll second that Tony.. Also, having not ready Hornby for very long, I'd not seen their article. There are some pictures of the layout I'd not seen before.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Tony That's the first I've heard about it, nice of Hornby Magazine to let me know I shall now have to go to the newsagents to have a look. MM has changed so much since Trevor Jones photographed it for Hornby Magazine in 2012. There have been many improvements to the buildings, scenic details and weathering and it makes for interesting comparison between Trevor's photos and those Andy Y took for publication in BRM in 2015. The earlier Hornby photos look very sterile in my view, partly perhaps because of the stage of MM's evolution and partly the photo techniques used. Andy's seem to me to be much more atmospheric.

RMweb Gold nickwood Posted April 19, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 19, 2017 Much Murkle's next outing will be in Fareham at Rotorail on Saturday 22nd April. This show is organised by Fareham Rotary Club and all profits will go to the Flat Spaces Foundation http://www.flatspaces.co.uk If you are visiting please say hello. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
john flann Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Nick, a worthy cause to support. In my late wife's latter years she was dependent on a wheelchair to get around. It's very difficult, not least for the disabled and anything "flat" is so very helpful. I wish you and the Society success in the day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
