George Woodcock Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Hello You can play the 'game of what if' with any number of closed lines. We have done it with 'Brixworth Station' as well as Towcester. Fenchurch St Peter is also a slightly modified original though not brough up to a later date. You need to have a reasonable reason for doing it and also plausible means to operate in a later guise. Glad you liked it and I wish you well with your ideas.

Nobby (John) Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 I do like the concept I have often wondered about the S and D in a similar vein. How about the East Somerset being connected at Sheppton Mallet with stone trains going both north and south. Passenger services in the hands of 33/1 and 4TC. One day....... Keith No reason why not Keith, go for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted January 17, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) Hi George I too liked the waffle you wrote justifying Towcester having a rail service well past its real closing date. Well done mate. I thought the whole edition of this months Modeller was very good, the fish vans, the LMS/BR five plank wagons and the layouts. It isn't often I buy a railway modelling magazine but this was a good one. Edited January 17, 2019 by Clive Mortimore Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Woodcock Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Hello Thank-you for your kind comments Clive, glad you enjoyed it. Yes I thought the Modeller was good this month but then I would say that wouldn't I. Cheers George 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

meld Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Very good to see George and his support crew today venture South of the Watford services.

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted January 19, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 19, 2019 What you having on your pizza Clive. Cheese, bacon, chicken (well I think it was) peppers, onion and some other stuff. I think the eldest chose it. The rest of the family think I am boring because if they let me choose it is just cheese and tomato but that is what I like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Woodcock Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Hello It was nice to go to Canterbury yesterday and see so many old friends and some very fine layouts and of course to bid farewell to TWY on this farewell performance, (at least for now). There did seem to be more operators than there were trains on the layout which is saying something. We had a nice, safe journey home, in my case to a cold house with no heat or hot water. wonderful. All the best for the team today. See you at Kendal. Cheers George 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
