Hello

 

 

      Thanks for the nice comments. A few more trees have been planted since the pictures were taken. Hopefully next week all the point rodding should be in place. The rake of tanks wagons in some of the pictures are in 'as bought' condition. They will be fitted with S Kits single ladder etched walkways, pepainted and renumbered to represent a late 70s Esso train. A rake of Tunnel liveried Presflos also to follow. Most of the rolling stock  we now possess but there are few gaps to fill, at least to get us through the first exhibitin at Stafford next February. After that we have nearly ayear before it's next show to complete the job. 

 

 

                                                                                             Cheers

 

                                                                                                  George

George and Nobby could have had 60108 and 60099 to complement the signal box.

 

60099 was "Ben More Assynt". Didn't think there was a 60108..........................  :locomotive:

 

Oh - you mean water boilers........... :jester:  

 

Cheers,

Mick

Off to George's today to lay track in the fiddle yards and to see what additional scenery had been added.

Arrived to find a couple of posed trains, 33 on cement and 46 on mail vans.

This could be a large diorama until we wire up the points and build a control panel!!

Great work George and John.

 

It's all come together rather nicely.

 

Has DT been involved with this project at all?

 

Cheers,

Ha!! Far too many points and far too big!! :no:  :no:

 

Though I expect I'll get roped in to the operating team!!

 

Disgusting of Market Harborough

 

I thought that might flush you out? ;)

 

Been keeping a low profile of late! :D

 

Well I certainly look forward to seeing you, George and John at the helm of this lovely layout.

 

Cheers,

Although I believe it's been mostly George... Or at least that's what George tells me.

 

Cheers,

Mick

 

Don't believe everything! :D

Hi Nobby

 

Have you seen the problem the other Towcester is having http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/72904-towcester-1930-50/?p=1188932

 

The prospect Mr Disinherited of Marked Half-price helping dirve Towcester doesn't seem too bad compared with invasion Mike has had. :O

Hi Clive

I've just had my annual invasion of cluster flies in my loft where my home layout Norton Town is, smoke bombed the little blighters over the weekend and hoovered up about 1000 of the little devils.

At least I will now be clear until the same time next year.............
