60maniac Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Hello, Well after all these 'attempts' at a layout lol I have finally concocted some track to the way I like it and for operation 'interest', the layout Newby Street station is a station based on a fictional WCML north around Crewe were it is served by local DMU service run by a 153/150 and a mainline through service run by Virgin trains the layout has a gas works, TMD and a coal/loading yard the TMD is run by DBS and maintains there fleet of class 60s/66s based at the depot and adjacent loading yard which at this moment at time is being used by DBS to store redundant locomotives I will get some pics up by the end of tomorrow hopefully Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

60maniac Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 Well as said this is a hopefully 'proper' layout so I've tweaked some bits to make the track more even and more yard/TMD space the station will now hold a 5-car pendolino which is handy also the gasworks has no rail connection for the time being the tmd has moved to the loading area and the loading area is no behind the station will put pics up tonight; Thanks guys for the comments I hope everyone has a happy new year Many thanks Richard B) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edinburgh Junction Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I've only got 1 37 (another on its way, which you are also getting 37670 'St Blazey T&RS Depot' in DBS livery)... and no 60s! First 60 I would get, would be 60040 in Army livery, which is a beast! Maybe next years present, though I've got my eye on a FL 70.... Very good! Can't wait to see your track plan!
