DCCmad Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 Thanks everyone Looks good, I assume it's DCC sound/it soon will be Thanks Will and no not yet sound, we are saving up to get all the locos we have got ready for layout sound fitted. Looks epic, are you removing the buck-eye coupler?Thanks, glad you mentioned at the time had no idea weather it was prototypical or not so im guessing its not so i will be removing it. Hoping to get some transfers made to re-brand one side of my freightliner HHA's to run with this and also we will be running it with the new rake of TTA wagons.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted February 8, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 8, 2014 Thanks, glad you mentioned at the time had no idea weather it was prototypical or not so im guessing its not so i will be removing it. IIRC, only 66003-66250 have the swinghead buckeye coupler. EDIT: Just realised the ECR Eurosheds have had the buckeye removed. http://www.flickr.com/photos/lauriemulrine/11871825054/ Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCCmad Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 Hi all, sorry for no update lately, the layout is currently on the back burner now but is still going a head as planned. We have decided to update Mill Lane T.M.D giving it a new shed building and a new set of inspection pits and over bits. For anyone interested you can check the pictures out on our website https://sites.google.com/site/milllanetmd/gallery/gallery , we will be hopefully completed with this i the next few weeks and it will hopefully be visiting COSSRAIL Leicester in May. Thanks Connor. . . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCCmad Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 Hi all, quick post, just wanted to show people something I've recently built, its a Kibri Rail & Road excavator kit which i purchased from On Tracks for only £15.20 excluding postage. I think the price is a bargain so i have also got another one on the way because i was so impressed with the results. http://www.ontracks....fromSearch=true It comes with easy to follow pictured instructions (not so much the language its in) and you have a choice of the finished look such as the attachments for the jib' you can have the grabber i opted for or a bucket, and on the chassis you can ether have a set of rail wheels or a plow which can be attached to the out riggers. To my own i have added brass hand rails in place of the flimsy plastic ones that only glue onto the body because i fund they were being knocked off to often for a exhibition layout. I will also be painting the details and will get a picture of that some time soon. Hope you find this intresting and look at getting one for yourselves because they are defiantly an added bonus for any layout and add a little extra to a area of the layouts.

tomstaf Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Thanks guys , try and get a track plan uploaded later on. We got the rest of the track work today from Stafford exhibition and also my grandad has started to lay it and ive only seen a few boards and its going to give us plenty of room for more stock. I've got some pictures of the 47 and 57 plus a pair of BDA's im detailing and making loads for. Thanks Connor Hi Connor, Veyr nice streaking on 57 312 Cheers Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisis Rail Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Doesn't seem that long back since 312 was on the WCML - (usually stabled at Preston in the Res siding or the North Platform) - cant beat the VT Livery but good work on the banana.

DCCmad Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Hi every one, Due to Due to starting work last year I've not had much chance to get on with things on the layout, my grandad has been doing another layout which is more to his era than mine, I hope sometime soon we will be able to get it finished but that isn't a promis. Just lilike to say that I don't seem to be getting some of the notifications for this topic although that may be due to me not being on here as much as I used to be.
