RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted May 22, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 22, 2013 I've been asked at short notice to fill in at an exhibition on 29 June so Pixash Lane will be at the Model Railway Exhibition at Hucclecote Methodist Church Gloucester. The show is open from 10 to 5 and is primarily in aid of Cancer Research. The address is Carisbrooke Road at GL3 3QP and I'm told there are about 11 layouts attending but other than that I have not much info. Say hello if you look in Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame, as I'd love to see Pixash Lane againand this time get a chance to watch it for a while....Let us know when & where the next shows are Oh, and more piccies please Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
south_tyne Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) Hi Chris, I just want to say this is a wonderful little layout, the compostion and balance of the scene is superb. Like Marc I am particularly taken with the sidings in front of the fiddle yard, it is a simple but so effective cameo. In fact it has inspired me to give something similar a go as a stand alone entity. Thanks for posting and I look forward to seeing more pictures!

exmoordave Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Hi Chris What a shame, I don't think I can make the show that week-end. I've been wanting to see it again after my first look-see a couple of years back at Compton Dando, when I was there with my own layout, "Southall Lane". Something to do with Sod and his law. Ah well, maybe next time......... exmoordave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted June 9, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 9, 2013 Marc was asking for more pictures - by way of an experiment here's a recent picture I've tried to re-size Chris 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted June 26, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 26, 2013 Pixash Update 1. Just a gentle bump to help publicise the show in Gloucester on Saturday. Pixash Lane will be at the Model Railway Exhibition at Hucclecote Methodist Church Gloucester. The show is open from 10 to 5 and is primarily in aid of Cancer Research. The address is Carisbrooke Road at GL3 3QP and I'm told there are about 11 layouts attending but other than that I have not much info. 2. Photos and article have gone off to RM but I have no idea when it will appear. Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium HillsideDepot Posted June 29, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 29, 2013 I really enjoyed seeing Pixash Lane at Hucclecote today, every bit as good as the photos on here, and then some. Very nice! Could prove to be an expensive trip for me though, as I'm coming round to the idea that perhaps digital sound has now achieved the realism I seek; that 03 pottering about was sublime. The Gardner engine is quiet and smooth, but the clunks and hisses as it selected gears really set the scene. Less is very definitely more in this case. I hope the day was a good one from the exhibitors point of view, certainly very inspiring for me, and went some way towards covering the disappointment of not going to Penzance today with D1015, which had been "plan A" until she was declared unfit. Thank you. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted January 11, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 11, 2014 Pixash is now also doing Hornby Mag's Great Electric Train Show in October - that should be it for this year as I need to concentrate on the 7mm project Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnaby Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) Hello Pixash Lane, Gilbert, Chris. a great layout you have there with some subtle touches that bring it alive. Now my years have got to my eyes I've moved over to 7mm but looking at some of your pics the detail I like in the bigger scale also exists in your layout. Do you have a track plan for your layout so that I can get a feel for the operating sequence. I can see you have shown a pic of the main track work but is it single track to the cement works or is there a run around loop there. Great work. Regards EDIT::: Answering my own question I've just spotted it's single track then splits into 2 via a point.

marc smith Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Yes, I too like Pixash LaneI think it needs more of an "airing" and I'd love to see it again Chris....BTW. I'd back up Barnaby's request for a track plan....Having seen the layout, I'd say there's perhaps even more operating potential than you might first think...CheersMarcPS. Gilbert - we don't mind you lying to us, if it means Pixash is getting more outings Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnaby Thanks for that - I too have gone over to 7mm - so "son of Pixash" will emerge soon - first outing at Stow on 18 May I'll scan a plan of Pixash and post it.

RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted March 26, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) As requested - one poor sketch of Pixash Lane - I've added a 2 siding FY extension on the right since this was done.

Pixash Plan.JPG Chris Hi Chris / Gilbert, Many thanks for posting that plan It's a great design I do like the concept and design of that fiddle yard on the right..... Something about it being both fiddle yard and access to the factory siding at the rear.... It's something quite different from the norm Cheers again, and more photos please Those are some cracking photos in post 41 Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
