two tone green Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Dave was doing some tweaking to the control system at the time.

250BOB Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Dave was doing some tweaking to the control system at the time. I was stood right next to him chatting about life the universe and his owl photos. The above post was said in jest A few years ago I was actually invited to drive a train past a signal at danger on this layout, in order to induce a SPAD, and see if the SPAD warning signal was working. I was highly honoured..!!! Great layout, very approachable bunch of guys too. Bob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin46 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Shame about the poor driving skills and SPAD's We even have our own penalty system for who SPADs the most on the Saturday:-) They buy the first round on Saturday night It is only playing trains afterall!!

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted September 17, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 17, 2014 So how many points did he get for the wrong direction SuperSpad then? Great selection of trains on show and I liked the gradual updating if scenery with the vans parked up, is this going to be a big van hire forecourt with decals on all the vans?

RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted September 17, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 17, 2014 Hi Paul, SPAD man escaped as we had a kitty running and it still had lots of cash in it ! The new area is now a van storage for Sealand Van Hire, in honour of the guy who gives us a great deal on the van - Darren. There is still a lot of work to do. Not sure how many noticed it but there is a switch diamond (fully working) on one corner of the fiddle yard, this was it's first outing and gives even more flexibility - it also involved me spending quite a few hours relocking the "frame" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
7APT7 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Hi mate Always a great layout to stand and watch, whenever you see this layout at a show... love to watch the behind the scenes with all the fiddle yard and the computer controlled that you have setup....

RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted September 17, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 17, 2014 Next year now - watch this space ! If anyone want's a go they are always welcome - as long as there aren't any problems with the layout - we generally don't ask because people run away screaming when they see the fiddle yard ( approx.75 points and more are being added) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium richierich Posted September 18, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 18, 2014 I really enjoyed seeing the layout at York in April. It must be a lot of fun to operate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

250BOB Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I really enjoyed seeing the layout at York in April. It must be a lot of fun to operate. I can second that sentiment..........................there is a great sense of realism when you have to obey signals operated by a remote signalman.

RMweb Premium richierich Posted September 20, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 20, 2014 It certainly is - you should make yourself known, then you can find out for yourself ! Sounds like a nice invitation. I'll see if I can get along to Doncaster in February. A friend I was with I think knows one of the guys in the team. They had a chat about work stuff and then about the SPAD indicators. There is a great consistency in the scenics, and operation of the rolling stock. Indeed it was good to see the layout, because I enjoyed in article in MRM back in 2008 or 2009? (its a shame that magazine folded). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
