clogger Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Fantastic layout having seen it a couple times and it seems to get better every time. Just a quick question. What was a LNER Azusa doing at Basingstoke? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are berthed at Eastleigh and are crewed by GBRf drivers. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe something for a Meridian even seeing as a bi-mode would be wasted. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Geep7 Posted September 22, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 22, 2019 Was great to finally see this layout last weekend at the REC exhibition. Thanks for coming. What a fantastic little layout, lots of inspiration to fuel my desire to build a small shunting layout. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melangoose Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 I was at Exeter St David’s when the St Blazey to Exeter Riverside, China Clay train went through. I did think to myself, how many of those wagons started their journey at Melangoose. LOL 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from not recognising the view apart from the station signage it does raise a question or two...... Isn't that a GBRF loco...... If so ,why? My Grandson had been saying that he'd heard that there were other loco's apart from 66's on the Cornish Clay workings including 56's but implied it was Colas loco's...... Any info greatly appreciated..... Cheers Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only recent class 56 to Cornwall was a Colas one to fetch a railvac from Fowey for Network Rail. DB have the clay, so it's safely 66s only!

Yes Melangoose's layout looks great & I to hope to see it in the flesh one day..... The only reason I'd thought that it was a GBRF loco was that I'd been following Big Jim's thread & one was pictured there so had wrongly assumed they were GBRF Loco's not another company's loco.

Melangoose Posted August 13, 2020 Author Share Posted August 13, 2020 I was lucky to film this on my phone at Red Cow Crossing, so I though that I would share with you. I did make me think of Melangoose, which is in deep hibernation at the moment. Also can be seen the progress with the huge GWR depot. Enjoy 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Andrew, I should have said it was Exeter St David’s. The phone video was taken in the car park there which is a great place to observe the trains at the east end of the station. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Guys, Yeah, I thought it was, as I've been there, done that several times. It was Sidings tother to the right, and the Depot entrance to the left side when I was last there.
