bescotbeast Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 Thanks for the comments Sean, I've a few more recent updates to share. Bescot Speedlink trip arrives by bescotbeast, on Flickr Bescot Speedlink trip sets back by bescotbeast, on Flickr Class 20 hauled trip by bescotbeast, on Flickr After Hickmans Glass went over to Road deliveries for its sand, the sand siding fell into disuse. A local scrap merchant applied for a Section 8 Grant to refurbish the sand siding and to use it for dispatching scrap by rail to British Steel at Aldwarke. Here the first trip approaches with an empty SSA and HSA wagon for loading. Trip arrives by bescotbeast, on Flickr and here they are ready for loading by an elderly Fuchs F301 grab (old man Wiles who runs South Staffs Metal recycling took pity on it when it came in for scrapping and kept it on, he's also got a soft spot for old buses) First wagons in the scrap siding by bescotbeast, on Flickr 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bescotbeast Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 Another great update so much operating potential David Thanks David for the kind comments, I must thank Rivercider really as it's his many interesting threads on freight traffic in the Bristol area that give me ideas for Pendeford.

rob D2 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I really like the split level effect, makes it much more interesting. River cider also inspires me a lot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean hpw Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Love the new locos and stock! is the 85 a Bachmann or Hornby offering please? Sean Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bescotbeast Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 It's a Bachmann model Sean fitted with Legonambiffo sound, the previous owner has renumbered it and weathered it, I've added the wire loops for coupling so as not to lose the lovely pipework. I've got a Heljan 86 and Bachmann 08 going through Lees works which will re-emerge as 8604 "Halleys Comet" and 08805 in Railfreight grey.

bescotbeast Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) Nice, But I bet your not looking forward to Ballasting that lot ! That is a job I do seem to keep putting off, too busy buying wagons and trying to write a Trip Notice/WTT.

wombatofludham Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 "Old Man Wiles" (cheek, I'm only 10 years older than you...) will have to bring his big stick of persuasion with him next time he's in your area, the one he uses to encourage his scrappies back to work when they sneak off for a nicotine fix. He can be very persuasive... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bescotbeast Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) Here's a blast from the past, my second incarnation of "Pendeford Sidings" that I built in my loft in my old house back when I lived in Derby, it was a roundy roundy on one level and was built very haphazourd with no real planning.

pilkko Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Loving the layout, 08805 is a good choice. I had one done in railfreight too as I use to shunt at washwood Heath yard with this loco from time to time. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time I started at Bescot back in 1999 08805 had long gone, resident "Jockos" were a faded rail blue example 08567 and one in EWS maroon.

bescotbeast Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 Hi Bescot Beast, nice layout. Great period to model and lovely choice of stock. Thanks for popping by Grimley, I agree it's a great period to model that still had some variety in wagons,locos and liveries. Watch this space as I'm still expanding my wagon fleet and constantly looking out for traffic that I could get away with running into and out of Pendeford Wharf.

lmsforever Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Jocko looks a lovely cat similar to one of my many cats,my black and white one Thomas liked to sit beside one of my layouts and lift rolling stock off the track as it came by and also sleep in the sun .He would not move even when bumped into by a class 56 ,just look up yawn and go back to sleep!!!! The layout is looking good looking forward to more developments. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
