RMweb Gold 46444 Posted September 5, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 5, 2013 Morning Mike, Don't know how I missed this one, Great stuff and a beautiful period to model. A real backwater line full of atmosphere and character. I guess the Bachmann 3F/4F's are the stars of the of the show like the prototype. I always think the line would have suited the Ivatt 2MT 2-6-0's and as the first five were shedded at Kettering a possible what if. The buildings you have made are great and it' capturing the feel of the prototype nicely. The line as you know was busy during the war years and you have the infamous banana trains from Bristol too. Keep the posts/photos coming. Cheers, Mark 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have come in from the Bedford direction. Bit like you really. I'd love a 2F as well. Kettering had a few they used on the Kettering to Cambridge line. I foresee looking at the tea leaves a Bachmann announcement in 2015! Be nice to see some more shots of Lactodurum-well Towcester Cheers, Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted October 1, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 1, 2013 Really nice layout, nice to see something other than diesels or GWR. Also think that using 16.5mm track is a good idea, keeps all those spam cans away... Stu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeHemmings Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Stu Thanks for the comments and there is no place for spam cans on this layout, I still have a lot more work to do before it will look presentable, baby sitting the grandchildren takes priority over the layout 3 days a week.
