Minsterley - Modern Image OHLE Layout

Recommended Posts

I was directed to look at this layout by another RMweb fundi, and I have to confess to having just walked into an unprecedented 'domestic' downstairs in consequence :

"Do you realise you've been on that bloody computer THREE WHOLE HOURS ?"  :angry:

 

Anyway I eventually managed to palm the lady off with 'Homelands' with a bottle of Cointreau alongside before sneaking back up to complete the tour..... :imsohappy:

 

I can only add to all the eulogies about the breathtakingly intricate OHLE landscape (is it somewhere north west of Wakefield?) you've created as a setting for running a wonderfully eclectic mix of trains through - with even a hint of NIR units in the offing ! :yes:

 

I enjoyed reading about your planned platform announcements. Our family's firm favourite was the lady who announced at York for years through the 1970s and 80s.- we all loved doing imitations of her.

Eventually, as fellow drama students, my daughter became friends with her daughter - and so we met the famous lady in person.

....and no end of a character she proved to be. :danced: :dancer:

Apologies for the domestic.... excellent 'crisis management' with the Cointeau though...well done!! I find a bottle of Baileys and a box of After Eights always soothes troubled waters!

Glad you enjoyed the thread...a smidgen south of Wakefield ...if truth be known.. :sungum: Yes I've got the sound system up and running and will be on one of the videos I'm 'trying' to sort out asap.

WRT the lady in York, I remember a similar lady announcer in Sheffield in the 70's with a very distinctive voice.

 

Many thanks
