bgman Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 1 hour ago, Mallard60022 said: Actually, apart from the ripping up of most of the track and creating a desolate Station site (not unlike it is a present but without forests of undergrowth), with only Stubby's Hut and a Platform 1 + manky building (not yet constructed by said Stubbs as he is sensibly awaiting any progress), I had considered doing something like that. I can get about as far as 1967 but 87 would be really very difficult and I wouldn't have a NSE 50 tucked away anyway. (I do have one of those green livery IKBs (with excellent sound, but with EM wheel sets). Suppose I could do a fantasy era where the whole area survived reasonably well preserved, except perhaps the Branch being a heritage line, including Trams, with the Junction being the heritage HQ and NSE expresses running a full timetable as they should have done, along with steam workings to and from Salisbury and other areas (via Yeovil) and a local service at peak times with additional facilities for P & R. P Oh! For goodness sake ! Take a couple of ya tablits and have a lay down with the kurtains pulled, then dream of the finished layout in all its entirety pleeze. We'll have no more of this sort of talk thank you !!! N.O.T. Beeching 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beeching I don't fully agree, but like you Grahame I do think it is a tad silly to mudle the 80s and keep things as they were. Would look right daft. I think a 1980s Remains of Seaton Junction would look good. And just think Phil, no complication of points in the scenic area with a single track. All the stock in Notwork Southeast livery, cos we all know Devon is in the best part of the country. Class 50s, class 33s, class 47s (in Scotrail livery) and if you extend to the 90s class 158s. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of the station still existing in it's entirety, with a heritage branch and occasional steam specials on the main line, as a light interlude alternative to the general SR 1950's flavour. Now there is an idea...……………………...and thank you dear heart re the building. That really will make me get a grip of my ar$£ and do something constructive. May I indulge you all for a moment? I have forgotten who it is (he don't appear so often these days sadly) that would appear to live near/in Radstock and is of like mind to us mob. I need to contact he urgent like. Thanks.

Yes, things are getting quite bizarre here in Duck Towers and the drugs are failing to cope. I believe, from what I hear on World Service, it is being identified as Brexshiteitis; disturbed sleep, loss of motivation, unable to make rational decisions and the appearance of skin blotches resembling those noted during the Black Death and that is just SWMBO. All I need now is for Bachmann to announce a further series of retooled Bulleid coaches ready for June, including the Dining vehicles, and I shall know that the world as I once knew it has finally begun to decompose.

I've just come back from a week in San Francisco and can confirm that it is indeed a latrine. Not sure that's because it is a sanctuary city though. I've been sporadically over the past 15 years and always loathed the place. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
