RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted March 10, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 10, 2016 Evening all, Just finished wheel cleaning and packing up of the layout ready for loading up and heading to Basingstoke tomorrow afternoon for the first gig of the year. Come and say hello if you're visiting, don't be shy, we're a bit thin on the ground for this one so you might get given the controller for bit! 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted March 12, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 12, 2016 Evening all Back home fed and watered after an enjoyable first day where we were apparently a very close second in the 'best layout' judged by Stationmaster from around these parts! Thanks to Paul, Paul and Scott for their company today and looking forward to another good day tomorrow. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitbull1845 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 It was a pleasure to operate Tidworth today and catch up with some of the gang. It was also good to see a few other RMwebbers at the show. The only disappointment was leaving for work at 3. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beresford Junction Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 A couple of shots of the engineering works that took place when Ian left the stand for a few minutes Another enjoyable day out and I don't think I managed to blow anything up today. I'll upload a few more and perhaps even some video if I find any decent footage. Phil 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted March 13, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) Evening all Tidworth is back home and in the conservatory after a very enjoyable weekend at the Basingstoke show, a big thank you to Phil and Paul for today and again to Scott and 'big' Paul for their help on Saturday I hoped you enjoyed it as much as me. I'll wait for Phil's photographic efforts to appear as I took the camera but no pics all weekend! Also thanks to Kevin (Mr Leaford) for the loan of the units and the tank train and I'll drop them off tomorrow night.

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted March 13, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 13, 2016 Yep I enjoyed my brief stint, wouldn't have been much help in the morning though as the snoring would have obscured the sounds Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkAllen Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Evening Wow, what a fantastic layout. Spent yesterday morning watching the comings and goings. Lots of 50 action, right up my street. Should have been 1st prize in my view. Mark 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Great photos. I like the VEAs. Were they almost exclusively for MOD traffic by the late 80s/early 90s? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm putting my money on bald head, wouldn't want to mess with him in a fight bloke... I did indeed stay incognito, however Scott clearly is very perceptive. I had been working nights and had only finished at 0800 Saturday so was feeling rather tired. Next time I'll defiantly say hello. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ess1uk Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Great photos. I like the VEAs. Were they almost exclusively for MOD traffic by the late 80s/early 90s?Everything I've ever read suggests that to be the case.In most pictures I've seen of them they are very well maintained and kept clean too. Guess you don't really want a train full of ammunition failing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satan's Goldfish Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I have seen speedlink videos with the odd VEA in the middle of the rake. Quite whsat they were carrying i couldn't say but there was never any of the usual MoD barrier vehicles each side of them. From what i read once, some VEAs survived in Wagon Load (Speedlink) service due to tight curves in the facilities they were loaded/unloaded at. Moving on, loving the pictures above. The atmosphere this layout gives is always superb. We'll definately have to push to get you booked for a show up this way Ian 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
