dj_crisp Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Hi Just catching up with your thread - great stuff! What did you use to remove the curtains from the 4TC as I have that on my list of things to do and would rather not damage the glazing, cheers Will Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted June 21, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) What did you use to remove the curtains from the 4TC Hi Will thanks for your comments, the curtains were removed carefully! I used EXPO modellers paint remover and applied it sparingly to the curtains only with a small brush a couple of windows at a time. By the time you've applied to the second or third one the first is ready to be removed with a cotton bud. Then wash the glazing with water on another bud. There is a slight ghosting effect from the curtains but by the time I weathered the unit it isn't visible unless you look for it.

cromptonnut Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) You might be interested in this little 'local gem' I captured for the Grateley Trains facebook page from earlier in the week, the first MOD working through from Warminster MOD to Bicester MOD of a GBrF 66 with a selection of empty tank carrying wagons. Not that you need much inspiration, I'm sure https://www.facebook.com/grateleytrains/videos/985004851663960/ I also have plans for a small "filler" module based on the bridge the Ludgershall branch goes over the A303, which is a well known landmark.

RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted July 5, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 5, 2018 Evening all Just a reminder that Tidworth will be at the Beaconsfield Exhibition this Saturday 10.30-17.00 (probably very quiet from 3pm!) Also a fellow RMwebber has uploaded his video of the Romsey show a couple of weeks back and worth a look (Tidworth is at the end from 27.40) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iav-jGBHBFw&lc=z23fwnkp1srywzojv04t1aokgjnxvzsdsugmxeh02wf3rk0h00410.1530560587081348 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinW Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 (edited) Ian, It was good to meet you yesterday, at the Beaconsfield show, and to be able to view the layout up close (and from behind Avon Junction when I wasn't operating or carrying out minor repairs!!)

ColinW Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Hi Colin Good to meet you to yesterday and put a face to the name, and if you’ve ever got a Tidworth size hole at Tonbridge give me a shout. Hi Ian, I will check with our exhibition manager to see if he has your details, and try and persuade him to invite you to Tonbridge. By the way it's good to see Avon Junction in the background of the photo (can a layout photo bomb a picture!!) Colin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post Temeraire Posted September 2, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2018 (edited) Evening all I've been quiet here since the Beaconsfield show in July but this weekend Tidworth ventured up the road to the Andover show for an enjoyable weekend playing trains, with thanks to all that participated. This morning before opening strange things were happening in Tidworth and I managed a few pics! The London train appeared with a Warship at the sharp end? (Sorry forgot to take down the numbers) I heard a strange noise behind me and when I turned around there was a Western on the clay train! Stranger still a Hymek was resting at the fuel point. A few minutes later it appeared some of the Tidworth locos had jumped across to Old Oak Common! A couple of pics of Temeraire sat on the turntable. A scruffy Lion is viewed by a somewhat smaller cat whose name I've forgotten! (Yes it has a name along with two others) Illustrious and Ajax rest in the early morning light. The Hydraulics were courtesy of Steve who was exhibiting "Seven Ash" (Old Oak Common) behind me all weekend, and constantly reminding me that I have pulled Tidworth out of his Taunton show next month, I'll be there in 2020 I promise!! Thanks Steve it was good to meet you, and you might just of tipped me over the edge to buy some of those old diesels like yours, and if you want some 50s on the depot next month let me know.

RMweb Premium ba14eagle Posted September 3, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 3, 2018 Great to see Tidworth again, at the weekend, and many thanks for the crash course in its operation! Good to see the hydraulics get a look in and your locos on OC. Having just ordered an O gauge Western, I wonder how much space I would need to replicate that layout? - definitely one for the garage / garden I think!!

chriscleveland Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 A good weekend on tidworth thank you Ian! A good weekend playing trains a rare opportunity for me to run a layout as I’m still building my own great layout to run. A few photos I got of the layout whilst I was there. 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Iain hope you enjoyed your crash course. I don't think the space will be your biggest issue, did you see how many locos it will take to fill it!

P.C.M Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Hi Ian, Hope you are well. Looks like you had a good exhibition, the layout is looking great. Nice to see some older traction, and your class 50s look very at home sat round the turntable. Steve has done a good job it certainly has that Old Oak feel about it. Cheers Peter.

RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted September 4, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted September 4, 2018 Steve has done a good job it certainly has that Old Oak feel about it. He showed me his pictures of the real thing, it is exactly as it was with regards to track layout etc even down to the three resident cats! Thanks Pete, I hope all is well down-under, are planning a trip over again soon? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Pete, I hope all is well down-under, are planning a trip over again soon? I only ever got round Old Oak the once, but I have some nice pics, though it was sad to see some of the withdrawn 50s outside one of the sheds. I spend a bit of time by the turntable there was about 4 50s and some 47s sat round it. Cheers Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhysb Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Great to be driving the 50's at Tidworth again last weekend. Fun show! I even managed to sneak a few 47's onto the passenger services!
