RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted October 6, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) To add to the information, different coloured strops were used for different sized vehicles. I used microstrip on Cottleston's Scimitars and then got muddled and painted them orange when they should have been red. The vehicles are chocked as well. Someone needs to tell EWS, are these orange and red or weathered? I've got several more photos with Scimitars and Spartans tied with what look to be orange straps, they are off the net but not mine so I can't post here. https://pgmodels.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/06a.jpg Ian, I've emailed you the relevant pics Edited October 6, 2016 by PaulRhB 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces High Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 To add to the information, different coloured strops were used for different sized vehicles. I used microstrip on Cottleston's Scimitars and then got muddled and painted them orange when they should have been red. The vehicles are chocked as well. If you need some more information about military Land Rovers from the 1990s, try the ex military land rover association website. They have information about markings, camouflage and types of Rovers. Cheers, Ben. To add a little more, chains were still in use occasionally by the military in the 90's though, although I'm not sure how much in the UK as my experiences then were Germany based. "Fond" memories of chock and chaining our 43's at Hohne. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post Temeraire Posted October 11, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) Evening all This afternoon the layout has been set up in the conservatory ready for the arrival of a few RMwebbers in the morning to play including the 'King of Llanbourne' PCM himself who has been travelling these parts for a few weeks now. Tidworth looked like this the last time he visited, do you think he'll notice a change?? Also the 'Tidworth Thumper' made it's very first entrance to the layout this afternoon now complete with it's sound chip and final weathering ready for this weekend at Uckfield. The trailer end now awaiting time at the platform. See you in the morning fellas, I've got the biscuits and Paul has cake (naturally!)

Hi Ian, Was a good show and I thoroughly enjoyed playing with Tidworth. I got some pictures on my phone will post them once I have sorted through them, most likely tomorrow as I will be at the club for the show de-brief this evening.

RMweb Gold BlueLightning Posted October 17, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 17, 2016 Well I managed to leave work early today and have managed to get my pictures sorted. Ian if you want the full res versions let me know and I'll send them to you, there is also a few extra images amongst them that I didn't think were much good.

RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted November 4, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 4, 2016 Morning all Well at long last we have had notification that our house purchase is completed and Tidworth and Exford Park have a new home! As of Monday though I will lose internet for a month (thanks Sky & BT Openreach!). So unless you catch up with the gang at the Millbrook show in two weeks time I'll see you on the other side in December I guess. Tomorrow six of us are having an RMwebbers day out on the 'Andover Fist' railtour visiting branches around this area including Ludgershall so almost Tidworth, we're in coach J if you're on it too. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
