RMweb Premium TheQ Posted January 3, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 3, 2017 (edited) Ah, off New Drove Road ( or Astor Crescent as some of it became) next to the sports ground, my Great Grandmother moved to one of the bungalows there by the railway, after my Great Grandfather Died and Highfield house became too much for her. I used to deliver leaflets up Astor Crescent (along with most of the village) taking a short cut across the railway, for Fosters supermarket (now the bike shop). OH **** that was 46 years ago.....

Popular Post Beresford Junction Posted January 22, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2017 A few photos of today's fun playing with Tidworth this afternoon in Guildford, and a great chance to catch up with Ian and Kevin (plus grandson) from Leaford. Guess what - since it was Sunday there was quite a bit of engineering work going on..... Thanks to the Astolat team for their hospitality.

RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted January 22, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 22, 2017 Evening all Mr Openreach finally connected us to the outside world this Tuesday so I can now catch up fully with whats been going on around here. Also today Tidworth had its first outing of the year having been stored since the Millbrook show in November. So just a quick thanks to the Astolat team for the show in Guildford and Kevin, Jamie and Phil for their assistance with operating the layout successfully despite the 'springy' floor moving the traverser when you least expected it! One or two bits and pieces to deal with this week before the Southampton show next weekend in Eastleigh. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post Temeraire Posted January 29, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) Evening all Well I'm back, dried out, fed and watered after a very enjoyable weekend at the excellent Southampton Exhibition apart from the loading up in the torrential rain! A big thank you to the Southampton club for their hospitality over the weekend and to my fellow operators Scott, Stuart, Mike, Chris and Phil for their assistance, I hope you had fun too. The show was very busy particularly on Saturday and Tidworth appeared well received, so much so that potential invites were received for Bracknell, Beaconsfield, Andover, Fareham, DEMU, Stafford, Poole and Newcastle that I remember, but I've never given out so many fact sheets at one show! For a change I actually took a few pics myself. There's a few jobs on the layout to be done before WimRail 2017 in Wimborne March 18-19th.

Paul we were talking about making it into a roundy roudy! You mean the projected link but never built, from MSWJR Tidworth branch to LSWR Bulford Branch (about 7 Miles)? Then back via the LSWR to Andover, then MSWJR to Ludgershall and the Tidworth Branch.. Edited January 30, 2017 by TheQ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Revolution Mike B Posted January 30, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 30, 2017 Don't worry.....I'll keep on 'keeping on' until it gets extended by at least another board.........although I may have to commit to buying Ian a van to cart it around in....and learn to drive the trains properly! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
