RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted March 6, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) Morning all You may have seen on the Wimborne show thread that Tidworth has been withdrawn from the show but I thought I'd better post something here and finally remembered this morning! Unfortunately I have been unable to raise an operating team for the weekend so the layout cannot appear I'm afraid, but hopefully I can twist some arms for the Chatham show in June.

nigelb Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Ian just a quick question re the Warflats. Do they not have a end plate that will drop down over the buffers to allow tracked vehicles to pass over ? If not the vehicles would have to enter and exit over the side we used to have both options in Germany was not too bad loading CVR(T)'s but chieftains we a bit hary regards Nigel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The law of sod, I struggled too as Graham invited two other layouts that my crew are involved in and others dropping out meant they've had to go back to their layout leaving me with a skeleton crew. You can always come and have a go with the German stuff for a few hours As to Nigels question on the warflat they have a heavy cast buffer shank and flat tops to the buffers so the big vehicles just drive over them. The smaller stuff is evidently often lifted on or they use the ditching plates carried on some vehicles. Edited March 6, 2017 by PaulRhB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted March 6, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 6, 2017 The landies etc are driven on the side according to a shunter I was talking to but the tracked ones just drive along the train. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted May 30, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) Evening all Today Tidworth was awoken from it's hibernation to check all is well ready for this weekend in Chatham, and set up and run for the first time since Southampton at the end of January. An unusual visitor waits for loading at the head of the silver bullets. If you are visiting Chatham this weekend please make sure you come and say hello to myself and Mike (scoobyra) and new recruit Graham (shanks522).

muddy water Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Great to see this layout at Chatham! This is one of the layouts that looks as good as it does in real life, as on website photos! Top marks! Good luck for when you rebuild the fiddle yard traverser. Might have to scratch make some fertilizer bags for loads! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted June 5, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 5, 2017 Morning all After a very enjoyable weekend Tidworth was loaded up and away by 4.45 and back home at 6.45 so no major problem with the M25! A big thank you to Mike and rookie Graham for their help and company this weekend and also to Grahams brother Stuart who joined us on Sunday. it was good to meet you both and I hope you enjoyed playing with my trains too, and I look forward to the edited highlights at some point. Also thanks to the Chatham team for their hospitality for the weekend. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
