RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted December 12, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 12, 2016 Next show is Bristol O Gauge on 22 January - I've been weathering my 25 - it proved a very popular loco with the team at Thornbury where it appeared very pristine indeed... 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Hi Gilbert, Sorry for the rash of Likes etc. Really simple but with stunning scenic, I love that Canal section, so simple yet so effective.

Newtz1981 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Thanks for the kind words Kenton I don't have too many photos of construction but these should give you a flavour. BS2comp.JPGBS1comp.JPGBS3comp.JPGBS4comp.JPGBS5comp.JPGBS6comp.JPG This layout looks superb with loads of operational potential. What dimensions is the layout? 12ft x 2ft, longer, wider? Do you have a track plan you can share showing the sector plates too? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi - just seen your post - I think I've posted a track plan on the thread - if not I'll PM you. Scenic section is 8' long and under 2' wide - sector plate and fiddle yard (cassettes) are about 2' 6" long Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

two tone green Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Popped over to say hello just as you had finished setting up for the show. Photos realy don't do this lovely layout justice. See you again tomorrow before the masses arrive for another look. Thanks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted January 22, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 22, 2017 We had a great day at Bristol - layout worked well and we were busy all day - I've moved a troublesome uncoupling magnet since Thornbury in November and it's made a big difference to the reliability of the S&W couplings. I had one new (very clean) arrival that had a swift outing at the beginning of the day but we mainly ran LMR stock today. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tove Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Well i`ve finally managed to see Bakewell St. today,and it was better than my expectation`s.It is a really beautifull layout with some nice little scene`s to keep the eye`s wondering around. And it also goes to show what can be done in a small space. I did`nt quite get a chance to say Hello as you were always busy!,but i did take a few pictures..... Cheers, Brian. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Andy It's a JLTRT with Digitrains Loksound sound fitted - it was recently completed as a Christmas project in case anyone should now do an RTR version.....(as I'd never finish it then...)

marc smith Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Had a great day at the Bristol O gauge show on Sunday. I was rather tired, as I'd exhibited in the small Cardiff show the day before, and had a gig to attend on Saturday night! But Bakewell Street made the trip over the Severn more than worth while! I don't know how I managed to miss this superb layout, but glad I've caught up with it now. The layout is even better "in the flesh" and well worth making sure you see.It's small for a 7mm layout, but it somehow looks spacious. Full of atmosphere and some well observed detail. Great design. I could've stood & watched that 25 shunt all day long. Great job Gilbert, and thanks again for those S&W couplings....I've been newly inspired by this layout - now..... anyone wanna buy all my OO and EM stuff?

RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted January 24, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 24, 2017 Thanks Marc - kind words We had a good day and the layout worked well - the 25 is quite addictive - which is why the LNWR signal box has appeared on the layout. We'll run the same period/location at Yate on 4th February - with a 4F and 02 shunter thrown in - and then possibly do a change back to Gloucester area with Hymeks, Panniers and Teddy Bears for at least one day at Cheltenham 1st/2nd April. I do also have a Dapol gronk sitting in it's box as well.... Chris 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
