Corona not available to us in the North. Only ever saw it once south of the Black Country.

Correct, although sometimes we invoke the Exe.

Thanks for posting,  Mike. 

 

It's very nice  to see Sheep Lane again.  

I've thought , more than once, about going back to the narrow shelves to use as baseboards. 

 

Feel free to post more photos if you wish. 

 

What other motive power pops up? 

 

 

Rob.  

 

Well first off, it has to get the approval of the layout enforcer. Baarbara...

Actually, the official place of designation is Tiverton.

How about a Q1, double Drummonds and a Beattie Well Tank?

 

[NHY 581]

Good to see Mike.

 

A nice selection of proper Western motive power. 

 

Funny you should mention a Q1. I may well dig mine out.

Thanks Mick. It is getting a bit lost on here at present. Not ideal. 

 

Here's a couple of older views of my M7. 

 

These have long been a favourite of mine and Hornby nailed it. 

 

Rob. 

[spiket4]

That M7 looks nice Rob  have sent you a PM

My colleague in Plymouth considers us in Exeter to be in the north.
Another colleague lives in Cheriton Fitzpaine. He doesn't have responsibility for the orange paint pot, but he is the snow warden and has a yellow snow shovel. I said I wouldn't want to shovel yellow snow ...

I am a fan of Hornby's M7 as well. I do have a modelling related question for you, Rob. () Have you found any problems with yours derailing when going over points? I suspect that the answer might be, "No", or you would have mentioned it along the line somewhere. I have an example that fails where others succeed, and your mention of the thing has brought it to mind. I have checked back-to-back and other common causes but this one locomotive's failing has me puzzled.

The M7 looks lovely Rob. Especially the black and white shot

Hi Mick. Are we running bunker first or forwards?

Rob. 

 

Hi Rob, it happens when running forwards. The leading wheels try to go straight on over the common crossing. If it traverses the same point bunker first there is no problem.

 

There was a time when all 3 M7s derailed at the same point, but once I had flattened out the point (it had a raised area around the common crossing) the other 2 behaved themselves. No other locomotives have had a problem at this place, even when it was uneven.
