Bungus the Fogeyman Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 You're not the only one sticking to the rules Clive..... Top yard is 4'8" by 1'2" with fiddle space at the back. It also obeys Walbys axiom too...........and it probably wont be finished...... Disgusting of Market Harborough 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted June 18, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 18, 2017 (edited) I had to pop out to the manshed, and while in there I checked the ballast, it has stuck down and don't look too bad. It is also the first time I have ballasted a train set without gluing the tie bars on the points solid. :locomotive: :locomotive: :locomotive: Edited June 18, 2017 by Clive Mortimore 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted June 18, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 18, 2017 I like this model railway forum, the modelling, the prototype information that is exchanged and the friendly banter. Wot I dont like is the way certain people like to point out my poor use of English. It is sodding model railway forum not a English laguage forum. I am a better modeller than most of them even if some of them use the pretense of a finescale guage. This is not aimed at those who have contributed to this thread but I have used a thread about my layout to vent my anger. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted July 4, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 4, 2017 Owing to the planned move to our new venture in Lincolnshire happening a couple of days after Lyddrail I am withdrawing the layout to help Mrs M pack. Very sad as I was looking forward to seeing how other people had managed to keep within the rules to build a working layout and those who disregarded them.

sf315 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Hello Clive Understandable that your withdrawing the layout with what you've got to do in the days after. Hopefully we'll see the layout next year at Lyddrail. Hope all does go well with the move and yes we'll miss you at Lyddrail if you don't make it as a visitor.

Lyddrail Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Clive, Very sad news, but good luck with the move. Of course you are invited with the layout to next years show. You can rely on me for an accurate report of how the challenge goes! Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A year later but last night Mr Wade announced that Pig Lane was the best layout at the show. I feel very humbled. Thanks Paul. Any progress Clive? Yes and I will take some photos next week after I get out the car, I have just got home from Lyddrail. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted July 24, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 24, 2018 Morning Clive. For a weird reason I want to call this layout Iggle Piggle Lane.....I must apologise. Ar$£ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted July 24, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 24, 2018 Morning Clive. For a weird reason I want to call this layout Iggle Piggle Lane.....I must apologise. Ar$£ Hi Phil I call it Pig Lane (WR) so I don't call it "Little Pig". The name Pig Lane came from a road that links Sawbridgeworth with Little Hallingbury and was first applied to Southbridge while that was being refurbished. I then ripped up the hand made track and built the real Pig Lane. Pig Lane was always called just "The Pig." Hanging Hill staff halt platform came form Pig Lane and kept its Pig Lane Junction sign so to me was know as "New Pig or Big Pig". Brisbane Road was known as "New New Pig or Little Pig" because when first built I still had HH. Ranelagh Bridge when I started to build it was always known as Ranelagh Bridge, but its track plan was the inspiration for both Southbridge and the Pig. I did start a inglenook type layout called Pig Lane Sidings. I have never referred to either Sheffield Exchange Mk1 or Mk2 as Pig Lane.............................yet.

rob D2 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 It sure how I missed this being a BR blue fan. Deffo makes me think of ranelagh bridge - always wondered how the track was held down in the areas without ballast there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted November 10, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 10, 2018 I am taking this little train set to the Retford Show 17th and 18th November. Now for Wreckrail and Lyddrail it had some paper buildings. These were only temporary, so tonight I have been building the office building, stores and toilets. Hopefully I will have them built and painted by the weekend. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted November 13, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 13, 2018 All buildings have been made. Just need painting. First of 12 push rods for the points is installed. Chocolate brown (Western Region) curtain purchased to hide the rubbish under the layout. Class 47 knocked off the layout....bogie repaired and loco works. Looking forward to a weekend with The Duck at the Retford show. I have even been on the Highway Code website for some traffic signs for the bridge holding up the bus. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
