andyram Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Blue King, Blue Duchess, Blue Tornado sound much better to me. Great looking layout Andy whatever you run on it. As you remember BR blue from the 1970's it is only natural you should head in that direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 So my mates and I managed to get down to Victoria in time to see the 08 bring in the Stock for the 09.30 Service to Portsmouth Harbour, it will be in the hands of Class 50, 50035 Ark Royal today. Back with some more later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Bogie Posted January 2, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 2, 2017 It is not the blue that bothers me nor the lack of steam but those blasted curtains. Only one photo in the last post managed to avoid the curtains. The last one was so close but still you managed to get in a bit of curtain. Do you do it deliberately? By the way the track looks really good. Am a bit concerned that the scenics won't look as good as Pencarne - but then again you will no doubt prove me wrong with your magic. Happy New Year!

Andrew P Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 The 12.22 arrival from Bath Green Park, I was hoping it might be Loco Hauled Stock being as it's a Bank Holiday. And a newly re-painted Western sits in the Loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john flann Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Bogie, why do you insist on looking at the mud instead of the stars? Your references to curtains are unnecessary, tedious and OT. Perhaps we can stick to the point. I trust Andy will forgive me the intrusion on his excellent, enjoyable well documented thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 A nice little running session this afternoon and also some more fitting of Kadee's to the passenger Stock for close coupling. I was going to wire in the Loco Depot, but I got side tracked by a couple of rather LARGE 08's on the other side of the Shed that were crying out for some attention, so they were attended to as well.

Marcus 37 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Loving all the Blue. Andy. Looks absolutely superb and very atmospheric. Its definitely in full swing now. Got a funny feeling this is going to progress nicely in the coming weeks with the track down. Cant wait to see the next instalment. This is going to be a cracker. Cheers Marcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Marcus Thanks Marcus, I hope this one continues as it is, it's progressing slowly but it feels right, I like all the light Engine movements and can't wait to get the Goods yard and Depot wired.

380John Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Things are picking up well Andy nice one! As we are just into the new year, it'll be nice to use the date as a marker and see where you are with the layout this time next year. The variety of stock is great and ticks boxes for a lot of us no matter what era is ones favourite! Keep it up mate! Happy new year, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyram Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 A great series of pics Andy. I definitely think this has more operational potential than Pencarne. I am sure the Scenics will be as good in their own way since this is a very different layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy new year, John Hi John, Thanks for that, hopefully this time next year the Station area will be nearly finished and the Points wired at least, we will have to wait and see.

Yes Andy, a lot more potential for operation than Pencarne, both in Passenger workings and in the Goods yard, plus the added advantage of a lot of light engine movements.

Guest bri.s Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Happy new year Andy The layout looks like it's got a lot of play potential I'll be looking forward to you getting it fully operational and seeing some vids What you doing for a scenic break ,will you be having some bridges or something near the end building (sorry if you've already stated ) Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the good wishes mate, I must admit, when running the 47 and 50 yesterday I turned the volumes right down, I did the same when running the 08's on Beale St as well. The Underlay Ballast gives a far better running than I've ever had before in terms of quietness and smoothness. Off outside shortly (the heater's already on) and may wire in the Depot today.

Andrew P Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 Well the Depot has been wired and I'm well chuffed with it, I've also done the Sidings and Goods Loop, just the Goods Yard to do now, but probably not today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
