Andrew P Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 Really good to have you back and enjoying yourself, and able to share it with us. Take it easy, especially with this weather. I've an idea for a new project, partly inspired by your Big layout (but in OO), but it's too cold to be outside doing the woodwork bit. Thanks Tony, by BIG LAYOUT I take it you mean my O Gauge project, Penybont Sidings. Good luck with that and glad you too enjoyed the Videos. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 Nice videos Andy!! Henk. Thanks Henk, Glad you enjoyed them, it's nice to just sit on my Stool and just aim the camera at passing Trains, then set up another one or two. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) Well I've missed the first anniversary by 10 days, it was 17th Feb 2017 that I started this project, it started as Kingsford, North Yard and Depot, as a 17ft x 2.5ft Depot, then changed to Kingsley Dale, next it was Kingsley Road, and finally in June 2017 it became Kings Moreton. A lot has happened since June last year, the MPD (Motive Power Depot,) and Turntable has gone, and been replaced with Fields, the Goods Yard has gone, to be replaced with TMD, (Traction Maintenance Depot), and finally Much Dithering has gone in order to enlarge the Storage capacity, so much has changed, but more importantly I have good running and great operation in a pleasant setting. Were I to start again today, (which I'm not) I would make the Storage capacity much bigger, that is the only thing that now bugs me about KM. So, all in all a good 12 Months work.

RMweb Premium Bogie Posted February 28, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 28, 2018 Users may have experienced a failure of images or attachments uploading, this is a drive space issue and we are working to resolve this. This may require a system restart at some point. System updates during any outage will be found here. Is this your fault with all your videos? (Not to mention your multitude of layouts!)

RMweb Gold lezz01 Posted March 1, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 1, 2018 Hi Andy. Loving the videos mate. I might have to come up your way with my sound equipped locos one of these days. My 28 sounds fab and my 24 hasn't even been run yet, it's one of the Sutton one's and my layouts been down since b4 it arrived. Regards Lez. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzer Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 And now No 38. http://youtu.be/Wc9af4AaDOM If you keep posting this propaganda I'll be brainwashed, kicking and screaming into having a sneaking appreciation for blue diesels ! Seriously it, I can't get enough of them. It's so unusual to see a model of a mainline that runs scale length trains at scale speeds . A great effort. Best wishes for your continued recovery. We have a fantastic hobby to provide motivation and a lot of fun to pick ourselves up in life's difficult times. I am off to the Steam Rehabilitation Centre now, to get de-radicalised. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morning Lez, A couple of friends of mine have the Sutton 24, and it really is amazing, I have the Green Bachy one with Factory Sound and although not as good, it has an amazing Sound and presence when crawling along slowly. It really should have gone, being Green, but I just couldn't bear to part with it now. I would like a SLW in Blue if I can get my hands on one. I've never seen or heard a Cl 28 yet.

I do still have some Steam stuff, the two West Country,s and Std 4 and Std 5, all with Sound a Q1, N Class, B1 and Stanier Mogul, and a Green 33, so might be doing another West Shed type plank one day. I do like the Blues though, and I can run scale length Speedlink and Trip workings and short 6 coach Passenger services. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 (edited) TOPS is off the menu today, there's about a 2ft Snow drift against the door and about 3 to 4 inches on the path, so it's indoors in the warm for me today. I do wish I had room for a Layout indoors as well, but Er indoors might / would kill me if I suggested the idea.

I tend not to have my phone on as I get no/very poor signal. I will switch it on in a while and see if I get a signal. It has stopped snowing here but is very very very cold with the wind coming straight off the North Sea. The local police have said, "Don't drive today".
