ess1uk Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Things have been a little stale on KM over the last few weeks, that was until I got out the Blues and Railfreight Stock again that I remember from the late 80's. So I've temporally replaced the Old Goods Yard with a Stabling Point, and will try that for a while and see if it works and gells. Probably that's also why the KM Station area has never been developed as it should have been. Stabling Point 001.JPG Stabling Point 002.JPG Stabling Point 003.JPG Could the goods area be made to be removed? You could have the shed for steam and rationalise for later eras? Is the yard really big enough to warrant a stabiling/fuel point? Wouldn’t the yard be the station car park/a builders merchant by the 80s? Just my thoughts, sure you will make it work whatever you decide, and it will look brilliant as ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your probably right on all counts, but I'll just give it a try and see if it works, I might put a Single Road Servicing Shed there like the one at Didcot. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zomboid Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 With a bit of thought you could probably have interchangable buildings etc to give you a stabling point or a goods yard if you wanted. To me, 20s and 40s don't sound all the different, though I've only really heard a 40 on tickover. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, I have the 40 in the last Video running at a fair lick of Speed, have a listen and see what you think. I have a mate who may want the 20 Chip and he has a Pannier Chip, so we might do a swap, and then with a larger Speaker I can fit it into my O Gauge Pannier and save some pennies.

georgeT Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Morning Buddy, You were talking to me yesterday about moving on most of the green era diesels and steam locos on KM, de-chipping them and getting the redundant chips re-blown to sound up your O gauge venture ? that makes a lot of sense to me, then you will have left most of the locos you remember when we used to spot in the late 80s - 90s which was Blue, Blue LL, RES and Railfreigh TTG, so l would have thought the goods shed would have been well gone by then, l would remove the station altogether in favour of a Railfreight yard, it is something to think about mate as l know you have never really been happy with the station area anyway, as l say mate just an idea.... HAPPY NEW YEAR .... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAPPY NEW YEAR .... Morning George, and Cheers mate, I will be keeping the Steam Locos and a couple of Green Diesels with Sound, the ones that would go, if I decide to go down that route, would be some of the Green Diesels without Sound. I was thinking when we were talking of getting the spare Cl 20 Re Blown, (I have 3 Sound 20's), but since then a mate who has a Pannier Chip and is interested in swapping it for the 20, If we do the swap I would just need to get a bigger Speaker to fit it into the O Gauge Pannier. The Plan is to do a small West Shed type Layout at some point to run the Steam Sound Locos on, as I have about 12 Sound Steam and Green Diesels that I would keep for that. There's not enough room to change the Station into a Yard, and anyway it's on to tight a curve to work well. But I have looked at the possibility of ballasting the New portion of the Fiddle Yard, as a proper Yard as I find I'm doing a lot of work with the 08 Shunting Stock in and out of there, so that's another option for later on maybe. Happy New Year to you and Cath Too. Edited December 30, 2017 by Andrew P 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

60091 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Hi Andy A very Happy New Year to you and your family... Maybe I'm biased, but I think the layout really looks good with the blue (and occasional grey) diesels. Great video and some very nice weathering..

I will be Building another small West Shed style Layout towards the end of 2018, or maybe even before, I have the board, well 4.5ft of it, and it will store under Penybont Sidings, which stores under the Kings Moreton Fiddle Yard, so well and truly sorted mate. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
