Indomitable026 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 That's how I remember St Blazey from the late '60s / early '70s. None of this Modern Image Class 37 stuff...... Shame the show was light years from where I live. Would have liked to have seen DitD very much. Any chance Stubby can arrange for an invite to somewhere down yer??? We love it down there happy to come any time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwealleans Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 First time I've seen this layout and I can see what all the fuss is about. Excellent modelling all round and a pleasure to look at. One of the best things I saw all weekend. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Y Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Yup Copy of IMG_2837.JPG "I'll get you my pretty, you and your little hydraulic too..." The hunched stance is a result of cracking my head on Damian's light pelmet every time, I can still feel it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas G Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Late visitors may have seen some strange apparitions D1s.jpg. If you cover up the left-hand side of this picture, I think the right-hand side really is indistinguishable from a photo of the real thing, especially the way the background blends in.

I did keep telling you to mind you head, admittedly after each bang, but we were counting on some sort of pain avoidance learning happening! Trust me we've all learned the hard way too...

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted August 19, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 19, 2013 SWAG party? Do you eat pasties, Cream Teas and drink beer? hmmm i'm not sure Pasties - that's a definite YES - in fact the Captain has been known to test-drive quite a few before the party, to ensure consistency of quality Cream Teas - not as such but there are plenty of cakes available Beer - the SWAG party has now extended into the Saturday as well, where particiants can partake in travelling on the WSR to Minehead and sampling the refreshments on the train, followed by an evening meal in a local hosterly, where again refreshments may be enjoyed. Are you convinced yet ? Mr. Mind Yer 'ead can probably give chapter and verse on the suitablity of this form of entertainment for non-SWAGGers.

Douglas My baby certainly enjoyed its brief visit. To wind Damian up even more the clock kept going backwards with Kernow MRC's other weathered Westerns locos putting in an appearance. By way of ending such frivolities and to lower Damian's blood pressure here's something more in keeping. 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted August 19, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 19, 2013 Somebody's had one of your wipers, though. It's ok - there are two on the other end, so just use the turntable! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglas G Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 My baby certainly enjoyed its brief visit. D4BW.jpg I think the reason this photo is so convincing is the depth of focus, with the rear wagons still pretty much in focus fading into the slightly more blurred background. I bet the excellent lighting rig on DITD made all the difference when taking it. Douglas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonB Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Being basically a "Steam man", I have extreme difficulty in distinguishing one Diesel class from another, so I was amused to see, fairly early on Saturday morning a small group of 3 people being essentially Train-spotters, commenting on (and noting) the running number of each arrival (as John introduced them via his DCC Gismo), and I heard one say " I'm waiting for number 371* ", as if he needed it to complete the list in his Ian Allen book. (* I have almost certainly mis-remembered the number he was looking for!). Were they checking against the shed allocation list I wonder? - Don't think that they would have noticed either the "Admiral Rodney" pub, or Stubby's caravans! - Isn't people watching fascinating? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
