Indomitable026 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) I'm secretly building up an alternative EM DCC fleet to run when we send you for lunch,,, Wouldn't it look good with a selection of dirty hydraulics? You've used the word secret??? Dirty hydraulics - oooo yes - all those wonderful sounds Perhaps some corporate sponsorship? Hey Andy?

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted November 23, 2011 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 23, 2011 Dirty hydraulics - oooo yes - all those wonderful sounds The sounds of mechanics with hammers, misfires, bits falling off, explosions - smashing stuff 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Personally I never understood Western's fascination with "hydraulics" - some German influence in Swindon, perhaps? But, then you must remember that one of my "favourite" locos was the Brush Type 2.................I used to watch them "zip" by my house in Shenfield from 1958 (including the slightly later lurid paint jobs).

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted November 23, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 23, 2011 Thanks for the excellent pics lads. This is really great for us that couldn't reach the centre of the universe at the weekend. This is one excellent layout. P @ 36E 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best, Pete. Brush Type two's? They were my earliest memories of railways, rail blue examples shunting coal/ grain on the crossing at Louth, which at that point was a freight only branch from Grimsby - a far Cry from the GNR Grimbsy/ Peterborough/ London main line it once was. That said its the other type two's that really do it for me. One of the concepts that is kicking around for a future layout in 'O' gauge is "Mc Rats on the Clyde" which yes, would be full of sulzer type two's, and it would be based on half of Motherwell shed in Green/Blue era...... Lot's of old ex steam buildings with smelly diesels. I'm sure its been done before Edited November 23, 2011 by Indomitable026 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Oh, I'm with you for an O "McRats on the Clyde". People forget the "smell" yet it is the most evocative sense. Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warley was a real struggle with only 3 of us. I've not mentioned to the team that one of the invites we recieved over the weekend was for both the layouts at the same show!!

Perhaps we could have a more 'room 101' approach where some one pulls a lever and the offending item disappears into the ground. This could include layouts, people, food and beer we dont like.

trisonic Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 What like Sweeney Todd? Convert them into pies? Too fatty for my taste..... And yes I have many talents but precognition is not among them - Chris and I posted at exactly the same time....... I do like the idea, though, of jetting into England just to work on a layout, very cool. My personality (let's face it - it's what it is all about) is very sociable, I get on with most without being obsequious although I do tend to take over even very large gatherings......if allowed to.

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted November 24, 2011 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) D, you'll be gutted by the news that Ultrascale are unlikely to be doing EM wheelsets for the Cl22. The 'on axle' pickups don't suit their production methods for spoked wheels. (60989 btw) Edited November 24, 2011 by 2ManySpams Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indomitable026 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Young Mr Spams sent me his like earlier, its a bit of video footage of the layout at Warley courtesy of them chaps at BRM. https://www.model-railways-live.co.uk/Features/Video_Highlights_from_the_2011_Warley_National_Model_Railway_Exhibition/ I'm chuffed to bits we are considered a highlight. Our bits about a quarter of the way in. Enjoy...... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
