TheFonz1 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I don't see why anyone should be unkind pacer lover it's a great layout ! Besides if you are happy and enjoying it why should it matter what anyone else thinks or says I actually work for Arriva so it's nice to see the livery even if I do have to dispatch them on time!!!! Best Wishes keep up the fantastic work (I am being sincere) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arpleymodeller Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Hi Thats the old Midland Mainline livery which was replaced way back in 2003,it does seem so long ago!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammy Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 does any one remenber midland mainland these days ?lol liveries change so quickly these day and centarl trains class 158/153 combo and a arriva class 150/153 combo:) I know what you mean about the liveries changing. I originally wanted the Midland Mainline 170 but couldn't get one so settled for the Central Trains livery. Now I want the Cross Country livery!

pacer lover Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 hey rammy u saying that wanted a Midland Mainline 170 but got a Central Trains livery and now wanting a Cross Country one reminds me that once i saw a 170 with cross country logos with central trains marking on that look like midland mainline liviy under them how long before the liverys we see to do go btw had a look at your layout . it looks good rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacer lover Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 hey all time for a up date me thinks here are some new pics the frist one, is class 60 on iron ore emptys pasting though the station it reminds me of the old Iron Ore trains between Port Talbot and Llanwern. the second, is of a postman pat lol the thrid, well let just say i forgot it was the end of the line ,oops:( there more new pics on my photopic site. rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNWR lives on Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 The last picture is nearly complete disaster!! From the pictures and track plan I particulary like the way you have utilised the space on the window wall by having the shed building there with the two tracks to it giving some local operational interest as well as the end to end trains you can run. It is a great layout including another tardis, The Doctor seems to be getting around many Model Railways these days!! Regards David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leavesontheline Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I like your Class 57 - quite fancying one of those myself! If you are after some ideas for suitable passenger rolling stock I'm sure that I have recently seen one of these Arriva 57's, top and tailed with either another Arriva 57 or a Virgin liveried 57 (on loan I believe) but with a short train of what looked like Mk2 BR blue/grey coaches (could have been Mk3?). This was in North Somerset. I think its either a Cardiff to Taunton or Cardiff to Paignton service. Saw it another time with some green liveried MK2 or Mk3 coaches. I didn't recognise the colour though. It could have been an older Arriva livery or maybe an older FGW livery. Whichever, I'm sure it must be possible to find something you can run it with?

pacer lover Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 hey guy ta for comments david i was lucky , normaly the buffer-stops would stop the train tho the power still on but this time i was going way too fast then oops lol but it didnt fall off so all ok also i got a dalek ( a pencil end toy) for him to fight some where it on a 1 year loan from my little sis from about 5 years ago so got to hide him from her leavesonline yep it a great model ta for the ideas may try them as have got some mk2s in old fgw , virgin, intercity n blue n gery, so could top n tail them with my fgw 57 or ews 67 or could just runing with any thing i want - see below it could happen lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
