RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted September 5, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 5, 2012 Those palm trees certainly look the business and as mentioned they have to be one of the ultimate signature items for stations in the Duchy As well as, of course, T9s, N Class and Spam Cans... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterbournecm Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 Hm indeed - maybe a running session with your locos may be a possiblilty - provided they're not chipped. Oh and bring some coaches unless you dont mind blue & grey coaches in tow (perish the thought)!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterbournecm Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 I have been toiling away making up the brass frets from Scale link into reeds, creepers and saplings to give the rock areas some vegetation and density. It's painstaking stuff, but the results are worth it. Heres the bank with a Sunday morning engineering trip pottering around with 25087 and a couple of dogfish. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterbournecm Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 A layout running evening saw from visitors in the shape of a 2012 class 22 from Dapol in weathered blue, and a Hornby trainset class 37130 from 1976! Both gave good account of themselves - the 37 the noisiest and smelliest! Nothing like the smell of an old loco getting an airing, especially with a touch of gun oil on the cogs!! Heres the class 22 passing Tregrehan harbour with some vans. And passing the panel at Sandy Hill 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterbournecm Posted December 8, 2012 Author Share Posted December 8, 2012 The Christmas programme has some cable relaying in store it seems, and the yard at Sandy Hill panel is locked up to keep the local undesirables out! 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcyg Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Have been masking and hand painting and renumbering blue & grey rolling stock. Quite enjoy giving Airfix and Lima stock a refresh, so that look OK next to today's excellent Bachmann products. Here is the refreshed postal set which includes a Dapol special edition postal van. postal 020.jpg postal 007.jpg postal 014.jpg Hi, could you give more details about these vans? They look interesting, and I can't find any reference to a Dapol van The layout looks amazing, wish I had that much space! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi there Yes the postal vans were 5 x Lima BGs my father converted in the 1980s having studied the vans at Penzance. The are a fair representation of the postal coaches in use at that trime. The postal van is from Bachmann when Modelzone did a run of them. Sorry about the Dapol reference. The layout covers the entire garage 17ft x 9ft. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterbournecm Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 I been harking back to my younger days of layouts and railway clubs. I've become a little tired of the air braked, fixed rake freight era. Tempted and surrendering to buying some lovely blue hydraulics, I have had a good day at Westpoint & Newton Abbot racecourse buying wagons from the 70s. How they have improved from years ago. The wren wagons that dad had from years ago, milk tanks, vent vans are pretty bullet proof. But I brought a super selection of Dapol, Bachmann 4 wheelers yesterday, including sand tipplers, open and covered vans to entertain my "fleet" of oil sloshers which now consists of D804, D812, D6328, D7035 and D1021. A Dapol 1005 is due to join the fleet soon. I fear some of my blue diesels may soon gain Dxxxx numberes and headcode blinds. I have enough mark 1s in blue to run a good service. It may seem odd to some. But there was a real delight sending the wagons off round the layout last night with a weathered blue Hymek on the front, and it was fab to see the various mixture of wagons dance by the viaduct and power through Sandy Hill. Birthday follws on Wednesday, when the wonderful D6238 gets unveiled. Some pictures to follow to emulate those brilliant pictures of locos shunting Truro yard on the CRS website. http://www.cornwallrailwaysociety.org.uk/cornwall-railway-gallery---2-main-line-scorrier-to-plymouth.html 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterbournecm Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 Hey - thanks Chris. Feeling quite old today! As I'm on early shift at Goonbarrow in the sunshine, I havent opened my cards or goodies yet. The prime present being in a Dapol box with spoked wheels. Will upload some on shed pictures later. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterbournecm Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 Come on chap, let's have some photos of the Dapol pressie. Oh go on then. I have worked most days, 12 hours so havent set the headcodes yet or added the body side panels. have purchased some Precision label headcodes so some Diesel Electrics are likely to get headcode blinds soon! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterbournecm Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 Thanks chaps. I've bloomin worked every day and been 12s some days plus had rehearsals for Calamity Jane which I'm playing Francis Fryer in! so the class 22 hasnt turned a wheel yet. It is a super little model though. The recent wagon purchases give it something to run with too, which clay wagons would suit the 1970/2 period best? The Precision lable headcodes came yesterday, so I'm sorting which locos in the fleet are going back in time. A couple of class 25s, I'll get donor locos from the Bradford Barton books, a couple of class 47s, and some class 45s. I may even retro 50018 to being nameless and the BR arrows in the middle of the loco sides as it came to Cornwall in the mid 70s. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
