Benjamin Brady Posted September 16, 2022 Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 We are all set up at Redditch now. Stock is all on but not tested so we shall be there early in the morning to do that. There were a few issues with the joints but that's been rectified so hopefully there won't be to many running issues. We are running a 2010ish theme, west coast mainline we is the normal now. Maybe some east coast stock shall get a run again one day. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Brady Posted September 26, 2022 Author Share Posted September 26, 2022 (edited) Good Evening, A project I've had to do for a long time now. Since the first run of Bachmann Class 90s in fact. I have always wanted to have a go at 90027 and this afternoon I've finally managed to get around to it. This shall be used on the sleeper at Folkestone show this coming weekend.

Benjamin Brady Posted October 2, 2022 Author Share Posted October 2, 2022 Good Morning, We are all set for day 2 at Folkestone now. The layout is behaving itself in its normal fashion. A MK3 off the Wrexham and Shropshire set does not want to run along with a container. Another enjoyable show and a chance to get the layout out. A few more figures have been added and the road has been closed due to an escape of penguin's. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidMcKenzie Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Great photos, the penguins are a nice addition to add some humor/interest. Enjoy the show. All the best, Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Brady Posted October 3, 2022 Author Share Posted October 3, 2022 Morning Dave, The penguins went down surprisingly well at the show and plenty of people were taking photos of them. I'll hopefully upload some more photos this week with the ones I took with the proper camera. Cheers Ben 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Brady Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 Another photo from Folkestone, a visitor who we have seen at a few shows asked if they could run their 444 on the layout and we were happy to oblige. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Brady Posted October 25, 2022 Author Share Posted October 25, 2022 Good Evening, It is time to start making some preparations for the next show which is also our own club show. A busy weekend for sure. Our 3d printing master has offered to print some cars for the car train. The test print focus has turned out well and there shall be a whole batch of them to follow. I think maybe the front windscreen needs a little less blue, but when it is running around the layout it should look okay. The addition of the revolution car wagons makes the car service all the more authentic. There is not a great deal else to do on the layout at the moment. I am sure something shall crop up though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Brady Posted November 4, 2022 Author Share Posted November 4, 2022 (edited) Good Morning, A small project this week to keep myself busy. A test build of a wcml relay room that's being produced by a member at our club and available to buy. This shall be on display at our show over on his stand. https://www.pjmmodels.co.uk/ I've got to say it went together very well, it's the first time I've tackled painting engineering brick and the result was satisfactory. The figures on the other hand were causing me issues but they look acceptable for setting the scene. Original this was meant to go on Weaver Hill where the crossing keepers cottage is now. Maybe it's an excuse for another exhibition layout ;). Edited November 7, 2022 by Benjamin Brady 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Brady Posted November 13, 2022 Author Share Posted November 13, 2022 Good Evening, We are back from an excellent weekend and the layout again had its usual performance issues, they settled a little and the stock ran well. However the joints do need some work and hopefully this works shall be underway with a few boards adjusted for our next show at Bognor Regis. Andy York was there in the morning to take some photos. There were a few additions just little things to bring the layout to life such as some swans on the pond. It was also nice to win the best scenic exhibit at the show. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Brady Posted January 10, 2023 Author Share Posted January 10, 2023 Good Afternoon, It is stock packing day today, the only day I have free until departure on Friday, such a shame work gets in the way. We are looking forward to the weekend away. We were hoping on the arrival of the sleeper mk5s for the show but it might be a no show. The mk3s have been packed to ensure a sleeper service is retained through the weekend. With the hopeful arrival of the Mk5s we shall be running as up to day stock as we can.

Benjamin Brady Posted January 11, 2023 Author Share Posted January 11, 2023 I've had a delivery note from accurascale so it looks like we should have the mk5s for the show. On the workbench I have been working on the cars to fill the car train, hopefully these shall all be complete. I shall carry on painting the windows on these this evening.

Benjamin Brady Posted January 13, 2023 Author Share Posted January 13, 2023 JustGood evening, We are have set up at Bognor now. It shall be an early start as we still have some stock to put on and test but we are getting there now. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Brady Posted January 14, 2023 Author Share Posted January 14, 2023 Good Evening, Day one all done and dusted, the layout again as always ran rough so it's never unusual about it did settle down as the show went on. However there were a few niggles with some of the liners. The sleeper was planned to run with 16 and this was trialed but it's down to 8 and they have ran well after loosening the screws on some of the bogies and of course the odd train split scanario which crops up now and again. We are looking forward to day two tomorrow. The show looked well attended which is good to see 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Brady Posted February 10, 2023 Author Share Posted February 10, 2023 We are nearly all set up at Doncaster now. We were a touch later than planned and only had an hour to set up but we got the majority of the layout up. Tomorrow morning it shall be getting the stock on and tearing. Slightly playing trains feel to the layout this weekend due to some friend's who live local to Doncaster taking over. An ecml feel with a flexible time frame. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
