RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted April 16, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 16, 2022 In preparation for next Orchard Road outing - RMWwb day in Taunton Sun 24th April, I thought that should dig out my two class 03's. These having not been run on the layout for a considerable time. Cleaned the wheels and test run back and forth many times, now happy enough with their running, so will bring these along on Sunday. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDM34046 Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 (edited) Pleasure to meet you today @mudmagnet Great to finally see Orchard Road TMD after spending years following the progress here on RMweb. A beautifully detailed layout, could watch the locomotives trundle around all day! Thank you for showing me a few of your 3D Printed models, I’ll be placing an order once my layout reaches that stage of detailing! They’ll make great additions to my workshop. All the best Luke Edited May 8, 2022 by LDM34046 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted June 25, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 25, 2022 Not a great deal to report, except that I have recently received my Deltic 55018 Ballymoss from Accurascale. I've fitted the pipework to the buffers - simply done by unscrewing the buffer beam to remove and fitting the pipework. Then refitting. I will add a wire loop to one end so that will couple to stock using tension couplings. The loco will be weathered to reflect condition not long before withdrawal from BR metals. Very pleased with the loco, level of detail and sound. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted January 7, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 7, 2023 Wow, such a long tome since any updates on Orchard Road. In truth not a great deal to report. Apart from an additional loco and a change to the loco refueling rig - changed for one of my own 3D printed kits, nothing further has happened. I don't have any exhibition bookings and the layout remains carefully boxed and stored. What does this mean now though? Well, two things - I will be setting the layout up in a couple of weeks time to take a new set of photos for hopefully publishing in a magazine and second, I've been thinking about future modelling plans. I spend quite a bit of time over the last twelve months or so with 3D printing (see my Mudmagnet thread) and a few 0 gauge projects. As a consequence, I've sold and still have a few locos for sale, which then makes me think, what do I want to do with Orchard Road. I still have a number of sound fitted locos and quite a few boxes of rolling stock. So, I'm considering selling Orchard Road ..... 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted January 13, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 13, 2023 As mentioned the other day, I have been considering selling Orchard Road and have now come to a decision to sell on. In part to fund a new project - 0 gauge layout and a couple of other hobbies. I will be selling the complete layout, ready to exhibit with the NCE PowerCab and power supply for the points (DCC operated), lighting rig, front display boards and curtains. I will also include the 5 TTA tank wagons, along with my two Heljan Class 33 and Bachmann Class 47 - all sound fitted. Collection only from North Devon. Packs into a compact unit and fits the back of most medium sized cars. Please message me for more details etc. 1 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted January 21, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 21, 2023 I had an opportunity this morning to erect Orchard Road, where I has some space to work round. I wanted to take some new photos using my new camera (Sony A7iii with 16-35mm lens, then focus stacked). I'm working through these and the first shown below. Also of note is my own 3D printed re-fueling rig and shelter which I am selling through my website. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcf Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Hi Richard, Interested to hear your news about your intention to go down the 0 gauge route, I thought you might succumb to temptation at some point. I will certainly look forward to seeing your progress. Regards Rob 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not deserting 4mm modelling, but for exhibitions (hopefully) will be 0 gauge. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted April 17, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 17, 2023 Orchard Road has now been sold to a guy near Cheltenham and he plans to continue with a few shows. Sold with a few of my locos, so he is well on the way. Consequently, opens up some space in the garage for a new project ..... 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
