I'll keep you all informed. I'm coming up to the Hazel Grove Show at the end of October on the Sunday, whatever date that is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodenhead Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 He's reminiscing about the old through line to the other side of TOPS and the steam locos that used to visit. He said it's not the same anymore with all these blue boxes where there used to be lovely smokey engines. He's also very confused how that 350 remained out of works so long that it's still in black with no chevrons into the 1980s. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My EXCUSE, for 13003 still in Black was that it is for MOD use and the Navy Apprentices have to maintain it, and keep it original. I'm to young to remember Steam, I'm only 69, haha. Watch out after my move, there may be some REAL Steam action appearing then. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmeaden Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Hi Andy, with the exception of the 56 are all your models Heljan ( and Dapol for the 08’s)? The weathering is rather good and they look suitably work weary! Regards DM 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted October 18, 2019 Author Share Posted October 18, 2019 This last few weeks I've been a miserable git, and had no interest in running a lot of Trains or even taking many pics. All of my Modelling materials are Doan Souf, but after a kick up the you know where from my mate Jeff / Binny, I decided to start a small project that can either come with me in the move, or be sold off later. The Project is Cadley Hill, and can be found in the Layouts section or through the link here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
