This layout is an abject lesson is how to achieve so much whilst keeping things so very simple. I would venture that this is one of the finest layouts of recent times and one which you should be very proud of indeed. Someone will undoubtebly be all the richer for it's acquisition. Rob.

What you've said is the complete opposite of the sentiments you wish to express. 'Abject' means brought low, miserable, craven, degraded, despicable. I'm sure these are not the sentiments you wish to convey. I know some are very sensitive with regard to having their grammar corrected, but, given that Tom's layout is an absolute object lesson in marvellous modelling, then I think the record should be set straight.

Had I noticed or if someone else pointed it out then yes, it would have been amended therefore you would have been denied the opportunity to illustrate the error quite so overtly. Yes, I could have amended it but you've sought to bring it to everyone's attention. You've made your point. I saw little benefit in amending my post thereafter. We all have knowledge of certain subjects which will be superior to that of others. How that knowledge is imparted is equally as important as the knowledge itself.

You say subject closed, and I respect that. In hindsight, it would have been better to have just sent you a PM. That said, my knowledge of computer procedures is inferior to just about all.

Having a quiet word is just common courtesy, nothing to do with "computer procedures". The bit that is to do with it, is using a PM as an option. Or you could have just posted and said, "Did you mean object rather than abject?" 3 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom F Posted December 14, 2021 Author Share Posted December 14, 2021 (edited) Well, for the moment I think it's time to sign off on this thread. If the sale doesn't happen of the layout I'll do an update. I had hoped there might have been takers on the two bespoke kit/scratch built coaches. I might try ebay, but I don't want them to go for peanuts. Best to keep hold of them into the new year. Thanks for all the support over the last three years. Currently working on my next narrow gauge layout, this time set on the 'Mid Sodor Railway' circa 1937 which I'm hoping to make a start on over the festive break. Have a lovely Christmas everyone.

Pteremy Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 They do not have to go for peanuts on Ebay - you just need to describe them accurately - professionally built, not available RTR, suitable for.... - and price them accordingly. I have no use for non-corridor coaches or I would express an interest. But there will be a market for these coaches. I am sorry that you have had to sell the layout - it seemed to be rooted in a particularly deep emotional attachment for you. Maybe you feel the need to move on. But I hope that all your future ventures are just as successful. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alsop needs some 7-plank mineral wagons and, given the time period I’m modelling, former PO wagons with former owners and new BR numbers are going to be the order of the day. My only worries are whether former coal wagons would’ve been used on limestone traffic and (to a lesser extent) if Welsh wagons would be found in Derbyshire… Edited December 15, 2021 by Tortuga Clarity Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only worries are whether former coal wagons would’ve been used on limestone traffic and (to a lesser extent) if Welsh wagons would be found in Derbyshire… From my research into PO's in the Yorkshire Dales 7 plank PO's were used for limestone traffic where the loading facilities at the quarries could accomodate them. Some used 5 plankers right till the end. Without knowing the layout at the Derbyshire quarries I can't give you a definitive answer but certainly some of them such as the ICI hoppers to Tunstead were at least as high as 7 plankers.

Gave up with DCC if I'm honest. The 009 layouts are all analogue, so the DCC system is something I'm keen to get rid of.
