Anyway, so as not to clog up Georges thread, I'll start Mason Street (Goods) in the Layouts Section in a minute or two. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 WOW, Had a great day today at Tait Towers, John M, Ade Stevenson and I ventured through the Fog over the Derbyshire Dales to get to see Grundy St and Ash Lane. The day began as always up there with a Weatherspoons Breakfast, then back to George's for a running session and repairs by me. Then off to Poynton Garden Centre to spend some Modelling Tokens, and then into the Coffee Shop for a nice bit of Victoria Sponge and Latte. Grundy St is so much better than it looks on here and has so much in the way of great scenics and running potential. Ash Lane has a lot to offer in the way of running quality. Cheers George for a great day out. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted March 30, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 30, 2019 Like many layouts, photos do not really do it justice. Even better in real life. I had a fantastic day out. Thanks to Andy for driving and George for his hospitality and letting me play with his layouts. I also came back with some goodies too. Cheers, Ade. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeT Posted May 7, 2019 Author Share Posted May 7, 2019 Progress has been a little slow on 'Grundy Street', (stopped in fact having lost a little of the mojo thingy), but a new arrival in the loco department has cheered me up no end, and that is a filthy Bescot Class 31, painted and weathered by David (Jintyman), the condition is how l remember them all, and David has captured it well, well done that man...... 16 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sb67 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Nice pics George, that 31 does look good, no wonder it cheered you up! I think nicely weathered O gauge locos really look stunning. Steve. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Craig, It needs some tiding up, and re weathering, for example, why would the windows be dirty and the cab front clean? the windows would be the first thing to be cleaned.

georgeT Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 Think l have gone as far as l can with 'Grundy Street' and l really have lost a lot of interest in going any further, there are a lot of problems with track etc, and a lot of work would have to be done to get it into sellable condition, so its going into storage in the shed for now, l have had lots of interest in the buildings, so l might sell it off bit by bit ? 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold MarshLane Posted June 4, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 4, 2019 Sorry to hear that George you seemed to getting on really well until the recent mojo issue. Any plans for what you'll do next - presume your staying with O Gauge ... that 'Dutch 31' looks fantastic ... Jinty has done his usual superb job with that!
