Iron Horse Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Well they do come down pretty regularly don't they? Often going past my house on a Saturday at the same time as the lunchtime kick-off in the premier league.........hence if I haven't checked they are running I get a "sounds like you missed the Tesco Express!!!" shout from within the house 🤣 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Melangoose Posted December 20, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2023 (edited) When I first started to build Wyvern Road 5 years ago, my main aim was to build a layout that I could run my end of the HST era stock on. So most of my trains were modelled to capture the last few years of this period in time. However I did have a collection of stock based in the sectorisation era, which I could run occasionally and would still look in keeping with the layout. This means that I also had to have a separate collection of vehicles so when a change of era was done the layout looked in keeping with the era. A couple of months back I brought a Bachmann Class 158 in the original Provincial “Express” livery. This was the last train that I needed so I could run WR around the Hereford area with suitable stock. Welcome to Wyvern Road 1990 37711 Tremorfra Steelworks waits in the UP Loop for the Road with a loaded Scrap train 50031 Hood works the Bristol East Yard to Bescot Engineers train. 50031 was displaced from Old Oak Common when the Paddington NSE loco hauled services were replaced by Class 47/4s & 47/7s. The loco was placed in the Western Region’s DCWA Engineers Pool. 56108 heads back towards South Wales with a lengthy rake of HEA wagons A Paddington bound HST restarts from its station stop. The HST accelerates into the journey, it will be a little over 3 hours before it arrives at the Capital. 47600 heads a Speedlink service, these services are on borrowed time as the axe for Speedlink is not far away A Birmingham New Street service passes the closed level crossing Edited December 20, 2023 by Melangoose 19 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Melangoose Posted December 20, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2023 37427 Bonty Bermo heads a Manchester to Cardiff service past the old station cafe. 47555 The Commonwealth Spirit is in charge of the Crewe bound TPO 60020 is just over a year old as it leads a Midlands bound Steel service This Class 108 still displays the “Valley’s Lines” Red Dragon which Cardiff Canton applied to a lot of its trains in the late 1980’s The old and the new. With the Class 158’s now entering squadron service. Which means that the Class 108 is on borrowed time. 47712 Lady Diana Spencer heads a Hereford bound train as 37796 passes with loaded household coal bound for export to Ireland via Merseyside 37796’s progress is spoilt by the Wyvern Road Signaller 23 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRC Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Super stuff. I’m taking a lot of inspiration from your efforts and it is exactly the sort of thing I’m looking to achieve when I start laying track and wiring in a few months time for my 87 - 89 inspired layout. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
