Melangoose Posted March 2 Author Share Posted March 2 With thoughts of the good old days on the Thames loco hauled on these recent pages. I thought that I would trawl through some old pictures to see what I could find (excuse the quality, it was a long time ago). 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Horse Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 @Melangoose Nigel there are some cracking memories amongst all those pictures, thanks for sharing. Have you digitised all you pictures from back then, if you have what did you find was the easiest way of doing them, standard scanner, scan from negative with some software or did you find a better way? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just took a picture on my iphone of the original print. Don’t have time in my life to scan all the pictures that I have. Maybe that’s a job for when I retire or go part time (but that won’t be for another 10 years or so). Edited March 4 by Melangoose 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melangoose Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 Not much to to with Wyvern Road, but yesterday myself and a bunch of RMWebbers set of to have a day chasing the Class 91’s, before they disappear. Kings Cross to Doncaster then back to Peterborough for the afternoon and then back to KGX. Riding 91130 & 91106. It was a fantastic day out and lots of interesting traction to Observe. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now there's an idea. 🤣 I don’t think we did a team photo, which thinking about it is a real shame. The depot at Peterborough is amazing, the letting is so big, unbelievable. Maybe Bachmann will do it as they have done the single DB one, which is about a mile away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melangoose Posted April 8 Author Share Posted April 8 I had a little operating session late last night. Had a little experiment to run all my sector era trains on the layout (x14 trains, just one lap), and to see how long it took me (also had x2 freights stop in the up loop to allow trains to pass). The whole thing took me 19minutes and 5 seconds. Great fun 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
