Andrew P Posted September 9, 2010 Author Share Posted September 9, 2010 Well it been a hectic couple of weeks getting the layout to a finnished state and with the pics having been taken for Railway Modeller I can now relax a bit and start the planing for my next project or projects. I have taken some more pic's as I keep seeing little bits that turn into new shots and the ones of Bob's (BIG BOB) OTA timber wagons and a RES 47 I have just bought for one of my next layouts.

trisonic Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I like this layout a lot. It is well designed and beautifully modelled. It has that undefinable "good feel" to it. Have you a plan for it or did I miss it? Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Now that Glen Roy is all finished, how about something with 3TG 47s & 37s based around the Eastleigh area like it used to be with locos stored up alongside the station...happy days eh, keep up the excellent work and look forward to the next layout very soon (if l know you)..........georgeT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted September 10, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 10, 2010 Umm? Not really my subject - but isn't that a Class 60 in the first pic? In 1985? Not sure.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 The pictures were for inspiration rather that fact, but you were correct the the class 60s were built from 1989 well spotted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you a plan for it or did I miss it? Best, Pete. Hi Pete, Thanks yor your nice comments, the plan is almost what you see in the photos above, the point on the left comes in from the fiddle yard through a cutting, the next is a short head shunt / siding, the straight track is to the goods shed and the one down to the right is the coal sidings.

RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted September 12, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 12, 2010 Good looking layout. Even with a straight forward track plan - there is plenty to keep you busy operating. Very well done. I like the rock work and general scenary. The loaded logs look very good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 Hi been out of action for a few weeks busy with work and other things, but I have also built a 5 road swiveling sector fiddle yard for Glen Roy so it is now ready to exhibit as and when I get invites ! I have also bought a couple of Bachmann units and a 37 and a 66 also a couple of Hornby  60's ready for the next project, Marston or Deesdale Road  but they look quite good on here for now.   Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 Hi All, well I was out at the Great Central Railway the other Saturday and fell in love with the Black 5 ! On the way home Jeff and I called in at one of our local model shops in Gresley and I spotted a second hand Scottish Hornby Black 5 DCC ready as new and boxed. Well I just could not say no and a few hours later it was coaled, crewed, weathered and working one of the last steam services to Glen Roy. Since the photos were taken I have made and fitted some front steam pipes from brass. The other photo is of my 37 now weathered and ready for service although this will run mainly on Deesdale Road and later on it will be used on Marston Sidings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â That's more like it- proper motive power at last - recommended for every Scottish branch line!. There is some seriously good Black V You Tube footage around of the various Great Britain's with Highland Line Black Fives delighting the eye to futher tempt you.

7APT7 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Eastleigh in 1985, just to get you thinking andy (Great days) Hi mate Love the old photos, love to look back at days in Br Blue, I didnt think the Class 60 were as old as 1985... Love the Layout pictures dude, keep them coming... and the real life photos to, they are just as good... after all, its what inspires us to re-creat a layout in the first place, to take us all back to our younger years where Health & Safty was not a big issue. Love it mate. B) Regards Jamie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 Just been getting the 16T minerals weathered and ready for some serious action behind the Black 5. I have also made some cylinder steam pipes for the Black 5. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 Well Glen Roy will have it's first proper outing this Easter weekend at the Gresley and Wychnor Model Railway Groups open days on Sunday and Monday, Church Gresley, just up the hill from the Morrisons store in Swadlincote, South Derbyshire. It will be running BR Blue period and I am looking forward to it very much. I had Deesdale Road there last November as a work in progress so this will be good to run a finished layout and gauge public reaction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 Well I have gone a bit mad lately and topped up my stock box, I have bought some more Blue's for Glen Roy and some green Locos for my new project Marston. I am sorry to say that other work has taken priority over the weathering, crew fitting and pipework of the new stuff but it will all be sorted before the Elizabethan Railway Show at Kirkby in Ashfield in early October (8th & 9th). First up 20028 on a Minerals working out of Glen Roy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new Layout Marston is coming on well and I will post some more shots of that in the next day or so. My room is only 9 ft x 7 ft 6 inches so Glen Roy is down one wall with my work bench underneath. Marston along the other and Deesdale stands up at the end. GOOD JOB I'M ANOREXIC.
