P.C.M Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 And you managed to catch a Colas 70 in there as well. Didn't find any of those on my visit but saw most of them elsewhere on the region including on ballast workings from Eastleigh to the major work sites on the Brighton line. Some nights we got three along the coast each with a 70 at both ends. The track panel train was always a 66 though. The work is to replace Keymer Junction, Haywards Heath tunnel and station area plus the ongoing depot construction at Three Bridges. All a long way from Llanbourne I quite like the class 70s, saw that one at Eastleigh, and managed a pic of one on the Westbury- Eastleigh. A few days before I went out for it a friend of mine saw the same train with 3 class 70s up front. Cheers Peter. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C.M Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 Some more progress. Most of the track is now weathered apart from the oil terminal which I will leave for now as I need to find some pics and work out how to do the pipework for unloading the wagons. Some point levers has been added and old carpet underlay is being used on the grass area. Cheers Peter. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdw7300 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Looking really good Peter. The Rail Express Modeller section in this months (November 2014) Rail Express has a main feature on oil / petro-chemical rail terminals. Quite a few photos of different types of terminal.

Cheers Thanks Sam, I have found a few pics on Flickr. But will download the lastest Rail Express mag. The wife bought an Ipad a few months back and I have been getting Rail Express as it saves me waiting for a copy to come out to Oz. Cheers Peter.

Jintyman Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 The curve is looking good Peter, I take it that the oil unloading is where the tank wagons are placed? I've just put my mitts on Rail No77, February 1988 with a full feature on N Wales freight traffic, some nice pictures too!!! JInty ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C.M Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Thanks Dave and Jinty, I think I have that copy. I has a Peak on the front cover. Yes the oil terminal are the two sidings still to be weathered. 6 wagons in each siding. I down loaded the latest Rail Express last night and it does have a few useful pics, thanks to Sam for letting me know. The pics of the terminal at Fort William are most like what I want to do although my sidings are on a slight curve. Cheers Peter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post P.C.M Posted October 26, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2014 For the past few months I have been working on stock and more recently some scenics on the extension. I didn't go out to the garage on Friday night as I couldn't be bothered Saturday we had friends over but when they had gone I had a quick look on RMweb as you do and decided Sunday was going to be a running session on Llanbourne. After dropping the Daughter off at work I came home and cleaned the track and gave the layout a quick vacuum I removed a few spider webs while I was at it. The fiddleyard had been covered for some time so a bit more time was spent cleaning tracks and removing dead bugs etc. After a nice cup of tea I began to run some trains. I didn't run my timetable but ran a variety of trains. The oil train was used and a few ECS workings to test where I have been ballasting and painting track It was a nice Spring day here so I left the door open. Some of the photos aren't the best as I was playing with the settings as having the door open lets in natural light. Last pic has Murphy AKA 'Concrete Bob' laying in the doorway. Cheers Peter. 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.C.M Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 Peter, what make is the tunnel mouth? Scratchbuilt? Hi Mate, The keystones are cut from a Wills viaduct kit the rest is Wills sheet. There are some pics of it being built on the thread about a year ago. Cheers Peter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C.M Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 Looking brilliant, I bet it's such a great layout to operate David Thanks David, There is plenty to do when operating, It seems to work better when I run the timetable as it's easy to for leave a loco on the blocks or block in a loco on the holding sidings. Cheers Peter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post P.C.M Posted October 27, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2014 Thanks for the comments and likes everyone. A few more pics from the running session. 25109 is on station pilot duites, it gets the job done way quicker than an 08. I might make it a booked working for a spare loco during the busy part of the day. Cheers Peter. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

60091 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) Hi Peter Two more nice sets of photos. Good to 40012 in action. She was the last 40 I saw on a passenger working. Hope you don't mind me including the photo. It's a copy of a 6x4 print so the quality isn't too good. The date is late 1984 and 40012 was attached at York to work through to Scarborough. Can't remember where the train originated... Liverpool or maybe Bangor? Looking again at 40012 on Llanbourne and the photo, it looks like you've got the bodyside grime just about right!

Cheers Alan Thanks for the pic Alan, Any pics of the real thing are welcome. I didn't get to see many class 40s, and I didn't see 012 until she was renumbered as a 97. I copied the weathering from photo's and the one I took at Carlisle in 85. Cheers Peter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
