Merfyn Jones Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 http://www.6g.nwrail.org.uk/alanhaywardpage3.html Peter. Don't know if you have seen the 6G site but these shots including the inside of the shed show a pit . These pictures by Alan have been added recently. The shed was originaly a carrage shed but modified for loco & DMU use when the old steam shed closed , 1966 I think. I did once occupy an office in the shed (cosy and out of the way), before the train crews vacated the amenity block. Merfyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mark C Posted March 5, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 5, 2011 Hi Mark, I have three blue class 47s, they all started out as Bachmanns 47035 which did have the riveted windscreen and class 57 underframe tanks. And yes they all wobbled. The rivets were just filed off, the tanks were modified useing Pennine MCs thread on improving the Bachmann moulding. The wobble was fixed by glueing a bit of plasticard on the chassis each side of the bogie tower as it stops the bogie moving side to side, I only needed to do one end too, so was quite pleased with how it worked. I will take a pic for you as I probably haven't explained it that well. Cheers Peter. Hi Peter Many thanks for that - I'll follow your lead on this, your 47s really are excellent. All the best Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C.M Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 Hi Ian, Thanks, thats some useful info,and I had forgotten about the 2d53 website, it was in my favorites a while back but must have lost it at some point. I have also found my OPC book 'Diesels and electrics on shed' vol 1 Midland region. There are some useful pics showing pits and walkways plus lots of shed clutter. Hopefully I will get out to the garage this week and crack on with the shed area, though it's a bit hot out there today. Hi Merf, I hadn't seen that site before, there are some great pics, it's nice to see the men who worked on the railway too. If you have any pics of around the Llandudno junction feel free to post them on here. Many thanks Cheers Peter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C.M Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 http://www.derbysulzers.com/25insideholyheadshed.jpg All this talk of sheds got me thinking, and yes it did hurt a bit. I was sure I had seen a pic of a class 25 parked out the back of Holyhead shed, I was also sure there were a few other pics of the shed. Well I found the site and in the section where I had seen the class 25 outside the shed was this pic, and look one road has no pit. Yaaay. The Derby Sulzer website has some great pics if you like 24s 25s and Peaks. Some great info aswell on workings etc.B) Cheers Peter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C.M Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Only me, Not much of an update, but more of a reminder to those coming down for a meeting this Saturday. 1.00 onwards chaps. I have actually got the track down and wired up on the loco shed extension, better go and clean some track Llanbourne hasn't been run for a while. Cheers Peter.

P.C.M Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 Thanks Richard, here are a few pics from today and yesterdays meeting. Saturdays meeting went well, thanks to everyone who turned up. Llanbourne ran well only one point played up to start with but was easily fixed, 47418 was the only loco that played up but it was before anyone had arrived, I fixed it today just needed the pickups on one wheelset tweaked. Here are a few pics, Dougs A2 ran very well and is seen leaving the station to get turned. 25904 was keeped busy as station piolet ( 08695 had flat batteries and wouldn't start) 25904 is seen arriving on some ECS, 40012 (97407) spent the day sat on shed. 33010 & 33202 sit with 25059 and 40122 on the holding sidings. 33010 & 33202 worked in on a service from Crewe the reason for the double heading isn't known but makes a nice change. Last of all Met Cam 101 is seen heading off down the branch. Cheers Peter. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougN Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 In deed thanks Peter. IT was a good afternoon. Seems that we all need to do more modelling once and a while. The suggestion of adding alcohol to the event could have ment a few of us lodging for the night. The operations of the layout was very good! (and yes it is my kettle!)

Hey you should be hear by this time next Monday, how is the packing going? if you have any worries just ask. I am ok for wagons but a mag would be good, the latest Railway Modeller has an article on Aberdeen Kirkhill T&RSMD. If I think of any others I will let you know. Now the pic, what are you doing with a Toton shunter? and where up the yard is the pic taken? looks like it could be near the old PAD. The grand-prix was on during the best part of the day as it had been cloudy all day though not cold. Today was nice, sunny all day and high 20s hotter tomorrow then a few showers later in the week.

Merfyn Jones Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Nice to see those shots again Larry. Just to correct , the office/room we had was the one at the side in your shot of the 151 in the bushes. That one at the back was the fitters. Merf.
