P.C.M Posted December 4, 2022 Author Share Posted December 4, 2022 On 03/12/2022 at 06:35, Grampus said: Peter, many congratulations on the Llanbourne write-up in the January edition of Hornby Magazine. That was a welcome surprise when I was out running errands earlier today. I very much enjoyed reading about the evolution of the layout over time; and your strict adherence to a particular time and place, which places everything in context so effectively. It shouts, 'real railway.' Some fabulous photographs, too, which really show off the scale of your accomplishment. I was pleased to see also that you intend to continue to develop the layout further - I shall look forward to reading more about it in future as it evolves. Best wishes, Paul Hi Paul, Thanks I think the article has come up well. Jonathan Newton took the pictures before leaving Australia to work for Hornby magazine so it's really thanks to him it all happened as he thought it was good enough to put in the mag and Mark Chivers agreed. As with any model railway there is still more to do but it's mainly detailing and a few more buildings. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you catch Tidworth in ModelRail? Thanks Mate, I do have a copy that you gave me some time ago though I think that was railway modeller. So I am guessing not. Which issue was it. I will try and get one. Cheers Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post P.C.M Posted December 14, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2022 A few more pics from a recent running session. The 142 which I remotored a few years back could only just pull itself but I added a big lump of weight in the roof and it can now haul the dummy unit. 25313 works a Trans Pennine service to Bangor due to a shortage of class 45/1s mainly due to the fact I sent my Heljan class 45 back. 34 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 61656 Posted December 14, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 14, 2022 Very much enjoyed the Hornby magazine article and the pictures are fantastic. My son asked if they’d included the one of 97406 to show what the real place looks like! Llanborne was and remains my inspiration for building a layout. 9 years ago when the same sone was days old and not sleeping, I read the first hundred or so pages on RMWeb in the very early hours of the morning. A 40 and 45 were purchased not long after! Great work and my thanks for continuing to inspire us all! Andy 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pleased you liked the article and that Llanbourne serves as some inspiration for you own layout which from what I have seen is getting better every day the new Brick arches certainly are bringing the layout together.

Popular Post P.C.M Posted December 24, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2022 Merry Christmas everyone, thanks for all the likes and comments this year. There has been some progress on the layout this year but not as much as I would have liked. It's the same most years to be honest. It was also great to have the layout in print again too Hornby magazine did a great job. 33 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
