Clifford Road Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 20023 & 20154 arrive on the SO 09.20 2D59 from Derby to Llanbourne. Ah! Now your talking!!!! Superb shot ... i can hear them whistling away from here! Yes my pair will be heading down to Springburn for the Christmas break - some BR red tape has stopped the crew training move .... a lot of rubbish if you ask me, just because they've no numbers to identify them! Pah!!! So anyway I gather the works odd-job guy has been sent to B&Q for some stickers and they are to be attached over Christmas, before returning to Clifford Road before New Year hopefully for crew training to recommence!!!! I've not had any issues with buttons as yet on my system and know a couple of people who are Digitrax and they are ok too. The only downside I would say if you look at Digitrax (and it may not be an issue for you anyway) is don't bother with Transponding (where the system can identify which locos are where - with appropriate decoders) .... as it don't work, so numerous people have told me! Don't work is perhaps a little strong - dodgy is better!!! I notice there's no Christmas decorations on Llanbourne .... is that that station porter whose a union guy laying the law down again, or British Health & Safety going on about ladders? lol! Well done anyway, have a great Christmas. All the best Rich Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TangmereTornado Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Wow, what a fantastic layout! Inspiration city for what I have planned. Really looks great, and I love the 'into the sunset' Class 20 picture, looks stunning. Really nice. Look forward to joining the Llanbourne ride for 2011 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimleygrid Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Merry Christmas Peter, love the 20s. I see that Bachmann’s 20090 is not too far away, will Llanbourne be getting one? I can see one ending up inside Boxenby! Have a good one and I look forward to more superb shots from Llanbourne in 2011. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Alex, Llanbourne dosen't really need another class 20 as I still have a Railfreight headcode box and blue disc loco stashed away, though I may get a sound chipped one and do a body swap then sell one on.

P.C.M Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 Happy New Year, all. Finally finished 47515 last night, I was hoping to have 47561 finished as well but it's pretty close, it just needs to be put back together and have a bit of weathering. 47515 is more weathered than 47613 though this dosn't show up that well in the pics. Here is 47515 'Night Mail' shunting a van at Llanbourne. Hi Dave, No signal box from Santa, I am going to build my own. 2011 is going to be the year to do some buildings for Llanbourne. Cheers Peter. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitbull1845 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 A nice splash of colour Peter amongst the blue, The 47 looks good. I also like the sidings in the background, im easily pleased but I like seeing locos stabled awaiting their next turn. Happy New Year Scott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C.M Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 Thanks Scott, I am weathering a post office red TPO at the moment so that should add even more colour. Cheers Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C.M Posted January 2, 2011 Author Share Posted January 2, 2011 Finished the TPO coach today, removing some end steps and patch painting didn't take as long as I thought it might, so I will crack on with the blue grey one now. 47561 is back together and just needs a bit of weathering. I might clean my workbench first though. Here is 47515 on the 3J03 about to depart for Crewe. The pic of 47515 bogies shows a first for me, I added the white wheel slip marks, hard to spot but looks ok I think. Cheers Peter. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRDBLUE17 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Hi Peter, Happy New year to you and family! I had come accross a photo on line whilst searching for a different 47 the other day of Night Mail and then next thing I see your cracking rendition of it looking spot on at Lanbourne. Really like the TPO coach as well. I have mine in out of the box condition on Victory Road at the moment and I will add some photos later in the week when I get another day off. A Blue 31 and a 108 are also in use for good measure! I plan to model a 4 coach TPO for a future layout I am planning based on the Cumbrian Coast although this will take a few years to come to reallity as have far too much to do to get Rannoch finished. The TPO I will model will be the Whitehaven to Huddersfield which use to call at Barrow. I have seen 31's and 47's on this and your train reminded me of this service! Keep up the good work, Thanks, Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
