A couple of slightly blurry screenshots which I took earlier.

I just liked them.

DMUs and Wayne’s knackered Transit (it’s lucky that they’re full barriers)…

Yard loadings at Waddlemarsh

Some photos of Upbech Drove taken at the recent SWAG exhibition in Taunton. Big thank you to Jamie @SouthernRegionSteam for taking them, really flatter the layout, make it look a lot bigger than it actually is. The layout is EM gauge.

I feel like I’m bombarding this thread this week but it’s just that I took a load of photos the other day!

 

These ones are of a midweek light engine 47 run up to Lapford to pick up some fertiliser traffic bound for Riverside Yard

 

Having run through the station the RfD 47 rolls into the collection siding.

 

Pulls the wagons out and deposits them in the platform before running round:

 

And heading back to Exeter:

(the weather seems to have brightened up in the last one)

Lovely layout captures the area so well

After a days running on the South Lancashire preserved railway, the crew of 45110 coal the loco prior to putting it on the shed for the night.

On loan from the SVR?

Exactly. Being a fictional railway it doesn't have many locos of its own (just a few I like which aren't preserved), so everything that is preserved is on loan.

Ah.... Look forward to seeing 82045 in a year or so

The final section of my layout East Road Goods is now complete. This is the section to the west of the goods yard.

 

 

 

 

 

The goods yard area was completed last week. The goods shed is scratch built and modelled on the buildings that were found at Nairn and Brora on the Far North line.

And very, very good it is too. Nice to see that my Jade Green Mk1 Escort survived all those years. It looks in fine fettle for a 1969 car. 

 

 

Kind regards,

Never say never. Quite unexpectedly in the mid 60's 4 or 5 of these locos from the Western Region turned up at Patricroft    - local to me - including 82000 itself, in plain green, to spend their last days.

Those 3 where the last survivers in storage and then went to I think Cashmores to be cut up - last one cut up in October 1968, I'd have to check my 82xxx documents to confirm

[shedman]

I was brought up on the Central Division of the former LMS, and Stanier designs are my favourite locos. So my layout represents a preserved line somewhere in that territory.

 

Here 42968, 45110 and 48624 line up outside Highfield Shed, South Lancashire Railway, in the early morning at the start of a Gala Day.

A misty morning.

An excursion from the South Coast runs off a pw restriction, passing a Banbury 2800 which has just been given the road with a parcels from the Reading line.
