Popular Post Chris Gilbert1 Posted September 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 13, 2022 A few work in progress shots of the layout going to Stafford Railway Circle Annual Model Railway Exhibition The paint still has a few days to dry. The layout was originally built by Richard New for Graham Causer, but after a house move, it became surplus to requirements. I managed to save it and tart it up a little. 20 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, the Spirit of TVNAM lives on..!! 🤣👍👍 If anything, you're a bit early with that. My understanding was that paint on layouts at TVNAM should still be drying during setting up.... 😉🤪🤪 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcanman Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Great looking layout. Richard New's trackwork and ballasting always looks good. Look forward to seeing more pics with B&A stock on the layout. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Keith Addenbrooke Posted September 16, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) Excellent - could we ask what the dimensions are (it’s all well spaced out). The kind of switching layout it can be a real joy to watch in action. Especially like the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company, Inc. trucks - a nice touch (what could possibly go wrong…) Keith.

I just didn't find it funny - they said it was because I'd never worked in an office why I didn't get it. Good link though for those who are familiar with the US TV version. 👍 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Keith Addenbrooke Posted April 20 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 20 Great to see the layout in action at the Macc show today - the custom decal work was the stand out aspect for me (as in, so good it could easily pass as a real RR name and stock). Apologies for taking up @Chris Gilbert1’s time asking exactly the same question I’d forgotten I asked here eighteen months ago, sorry (but found the explanation really helpful - headshunt for one loco and 50’ car, then two cars to the next switch, three cars and so on, so the switching has a well planned increasing complexity). Very smooth running of course. Excellent, Keith. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold scottystitch Posted May 17 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 17 I've just found this. Excellent work, it all looks fantastic. The Dunder Mifflin reference tickles me also...(that's what she said). Best Scott. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
