RMweb Gold BMacdermott Posted April 7 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 7 Hello Gilbert I wonder if we will ever see the 'shortie' stock in RTR. I would love some examples. All part of 'the overall scene'. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted April 7 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted April 7 Well, there are going to be some happy people this morning then, as the next coach behind the BSK is...... a shortie SK. Both of these are the work of Steve@ 31A, who will get the job if I'm ever tempted by more. They are very nice.... 19 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather too niche, I think, and of course they are not G*R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium New Haven Neil Posted April 7 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 7 The second shot of the Mucky Duck shows just how much the Station Road houses have added to the view! I love that sort of shot, (hut in the way etc) as that was how most of mine turned out - and still do! They have a realism that rings true with me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted April 7 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted April 7 Still not enough light. If it doesn't improve tomorrow morning I shall have to switch the lights on. So that there are at least locomotives to look at, here is a high level look at the old engine shed yard. 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted April 8 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted April 8 The rest of the stock behind the B17. All Gresley, CK first.. then an SK... and finally a BCK. Cloudy again, but I will have to take more photos, otherwise I shall run out and there will be a day or more of no PN images. I can't remember the last time that happened. 23 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly I don't think I can repeat this, the River Nene is the other side of the end wall in the neighbour's bedroom. One of the locks just outside Peterborough has a wonderful name "Dog in Doublet Lock". Edited April 8 by Clive Mortimore 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a boat bus or a bus boat? Or a bus bridge - seeing as the doors both reach each side. Edited April 8 by woodenhead 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted April 9 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted April 9 Little light yesterday, but I opened all the blinds and hoped for the best. As soon as I did that a weak sun appeared, enough to make some parts very light, but also to make walls and corners very dark. I did my best. Here is D11 Marne with the early stopper from Grimsby. Immingham had lots of B1s, but even so I bet it was hard pressed to find enough on a Saturday, given all the extras both on the E.Lincs and the old GC main line to Sheffield and Manchester. Marne was a Sheffield Darnall engine by this time, and has been borrowed during a lie over having arrived from there. I am having work done today which entails the unplugging of all my electrical stuff downstairs. I am assured all will be well when it is plugged back in again, but looking at the mass of wires involved I'm not entirely confident. If you don't hear from me for a while, you will know why. 21 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted April 9 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted April 9 As usual, I worried about nothing. The guy knew exactly what he was doing, and there was no problem at all. A head on shot of Marne is the first tonight. It soon moved off, as the Gainsborough Lea Road-KX was due. It appeared behind Doncaster A3 Tagalie. 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted April 10 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted April 10 Back to one image, as I have no time to run trains or take photos till Friday. Today, Timara is here to install my replacement NCE Powerpro, after which we have to reprogramme lots of macros. Tomorrow Steve@31A is visiting and bringing a goodie. Clive will probably be here too, so I must get on with installing the bus detector. Back in 1958, Tagalie is making preparations fot its three minute stop. 24 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted April 10 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted April 10 Timara duly arrived, and installed the new unit. All now works much better. She also reinstalled all the route settings, and in ridiculously short time, really. So that is a good day indeed, though the weather was grey and horrid. Still with 60064 for your photo of the evening. 27 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted April 11 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted April 11 For a while this morning I was very worried. As Steve and I were on our way back from Newark, he found that he had had a call from Clive. It turned out that he had arrived rather early, and my cleaning lady had let him in. Well, I had visions of buses everywhere, as he had enough time to run riot. When we arrived, there he sat with his butter wouldn't melt expression, but denied any wrongdoing. He only had one bus, he said, which was in his pocket. Later he produced that, one which he intends to turn into a Lincoln Corporation Leyland for me, as I remember it from my pre teen days. So, far, I have not discovered any more, and we had a very nice day. Phil is off to Kent, and so couldn't join us. Oh yes, your evening image, which is Tagalie from under the bridge. 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted April 12 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted April 12 Some sunshine is forecast for this morning, so hopefully rationing can cease. Still only one image now though. 61142 is working the 8.59 Grimsby-KX, another train that we see every day of the week. Things will soon start to change though. 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
