trains12 Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 Hopefully by Oct all this bad health will be manageable or a thing of the past. Glad to see you are coming along. Hope the 40th was a good bash. Clearly Wendy is a gem. You guard dogs looks as effective as my two, they are both vying for the best sun through the window - versus most comfortable spot on the floor. Look forward to see you post - only as and when of course - don't push too hard. Hi Jaz Thanks for your kind comments. Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trains12 Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 Hi All Have just been reading a thread on here which states that Class 50's were used up in Scotland around Perth. I have a couple of 50's in my stock so I think I will use on on Glen Gillie/Loch Ince/Bridge of Muir. It would make a change to have a blue engine in stead of all green ones. I don't know if they ever got to around the West side of Scotland, any comments from the members. Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trains12 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Hi All This is a plea for help. One of the operators has dropped out of a show and we need some help to operate Glen Gillie & Loch Inch. The show is the exhibition at Quorn & Woodhouse on the Great Central Railway in association with The Soar Valley Model Railway Club. It is a long show going down on the Thursday the 19th June and coming back on Monday the 23rd June. We have accommodation booked for the four nights. The transport down will be in a van already hired. If any one can help I would be most grateful so just PM me. Thank you Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Nice to hear other members layouts are making a show at exhibitions to Peter, makes sense to give other club members a chance to exhibit there own layouts to. This will be your first outing since your health issues, so hope all goes well, Its harder... I know having chronic end stage health issues myself for the past 15 years what its like to attend these exhibitions that I have done with you over time, its not easy, and tiring with not much energy, as you may find. From a club point of view, you will get more invites I guess, which is good news for you. Jamie Jamie 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trains12 Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 Hi All Well I have made a start on building the point work for the station on Bridge of Muir This section is from the main line into the goods yard side. There will be other point work going of the other side into a wood/timber collecting yard. At each end of the station will be a Y point that splits the track around the central platform which at one end will have the signal box. I have still not made my mind up over access to the platform. A under pass or a footbridge. The main station building may well be the model I made in the 70,s of Kyle of Lochalsh station but cutting it down in length a little.

trains12 Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 You wil enjoy switching to DCC sound Peter!!! Best thing i ever did just bit more of these though £££££ cheers neil.. Hi Neil Am still not fully convinced on the steam sounds. Have over last 12 months been checking most of the steam engine sounds for engines that I have. Some are very good like 8F I heard and Black 5 but heard a 9F and to me it was just awful so still undecided on what to do although they are improving all the time. Diesels I feel are excellent and it will be the diesel fleet that will have the sound fitted first with just a few steamers. At present am relying on Rays help to fit the decoders into the engines and also the operation of them. Its an uphill learning curve after spending the last 50 years just twiddling a knob and putting section switches down, but will get there in the end. I still prefer the building of the layouts and like to leave the operating to all my friends. Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Hi Peter, for Steam sounds I now use Locolines in Essex, Check them out on You Tube, but dont waste your time with the Web Site, they have a good selection and most are 28 Functions, I have the Super D, 3F and 4F. For Diesels I now use Legomanbiffo as recommended by Jamie. Andy P.S. Regards to Wendy and Bertie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
7APT7 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Hi Peter stick to what your are good at and like doing the most... modelling, and leave the dcc side and running of to all your friend to run... that way all of you do what you like to do most.

Jaz Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Glad to see you are well enough to not only continue with the layouts, but consider new stuff - regardless of whether you do or not - it's nice to see you are planning. Shall look forward to seeing more pictures in due course. Hint hint 7APT7......... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunmar Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Peter - forget the ' kettles ' you won't have any problems with sound for those ' bluey's ' - so much to choose from , sounds are really brilliant ! Bill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted April 6, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 6, 2014 Very little in our hobby is as personal in taste as sound. By all means follow others' recommendations for good suppliers, but the only pair of ears that matters is yours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
