Agree excellent photos.

 

Although only one thing missing - the electrics!

 

Now what ever happened to 90043 - since my last comment regarding this loco.....................

although i didnt get any pictures of them in operation, Al's 86 grey pair were operating over the weekend. As for 90043 that would be a question for al.

 

Glad you liked the photos. The Flask wagon was scratch built by another warren lane operator mick for me. im really pleased with the results

Echoing above now i've had a chance to llok properly, good photo's and vids Phil!

 

It's ok matt I will show you how to handle a airbrush it's not that scary lol and weathering well you got dans dirty diesels for that and as for the big 18ft gap I am sure you will find something to put in there

I'm managing to dominate spray cans ok, but they do have their limits. And you're right, Dan's Dirty Diesels does provide an excellent weathering service (have you set yourself up a website yet big man to show off your work? ;) )

 

I have some thoughts on the gap but this isn't the place for them. I'm inclined to draw up some rough plans to email to the crew to work out which you feel is the best route to go.

Warren Lane update

 

Before the Basingstoke show I had been working on plans for a new layout.

 

Well that has been shelved for now as we are going to build another version of Warren Lane

 

The stock I had started to build in preperation were all Stratford 47's

 

Luckily they will all fit in Perfectly for the new version.

 

 

Warren Lane Two "The Cockney Rebels Sequal"

 

Container Terminal set in Londons Eastend circa 1982/87 (similar to Ripple lane)

 

Em Gauge

 

So the 47's on the work bench atm are

I have pictures of all the above (even the eth fitted 47/4's)  working container trains into Essex terminals so I can justify them all :-)

Ooh, plenty of "Cockney Sparrer" decals required, Alan!

 

And please, "The Cockney Rebels Sequel"

 

My old pal Robbie Gladwell (aka Dr. Robert) was (is?) in the last iteration of "Cockney Rebel" playing guitar......

 

Best, Pete.

"Container Terminal set in Londons Eastend circa 1982/87", an excellent idea...great period to model too!

 

Looking forward to seeing pairs of BR blue 37s and grey roofed 47s on Freightliners, SF's finest of course!

 

Is this the sort of thing that we can expect to see?

Oh and may be this

Looks the business there Alan!

 

Does this mean your selling some of your modern stock?

 

Yes :-(

 

All the High cube containers and many of the 20's need replacing

 

all the wagons...to be replaced with FFA/FGA

 

But the best bit (sorry Dan) no more 70's 66's 57's :yahoo:

 

But that is after the Hull show.....Make me an offer ;)

You must be so cut up about the change of motive power Al ;) do the new plans still get to rock a little light AC traction or will it be pure diesel?

If you can't hold onto that nice fast line 56 and container flats do let me know! Yeah it will be nice to see the end of the ghastly class 70s! The 66s and 57s, well that's a shame

Devastated

 

The 47's are progressing some are more finished than others.

 

Ely cathedral is the furthest behind.

 

The Br Blue looks better in real life (camera makes it to light)

Freightliner Fleet

 

Diesels Part 1

 

We Have 3 Bachmann class 57 ( 57007 57008 57 011)

 

008 Is one of my favorites Fitted with a Bachmann 8 pin DCC chip, It performs really well. It is great at slow speeds and hasnt let me down

It was one of my first attempts at weathering, and is. Number 1 on the Expo roster.

011 will be joining it at the Stowmarket show, it is in the workshop awaiting a Howes DCC sound chip to be fitted, and weathering

007 is in reserve
