Beresford Junction Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 Evening all, and aplogies to Scott and David for 'fooling' around. I suppose the problem is that it was believable, I mean who would scrap all they had built, saw it up and start again - oh yes me! In the mean time, I've had a delivery of BDAs with steel loads, and have added some strapping made from electrical tape to be pulled by the resident pair of '20s - with someone from the Village People hanging round for some reason.

Beresford Junction Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 Great to see you back on Track again David Wexford Thanks - speaking of track, I had another delivery of track last week which should allow me to lay all the sidings in the fiddle yard now. I also un-boxed the other BDAs this morning at about 6am before setting off for work. Phil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C.M Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Hi Phil, Happy Easter, you had me fooled. I was about to post about you going roundy roundy then noticed the other post. Cheers Peter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beresford Junction Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 Hi Phil, Happy Easter, you had me fooled. I was about to post about you going roundy roundy then noticed the other post. Cheers Peter. Thanks Peter I was actaully thinking of adding a roundy roundy bit too - which is how I got started on my high jinks. So in addition to the double helix, I was debating adding a higher level single track that would just hug the wall for most of the time, with a bridge diagonally over the yard. Perhaps I should finish what I've started first - it's not like I'm short of jobs! Phil 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beresford Junction Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 Now even I'm getting confused what is going on - let me go and check..... (harp tinkling sounds to indicate the passage of time) ... well I can definitely say that the helix is still there ;-) I also spotted that time seems to have moved forwards from the '90s to present day with a new arrival. Not sure if it's just mine, but the 'modules' don't fit that well, and it was a right faff tucking all the wires underneath. Phil 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanks522 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Like the new addition Phil, bought one myself a little while ago and when i opened it the modules wouldn't stay in situ that well, took a little patience but they do seem to click in place then stay where they are. Layout's looking good but finish the helix's before you go for the roundy roundy. Cheers Graham. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beresford Junction - plan c.png Perhaps I should finish what I've started first - it's not like I'm short of jobs! Phil Yes Phil, Maybe finish what you have started. You can always add the high level later. Just keep it in mind while you are doing the lower level. Cheers Peter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beresford Junction Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 Just realised that it's only three weeks until the Mid Hants Diesel Gala - http://www.watercressline.co.uk/product.php/25/diesel-gala which is good news, but then worked out that I'll be having some visitors round to inspect progress, so need to start tidying up.

Beresford Junction Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 Morning all, I've finally ventured down to the dungeon and caught a couple of Sunday morning arrivals. Off back outside to enjoy the sun before it starts snowing again! Phil 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beresford Junction Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 Looking good, that tank wagon is certainly an interesting piece, looks like you've got more bdas than me now, david Thanks David, Yes I've got six BDAs as last count. 4 Railfreight, 1 LoadHaul and 1 BR Bauxite, which obviously is wrong as you always need an odd number (according to Scott anyway). I did fancy a quad set of EWS, but that obviously that would still be an even number. The tanker is from OnTracks http://www.ontracks.co.uk/index.php?page=product&prodID=179020&catID=&fromSearch=true "One of 10 80 Ton Tank wagons used under contract from German firm OnRail. Used mainly to bring Phosphor into the UK to make fire retardant and water treatment compounds." You know me I like something different....

Beresford Junction Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 I noticed today the RF BDAs are only £14 at Hattons! Yes a good price at the moment - I got the current set of four RF ones with the steel loads for £50 - bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beresford Junction Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 Another pre-work visit to the yard this morning to swap over the funny couplings that the tanker came with and replace with some NEM ones - not the best job to do when your fingers haven't quite woken up.
