That is a fair drive jack, but I'm always open to suggestions and offers, and I am sure it will give hours of pleasure to who ever takes it away.

 

Yes - has been good watching the creation of DL and the learning curve that has evolved Neil.

 

So come on - apart from Millwood what is going your next move? - although I know you are going to be busy somewhat.

Well chaps I think I can go as far as to say without giving away too much at this stage that the new project will be a joint venture between myself and Mason which will be a much larger affair than our previous two efforts.

Maybe a tour up north sometime? - too late for the Blackburn and Acc Show this year then? :D

 

Yes - sounds like an ambitious an extremely interesting venture - hopefully you will both not have too many different opinions on what will be and have a definite set idea of what to work to - not like my method of 2% concept 98% "make up as I go along" - then the bin. :crazy:

Ha ha cheers Andy, I'm kinda shocked too, I thought it would have gone now too, you know your goin to make a nice space for it.

New layout for a new house ha ha :)

 

Neil

 

A well known auction site will be your best bet - shame about their charges but I have never failed to sell one yet (dioramas - about 7 so far) - only one was I disappointed in the return price.

 

Images look great - the last two 08's and Shed internal especially - it will sell no doubt.

Hi all

 

I am happy to announce that Deeping Lane Depot is now SOLD. :pardon: :cry:

The new father of my child is a forum member LNERandBR.

I am confident it has gone to a loving home and im sure it wont be the last we see of it.

 

I have had so much fun building and operating this project and I am very grateful for everyones input, comments, help and advice.

With out the kind help from the members of this forum it would not be what it is today and i would not have been on the learning journey i have been onto.

 

I am very sad to see it go but im glad its going to a good home.

For any exhibition enquires for Deeping Lane Depot you can contact LNERandBR or myself and i can pass the enquiry on.

 

Thanks again everyone

 

Goodbye Deeping Lane Depot

 

Neil

Well as you've seen above I'm the proud new owner of Deeping Lane.

 

It made it's move from South Lincs to near the sea air of Skegness this morning and after the F1 was fitted for it's new legs:

 

post-6845-0-08802000-1340564909_thumb.jpg

 

I have two standard sets of layout legs which are used under my other two layouts. I did find however that Deeping required new holes to be drilled into the legs as it's framework is smaller then what I normally use. However Deeping has thick chipboard tops to it's boards where I usially use thinner plywood.

 

After getting the layout set up I decided to have a little running session.

 

First to arrive on Depot was 47975 'The Institution of Cival Engineers'.

After reciving attention it moved out to be stabled.

37698 'Coedbach' then arrived closely followed by 37670 and 37671 'Tre Pol and Pen'.

47975 then left the depot allowing 37698 to be restabled to allow 37670 and 37671 to move out of the Depot Building.

Deeping is now packed away as I currently haven't the space to set it up indoors. My brother's N gauge layout 'Littlemore' is set up as it and my other layout 'Bostcroft' are booked to appear at the Boston Model Railway exhibition and both need some work doing to them.

Hi Stephen

Firstly it was a pleasure to meet you today and I hope to see you again.

Secondly you have already made a great start as the new owner is Deeping Lane, some great shots there and some very nice stock too, really like the dist 37 pair and the stick is perfect match for what deeping was made for, I can see that the layout has gone to a good home.

Very nice work with the legs too and it's good to see it set up and already taking stock.

 

Well done mate and hope to talk and meet again soon

All three 37's you see in the photo's are fitted with sound.

 

The RfD pair both have Howes Decoders and Coedbach is SWD/Bachmann with a modified speeker setup.

 

The 47 should gain sound in the future as and when funds allow.
