Jack00 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 If I was local I would snap it up, but Lincolnshire - Cornwall is a fair drive. The buyer is going to be a very lucky person and I hope they have hours of enjoyment. Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mason Posted June 16, 2012 Author Share Posted June 16, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBE Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 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.

Crisis Rail Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Maybe a tour up north sometime? - too late for the Blackburn and Acc Show this year then? 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.

Crisis Rail Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I thought it was only me that did it that way, ha ha Yes - easily done - usually the 98% bit ends up looking nothing like the original 2% concept bit. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mason Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 Hi all I am happy to announce that Deeping Lane Depot is now SOLD. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LNERandBR Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 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: 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. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mason Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNERandBR Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 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.

mason Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 Now that will add some great atmosphere to the layout with some sound on it, had a couple on before at a show and it just gave that little bit extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
