steve fay Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the tip on the BRIL mag, that's a great story about the woman throwing bottles when a loco was on the blow down siding, I've heard if this before but I didn't know she had ginger hair!! Il have to get a suitable figure painted up with bottle in hand on the balcony of the closest tenement.

steve fay Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 The teddy belongs to Gilbert, ( Chris ) he dropped in some transfers this morning for my Heljan B tank. It looks nice, it would be nice to have one for this and 87D, this is a factory built DJH example and looks very good. Let's hope a RTR manufacturer can be persuaded do do one in due course.

Il do the signal Box and stores the sub station and the large building first. Then move onto the tenements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Donw Posted March 27, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 27, 2015 The Grange is very nice but my memory is more Halls than them. Mind you Reading was on the flat part of the Western. Granges probably had the advantage in the hilly bits. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve fay Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 Just a note to let you all know I'm going to add semi out door extensions either side of the Railway room,( in Coachmans style ) they're not that big just enough to take a DMU. I really want to be able to run things back and forth in front of the layout. I've been toying with the idea for a while. Parcels railcars in the form of GW Flying Bananas and 128's. 121 & 117 passenger DMU's This adds more operational interest. There will be a bit of wrong line running but that doesn't bother me too much. I keep going on the easy build web site and Pete has a few on Leamington and they are very good especially with sound on board. I won't start construction any time soon, maybe in the summer if I can manage it, there's a few more pressing projects to do in the garden first. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
