RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted March 2, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 2, 2013 Brian produced this little gem from a small jiffy bag last Monday night at DRAG. So he's said that if he can't make it to Taunton, he'll pop the layout in the post to me... Wrapped in its own apron backscene, no doubt! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

multiprinter Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Makes my boxfile layouts look positively huge! Surely you could model the Circle Line in T gauge on a toilet pan? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullie Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Surely you could model the Circle Line in T gauge on a toilet pan? Why not a toilet seat? The layout would then have an operating well and could have a scaled sized operator and panel in the middle for visual effect! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted March 28, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 28, 2013 Surprisingly expensive I think. The REE model seems to have had some quality problems, and Jouef appeared able to steal their market - but at almost 200 euros (say £170) these locos need to be rather good. Few RTR OO 0-6-0s cost that money. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSB Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Planning a model of Meldon Quarry, Brian? Or Southampton Docks, possibly, didn't they have some? I can flog you some British H0 rolling stock (I've gone off this tichy stuff!) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold queensquare Posted March 28, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 28, 2013 They are pestering me to get one of these. Oh most definitely. I think they are rather handsome brutes, just perfect for shuffling round the cobbles of Quai 87 Jerry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted March 29, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 29, 2013 Would that wheelbase get round the Quai's curves ? I think that it could. There's an 0-6-0 fireless loco that is used occasionally. It may even be an 0-8-0, I can't remember! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Harrap Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 Would that wheelbase get round the Quai's curves ? No problem, Stubby, thining flanges works wonders. Can never bring myself to take them off altogether though, brian. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Harrap Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 Like Monty Don, I 'got out there' to tackle some of those jobs for the weekend. One of them has been outstanding for ages and it's the provision of those little fold down flappy platform bits (must be a proper name for them) for the first, second and third floor loading doors on the warehouse over the butterwalk on QUAI:87. A simple enough job although the restraining chain I have used is somewhat heavy, a job for another weekend to replace it with finer. The first floor one I was obliged to model in the 'up' position to prevent it being clouted by the pantograph of the passing tram - guess when I found that out. Never a dull moment on the quays. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Brian Harrap Posted May 5, 2013 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 5, 2013 Such a lovely morning I decided to go for a stroll along under what I call the 'Butterwalk' on QUAI:87. Not a pretty Butterwalk like the local one at Dartmouth but a rather dusty untidy affair under the wharehousey type building seen in the post preceding - along where Superlambanana is living at the moment. Not much railway activity this morning, just one solitary wagon at the far end of the track down by the bufferstops (except there aren't any, better see to that omission) with an old Opel alongside which always seems to be lurking around these parts. I'm quite pleased with this shot as I think it shows rather well where the crossover has been relaid the other way around, or shall I call it where the scissors has been cut out, which it looks more like, and the old ripped up area patched up with Tarmac. Single bladed 'industrial' pointwork is a feature along the quaysides here. The industrial buildings on the far side of the canal are the ones that appear on my backscene apron which turns up railway at shows from time to time. Anyone so inclined can see the real backscene on Google Streetview at 50º43'56.64"N 2º18'09.75E. (pan left). I'll wander back along the other side and see if I can get myself a bag chips - the ones with a big dollop of Belgian mayonnaise - yummy. 22 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
