RTJ Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Model Rail mag is advertising a S&D special in July (2011) including Evercreech, The Pines Express and Midford.. I will be especially interested in the latter as it was my old 'stamping ground, and last year i attempted to model the viaduct, (which I did, but realised I could not fit it all into may garage, so decided to model Wellow instead!) I hope they include the old ex-GWR ("Titfiled Thunderbolt") line as well. BW Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted June 20, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 20, 2011 Sounds like this is one issue to really look forward to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Nevard Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Yes, it does include the GWR line - I wrote it Layouts will be Averton Hammer (huge OO), Evercreech New (huge O) and Cheddar (P4). Actually, does anyone do a 'Lion' kit in 4mil? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Hale Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 There was a Lion kit on EBay, not more than 24hrs ago. Possibly M&L kits. or Aster models Tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Nevard Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Hi Chris, in that case I will buy it! (The magazine). BW Richard Stevens If you haven't bought the mag for a bit, I think you'll like the new clearer less fiddly look. Lots is stuff about making things too. Midford was fun, I originally thought of it as long shelf layout, but then working with Richard Foster over at HQ it became a roundy roundy with functioning GWR line underneath. Obviously there's a bit of compression in OO in that I've suggested just 6 spans for the viaduct, but I don't think the effect is compromised. Another bonus is that most of the non-railway buildings are all still there. I'd really like to build it at some stage, but might just have to build the structures in the mean time. I'm hoping the SDRT would be able to help with station building plans as and when it happens. Samuel - thanks for the Kays link, I thought they were long gone.... Just imagine rails......

bike2steam Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Ah, Averton Hammer, owned by Richard Knott (Luscombe vale) built mostly by Kevin Trim (Dorset Kits). That's reason enough to buy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium tingleytim Posted June 21, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 21, 2011 Went to get Model Rail today. The July edition has a trailer page at the back for the next one, due out it says on 14 August, and its that one that will have all the S&D stuff. Regards. Tim.

Chris Nevard Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 14th of July Averton Hammer is HUGE, it is the 3rd biggest I've snapped with Pendon the biggest, followed by Pete Waterman's Leamington at no.2. There are some lovely scenes on it capturing several well loved parts of the real SDJR. Nice people too! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Brinkly Posted June 22, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 22, 2011 I am looking forward to this issue, I really like the S&D and do fancy a nice big roundy-round one day, even if it wasn't the true S&D in the form of Warmley Station or something similar! Seeing that nearly everything is now available in RTR form there's no excuse really! Regards, Nick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted June 23, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 23, 2011 Warmley Station or something similar Warmley has actually been done, very nicely, in OO, and has been published, I think as a 'Layout that never leaves home' - can't recall the builder, perhaps others can remind us? I've always thought that Mangotsfield would make a super model, don't think that it's been done yet? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's in an old Model Rail and a more recent BRM. Can't remember the chaps name though. He did it in 12ft by 8ft, if memory serves me, copper clad sleepers with SMP for the running lines. I've always thought that Mangotsfield would make a super model, don't think that it's been done yet? Pass on that one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm Mangotsfield - thought of it many times myself (see my Avatar) someone on here is thinking of doing it (don't recall who). The triangular arrangement of the lines maybe a challenge though.
