RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted February 24, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 24, 2014 Can we have a roster of locomotives on Exford Park please? Regards Jeff Hi Jeff You asked once before, check post 564 on page 23 for what you're after. I have recently updated it so it is the current state of play.

P.C.M Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Hi Pete Unfortunately the running day in May is Saturday 10th and is scheduled to be one of the Slugs I'm afraid, however, that weekend is the Swanage gala and there a couple of 50s in attendance there. Us fellas will probably be making a visit on the Friday if you're over by then? Hi Ian, I don't arrive until Saturday so hope to get to Swanage on the Sunday. Your DMUs look good, I have put some Craftsman DMU vac and multiple working pipes on my units, they look pretty good. Cheers Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroman Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Wonderful work. Which lighting kit was used for the bubble? I really must get mine sorted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted March 4, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 4, 2014 Wonderful work. Which lighting kit was used for the bubble? I really must get mine sorted. Hi Dave This link takes you to the fella I purchased the lighting kits from, although when I bought them they were only head and tail lights but now he seems to have added internal lights too. The kits I bought were only £10 each though. http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Black-Cat-Technology/OO-Gauge-Loco-DMU-lighting-/_i.html?_fsub=992066017 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimleygrid Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Always nice to see some first generation DMU action, I always did like bubbles! Funny isn't it, we used to go out on Anglia rovers travelling around on 101s and 105s, and I have to confess to not being best pleased at the time but would love to go back to those days now!

Satan's Goldfish Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Hi Ian, Changing subject a little, a while ago did I see an italian (FS) 'cargowaggon' in one of the photos of the layout? Had a quick scan through but couldn't see it, but I'm 80/20 sure I saw it on Exford. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted March 18, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 18, 2014 Hi Matt Are you talking about these ones from some time back? These vans are actually on long term loan from Leaford. Blimey! Just realised those pics are 4 years old now! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satan's Goldfish Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I think either Electrotren or Jouef. Quite tempted by these to add to a ferry set. Does that mean HO rather than OO then? If so it doesn't look too noticable although i'm guessing putting them next to OO cargowaggons/vgas isn't advised?! Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Just out of interest I have run them and the Joeff Cargo Wagons with OO VGA / VDA etc and they looked fine IMHO. Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satan's Goldfish Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Out of interest then and appealing the wider rmweb knowledge (sorry Ian, I don't mean to hijack the thread) how do the Roco VTG ferry wagons fair when placed on an OO layout? As much as I'd like the Jouef wagons, the Roco type seem more readily available. But because of the wagon type and already having a Heljan cargowaggon I'm worried the scale difference may ge too noticeable in a 'mixed freight'.

Satan's Goldfish Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Generic UK/Continental wagons questioned moved here for any who may be able to help.

RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted October 20, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 20, 2014 Evening all Its been a while since this was on the first page, but yesterday myself and another two of RMweb's finest actually ran some trains on Exford for the first time in several months! Between us we didn't take any pics at the time but this evening I thought I'd record the first runs of a new item of stock and use it as an excuse to update the thread. A 'thumper' unit appears at Exford Park for the first time in a curious livery of the future! The unit is seen now passing the signal centre. Lastly it is captured pausing at Exford Park station during its extended running in session. The thumper was purchased last week mainly to see use on Tidworth as it is an essential piece of rolling stock for that layout, but unfortunately it seems unlikely to appear in a 3 car guise or NSE so I took the plunge. However, it will be going away to have a centre coach added and be repainted into NSE livery before it makes an appearance at the first exhibition (hopefully). It was a good day just running trains again on Exford after a long time especially as the layout's future is in doubt at the moment. Thanks for a good day Scott & Stu.

Hi Ian Very nice, love the thumper stunning good to see pictures of Exford Park again Will you be doing the works on the thumper? I have a three car 207 on order from Britannia pacific models also in NSE livery as I could not wait any longer for the Bachmann offering Any way look forward to the updates take care Darren NSE DAZ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SparxD428 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Thanks Ian for a top day yesterday. Now at least I know what some buttons on a DCC controller do. The plan book has been opened and pencil sharpened. Just have layout designers block if there is such a thing. DCC for Christmas for me. Cheers, Stu.

kintbury jon Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I'd be interested in knowing how you are going to do the centre car. A 4EPB jroject that never finished involved me using some Replica bodyshells. In hindsight, I think that using cut n shut EPB shells may have been a better idea. A project I will be looking forward to seeing, i'd quite like a thumper but all the liveries released just haven't suited me. Sorry to hear that the layout's future is in doubt. It is a super layout.

RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted December 8, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 8, 2014 Evening all, I thought I'd use the 33 from Campbell Rd running in turn on Exford to get the thread back up. 33029 is seen slowing in front of the Exford Signal Centre after its run to Laira and back. (Okay I put a chip in it and gave it a good run in both directions!) The Crompton is now seen awaiting fuelling at Exford Park before its run back to Eastleigh on Wednesday evening. This may well be the layout's swansong as it is going to have to come out of the loft in the New Year and either be placed into store in the hope of space being available for it again, broken up or maybe sold to a good home if an acceptable offer is received. However, all the stock will be kept and will make appearances on Tidworth once its up and running as an exhibition layout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitbull1845 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 It looks at home in the West country, will be a shame when Exford Park closes. There's only a small re-fuel facility at Tidworth and even less maintenance support facilities.. Looking forward to getting it back. Just need to build the layout now!
