this is a continuation from the old Rmweb, where it was called fowlton-on-sea. so i wont go over the construction methods ect. i have taken some new pictures and playing with the settings on my camera have replicated the poor quality of cheap colour film in the 1980's, so all the pics look like the ones i have that my dad took back then. i have also added some black and white ones. more to follow later.

Hey...I thought they only ever built one Kestrel.!!!!! :rolleyes:

 

Yes, and although they tried hard, they could never find a train that needed all of it's power - they kept on running out of space in sidings and loops when they made the trains longer to see what it could haul. So I wonder quite what it is that needs 8000hp on the front...

the double headed HS4000 train was mine and a one i got for a friend which i was testing, and as they are both chipped, i though, well why not!! consisted together on a dynamis i dont think there was anything they wouldnt pull!

 

the 'abandoned' waerhouse sees two or three trains of vans a week! in need of a new roof now though!

 

more pics to follow when i get the time. still uncertain on the OHL though.
