Derekstuart Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Ah, right. So I should recognise him fairly easily. He will be the one being led away in hand cuffs, given an asbo and a £80 fine for breaching the peace. Well there always is one from each exhibition, so I'm told. After spending the evening with MB last night, he maybe looking like a "killer clown" this morning......................vodka and coke does that to him!

To be entirely prototypical, you probably need some clowns in the streets . Here in Swindon , there are plenty but they don't dress up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derekstuart Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Mick, I know you have already stated this somewhere (I can't find it) but for the benefit of those of us who were called to an work 'emergency' (that was nothing of the sort) 5 minutes after setting off for Peterborough, when is NB next being exhibited, please? Peterborough is one of my favourite exhibitions to visit too. Well and truly pee'd off over missing it. Rant over. EDIT: For spelling error. If my spelling and grammar becomes any worse I will apply for a job with the bbc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bigbee Line Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 First time viewing this layout at Peterborough. I do like this type of urban setting. There was plenty of action. Interestingly a Network Rail 150 was at Norwich the other week. Well done, nice layout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next booked outing is in the east, but very much north of Peterborough. RailexNE in July 2017. There are other shows in the pipeline, but they will be announced when confirmed.

Derekstuart Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 As NB will be 1/4 Century old by the time it is 'retired' it will have reached that point where it really can be classed as iconic. There aren't many layouts that you can stumble across on RMW and instantly recognise it from 2 decades earlier. (Walford Town being another one from that era that is still going strong now- and STILL manages to prove elusive when I try to see it for real).

Derekstuart Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I assume you do know about the EM layout of Walford Town- Worthing MRC if I recall correctly. Another layout that is from a different era but just somehow manages to capture the look just right, the same as NB. BTW are there any photos of NB being run as a BR layout, or did you start from day one with privatisation? I really cannot remember from the original magazine story.

Hi Derek, Yes, I've seen Walford town - very nice. As NB was built in the very early 90s, BR blue was on the way out and much of the stock was sectorisation era with the likes of Regional Railways 31s on "Club" trains to Blackpool and later privatisation with Virgin HSts. We were always (and still are) known for being reasonably current. The early incarnation of NB was also renowned for it's preserved steam traction. But just for you, some BR blue action Photo courtesy of Gareth Bayer - I remember him taking a few photos at the St Neots show. Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted March 22, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 22, 2017 Hi Mick Loving the early photos of NB. Have you got any more and any chance you could put them up to show us newbies? Keep up the good work deltic9014 Unfortunately no digital images. Somewhere, I have copies of the various pictures that appeared in the magazine articles. They are hidden away somewhere amongst my stuff. I'll also have to check about scanning and copyright, but I'm pretty sure that it shouldn't be a problem. It will be a few days though before I can get round to it. NB's next planned outing is to RailexNE in July. Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
