RMweb Premium newbryford Posted March 23, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 23, 2014 Looking really nice. Hopefully will be at Ally Pally (3rd time lucky) and get a good look. We'll say hello.....if we can't sneak past..... I counted them out and I've counted them back in again. Luckily no stock has gone missing................ Good to catch up today.

Glorious NSE Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Sorry didn't manage to say Hi, the layout looked great both times I passed by - loved the Osprey rake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Mick lovely to see you again, and the layout too which was a bonus. Really nice to see the locos and trans up close. Last time we were not so up to speed and having learnt a lot since then. Was great to take much more note of the work you do. Was very impressed with the 66 up close. Loved the layout and took a couple of snaps. I'll post them up later. Even though you are sure to others similar. No chance to liberate a loco......lol.....

lmsforever Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Seems as though our hobby is moving on from early coverage by the media to an era of its a sensible hobby to follow and not a geek activity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Whilst at Alexandria Palace, Kal spent a lot of time chatting to Mick / Newbryford, this left me some time to browse, and what better to have a look at than Newbryford the layout, and while there grabbed a couple of pictures rmweb1176Newbryford1 rmweb1177Newbryford2 rmweb1178Newbryford3 rmweb1179Newbryford4 And some very enviable modelling. The locos Mick updates were round the back. I have no idea why I did not grab a picture, seeing as how I was able to have a good close up view. Too busy admiring his work.

TwoTunnelJunction Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 The video was taken by myself , so thanks for sharing it . I have been following this page for a while now, but have never seen the layout itself. So understandable I was very excited to see it for the first time at ally pall. You guys have done a fantastic job with the layout and the stock you run on it. Quite a few locos and wagons that have been added to my wishlist thats for sure!

St. Simon Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Hi, I spent quite a bit of time looking at the layout at Ally Pally, in fact, it was one of the main reasons for making the trek up there! It's a fantastic layout and has given me a lot of inspiration for the next layout. I'll hopefully make it to DEMU Showcase this year, so look forward to seeing it again!

RMweb Premium James Makin Posted March 29, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 29, 2014 Just been catching up with the thread and some lovely pictures here! I remember your Railway Modeller article all those years ago, I must've only been about 12 or 13 at the time, and it left a big impression! Great to see the layout at Ally Pally, some excellent structures and nice atmosphere, definitely gets better with age!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
