Hampshire Hog Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 Many thanks for that Andy, Railroad & Co is still working well thanks to your help and advice on it's first introduction, it has provided me with many hours of enjoyment setting it up - I can even use the Flagman now!! - mind you the bloody computer has nearly been thrown threw the window a few times!! You are always welcome to call in for a cuppa if you are passing through my part of darkest Hampshire. As I have mentioned I always like to show a picture whenever I post so here is another one:- Class 33/2 coupled to a Brittania Pacific NSE Inspection Saloon waits for time to proceed to Leaford Town. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
7APT7 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Hi Kevin Great photos as always bud, nice to see other parts of the layout to in your photos...

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted October 8, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 8, 2014 Hi Kevin Great photos as always bud, nice to see other parts of the layout to in your photos... Do I see a new branch line going off to the right or is it just me not getting my the layout the right way round in my head... Great to see the photos.... Jamie Branchline? No it's the route to the Underworld Off to the rest of the world under the high level station. You leave the yard arriving in Leaford off that line then swing round behind Leaford and climb over the bridge at the end of the sidings swinging into the top station above the yard the train started at, then there's the new port, well it was a port last I heard that is accessed by a line running back across the bridge in the background to a board on top of the old Leaford exhibition fiddleyard. Mind you I haven't been round for a few weeks so there could be more Sorry Kevin I've still not brought the programmer up, give me a buzz when you're back or in the next week as I'm off all next week. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
two tone green Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Hi Kevin, Would love to pop by. Will see what is happening between now and Xmas and try to find a slot to pop down to see what has happened first hand. Good you have mastered flagman, well worth the pain as its a very powerful and useful little thing. Keep up the good work. Regards Andy Jack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampshire Hog Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 And yes Jamie the branch line mentioned above disappears into a hidden fiddle road (or underworld as PaulRhB described) underneath the Leaford Town board, here are a couple of pictures that hopefully may clarify things: 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
7APT7 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Haha Kevin A great rare view of some behind the scene or is that never before scenes on Leaford 1990's NSE... Great photos Kevin... keep up the unseen parts of the layout to mate they are just as interesting as the main layout. Jamie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampshire Hog Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 Ok Jamie, Here is a photo of the other end of the hidden fiddle road as taken previous, it shows the locos that have brought the trains in, uncoupled on the uncoupling ramps, and are now waiting for the loco the other end to take the train out so they can be released to take out their next working. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
7APT7 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Nice one Kevin How many lines below are there and can you store a good length...? Great to see Kevin, is that four locos waiting to be released...? Jamie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampshire Hog Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 Hi Jamie, there are 7 tracks underneath the first two from the left (see photo below) are fitted with block detectors and therefore able to be controlled by the computer although at present only one is controlled in this way, the second photo shows various representations of train lengths as all are different. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
7APT7 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Hi Kevin Cheers for that very interesting to see behind the scenes of what we get to see on the scenic side... Thanks for sharing those with us.... Look forward to seeing your next batch.... Jamie 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampshire Hog Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 Hi owentherail, Sorry for the delay in my response and thank you for your question, the Cartic 4 is a much cut and shut Hornby Cartic 2 suitably loaded with Oxford Diecast Escorts and Capris from the correct era the layout is set in, also as part of the same train I use Oxford Diecast Volkswagen T25 Vans and minibuses again which again are suitable for the same era. A Happy New Year to all. Kevin. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampshire Hog Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 I had reason to rummage around in the loft t'other day looking for some bits and pieces when I came across this leftover from Leaway Park, if I remember correctly it started off with a modified chassis from a Keilcraft / Scankit / Knightwing ? Foden 8 legger Tipper and then fitted with (I think) a Faller / Wiking / Preiser? Lorry Loader and originally it had a Keilcraft / Scankit / Knightwing Mercedes Cab, I have chosen to refurbish it with a later I think Schuco Mercedes Actros/Atego? Cab. Anyway it is delivering concrete blocks for another extension!!! on the new docks area of Leaford, unfortunately its brick grab is missing and having to be unloaded by forklift. Best Regards, Kevin 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitbull1845 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Hi Kevin, I've always said I bet your loft is like an alladins cave. Hope to catch up soon. Scott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
