Hi Ian, That's good news, did you get an invite to Brockenhurst yet? Hope all is well with you, did you manage to save any of Exford? All the best Peter.

Hi Pete No invite from Brokenhurst yet but plenty of time for that, and as for Exford it's still in situ at the moment but I will have to get it out within the next month or so, and plan to store it in the garage for a while before making any final decisions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampshire Hog Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 Paul, many thanks for your company and the excellent photos and videos, you are always welcome, and Pete another Exhibition Layout is always possible but not for a while. I came across a model road vehicle the other day built by my good friend Nigel Leadbetter, it is of an Albion (LAD Cab) surface dressing tanker CLV509K belonging to Colas it having a very distinguished career spraying bitumen all over Britains roads, back in the late 80's early 90's both Nigel and myself were both employees of Colas and we were both fans of the ageing fleet of road vehicles run by them, unfortunately we were both saddened on opening the yard one morning to find an empty space where CLV509K had been parked, it having been stolen over - night, the suspicion was that the vehicle either as a whole or in parts was on its way to Africa. Anyway a couple of pictures of the said model at least a reminder that it did actually exist over 25 years ago. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beresford Junction Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Hi Kevin Model looks great - any pictures of you with the real thing from the '80s ? Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampshire Hog Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 I hav'nt Phil - coz I've never been much of a photographer especially back in those days, Nigel may have though (perhaps taking pictures to help with the build) but thankfully not with me in it, I will ask him.

RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted July 30, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 30, 2015 I popped in for a cuppa at 4pm yesterday and didn't leave until 10.30pm, it's amazing how quick the time goes once you start playing! Unfortunately I didn't take any pics though. Cheers for a great evening Kevin, and the sausage and chips. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampshire Hog Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 Many thanks for your kind words gents, I enjoyed the chat, and the company, and David and Ess1uk if you are ever in my part of the world please call in, but best to pm me first. Anyway more news of the Colas surface dressing tanker Albion (lad cab) CLV 509 K, on talking to Nigel - He does have a couple of pictures (see below) taken before being painted in the full Colas livery after its first transfer to Andover depot, he also believes it originated in the Birmingham area - and the old livery possibly Tilcon? Cheerio for now Kevin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted November 14, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 14, 2015 Looks great Kevin, the older transits look good. I'm currently cutting up an xr3i to put an engine in it, just to be different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampshire Hog Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 Hi Scott, unfortunately I can't make the Christmas do - I have a reunion with some ex colleagues on the same night, typical everything happens on the same day, perhaps we could have a play night with Leaford at some time in the new year when ok for all. and Paul what engine are you fitting in that XRi if you have take it apart to fit it , I look forward to seeing it when its done.

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted November 14, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 14, 2015 The engine will be made from odds and sods of plastic, just enough to look the part with the bonnet up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
