Hampshire Hog Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 Hi Kevin Thanks for the picture update - what's the current state of play with the extension, or has that been removed? Phil Hi Phil, the extension has not really worked out, so the layout will be back as it was although the scenic's will be different. Railfreight Distributions 47 114 hurries a northbound freight through Leaford, including a repaired Car-tic 4 for return to Oxford. 47475 said, "Great to see this layout again. I hope to see more photos posted regularly again". and 7APT7 said, "I agree, love to see more photos again..." Here is another shot of 47 114 (must put detail on the buffer beam) this model started of as Bachmann class 57 I did the oposite of the prototype and turned it into a 47. See you soon, Kevin. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampshire Hog Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 As Phil mentioned above, "what's the current state of play with the extension, or has that been removed?" The answer to that is yes, but has been replaced - the first photo below. Nigels 4CIG arrives at Leaford. See you soon. Kevin. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampshire Hog Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 Shed said, "My favourite layout on RMweb" My thanks to you for that shed, here is a another picture featuring some new stock to Leaford, I hope you like it. Class 59 arrives at Leaford with a Foster Yeoman stone working, the 59 will run around before heading back to Eastleigh and eventually on to the Mendips. Cheerio for now.

7APT7 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 My favourite layout on RMweb Hi Kevin I do agree, it is one of the best on the RMWeb... Love all the photo's you put on here, When and where at is it next due at a show... Jamie 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ess1uk Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Can I ask who makes your wagons? Are the VEAs kits? I'm after more vans and like the look that you have with your MoD trains Cheers 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampshire Hog Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Can I ask who makes your wagons? Are the VEAs kits? I'm after more vans and like the look that you have with your MoD trains Cheers The wagons used on Leaford are from a variety of resources i.e. ready to run, kit built, kit bashed, and modified ready to run. The VEAs are Parkside Dundas Kits. Along with the 21 Tonne hoppers and these Clams and Grampus. These BBA's and BAA's are Cambrian Kits More pictures to follow, you can see these wagons and others as well as the layout at the Warminster Exhibition on the 16th Feb 2013. See you soon.

ess1uk Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Thanks Kevin I thought they would be Parkside kits, I was thinking of having a go at one myself. Great pictures again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampshire Hog Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 Thanks Kevin I thought they would be Parkside kits, I was thinking of having a go at one myself. Great pictures again. My pleasure, to be honest the Parkside Kits go together nicely and I think they are good value as they contain wheels and bearings (or they did, I have not bought any for a while) it is certainly worth a go just take your time and follow the instructions. Some more wagons used on Leaford. A Cambrian SPA fitted with an Appleby hood recoded SEA. An Appleby PXA, It is a great shame that the Appleby range (full kits) are no longer available they were really good although some of their prototypes have now been manufactured by the ready to run boys i.e. Nuclear Flask wagon and Cargowagon Flat, as far as I know some cast bogies and transfers can still be obtained. And finally another Cambrian SPA in its civil engineer variant coded as a ZAA and named Pike. (dont tell him your name?) Regards. Kevin 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitbull1845 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Always a nice variety of wagons at Leaford, Kevin.... Now how about a photo of your developments with the layout? Cheers Scott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted September 24, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 24, 2012 Now how about a photo of your developments with the layout? Cheers Scott The wagons in the last two pics are parked in the new siding. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampshire Hog Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 The wagons in the last two pics are parked in the new siding. Unfortunatelythe new siding is the only bit finished enough to take any photos, and I am not even sure that is final yet! To be honest I am struggling to get it how I want it, I am now on my 3rd try at getting it right. An FY Class 59 eases its train into the yard at Leaford, the wagons are scratch built and belong to Nigel Crow, thanks Nige. See you soon.

pitbull1845 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I recognise that head! Hope you boys enjoyed the rest of the day, wish I could have stayed longer. The little Boys were both asleep by the time we got to Salisbury.. It was good to meet you Peter and put a face to a name and of course catch up, all be it briefly with the usual suspects too... Kevin, not that you need my approval but I do like the additional siding and openess to the yard.Hopefully get to play in the near future.

Cheers Scott Hi Scott, Thanks so much for giving me a lift up to Kevins, it was great to catch up. I will come down to you next time I am over, and see some of your green engines. We did have a good time at Ians, Exford does look great and runs very well. I had a good time shunting locos about the shed area. Ians class 33s and 50s do sound good. Kevins Leaford is superb and looks and runs really well. My 33010 had a quick transplant and was soon running complete with sound and is seen shunting cement in Phils video. Thanks again boys for a great day and hope to catch up when I am over here again. Cheers Peter. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampshire Hog Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 What a day!! It was nice to have a chat with everyone, it was incredible having P.C.M there in the room with us rather than the other side of the world, it was good to meet Peter, equally it was good to meet old friends again it was just like being at an exhibition, my scincere thanks to you all. I was disapointed that I could not continue on to Exford but I am certainly looking forward to our meet on the 26th, in the meantime here is a picture of another Exford taken a long time ago. My best regards. Kevin. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian b Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Wagons are looking good mate! If you're interested I could post a diagram showing where the straps should be on the Salmon- got a copy of the loading manual round here somewhere!
