Household Coal waiting for unloading (and some means of unloading) in Leaford depot. And a visitor 50031 Hood waits for fitters attention before returning to Eastleigh. See you in Basingstoke.

RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted February 20, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 20, 2011 Looking forward to it Kevin, have we any details of the set up times etc? Should we try an Rmweb meet again at Leaford?? Not had any modelling time myself for a few weeks now so it will be nice to spend all weekend playing trains, I must get that 37 prepared as well.

pitbull1845 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Today was my practice run for the Basingstoke show (11th and 12th March) I have operated Leaford before but not since the automation has been completed. I have to say its genius, it was a bit weird first off with trains moving and points changing without the human touch but after half an hour of playing practicing I didn't even notice the passenger services coming and going. I was able to concentrate on my favourite part, Shunting wagons. Kevin did give me a intoduction into the world of automation on the laptop and I now know where the STOP button is should it all go wrong if I'm left on my own. Looking forward to the show, I will be there saturday morning and all day Sunday, im the one without the beard and hair. B) So feel free to say hello although I haven't quite mastered talking and concentrating. Its one or the other. Thank goodness for automatic trains! Thanks Kevin Regards Scott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted March 10, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 10, 2011 I had my practice run yesterday afternoon and can report the layout is running well and looking great with its new additional fiddle roads allowing a lot more stock to be accommodated. All those coming to see us please make yourself know to one of us as we all love a chat, and you never know Kevin might even let you play with his toys!

Beresford Junction Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Hi Kevin, Great to see it in real life today - even better than all the photos. Thanks for the advice on using the eye shadow for weathering, although when my wife starts to notice it being used up she might start to worry ;-) Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted March 12, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 12, 2011 Leaford was running well when I popped in on the way to work. Here's some video for those not yet decided to tempt you to go. Leaford 33 & DMU 33 & Warflats 33 and TC 47 and DMU They are working honest 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatC Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Nice videos Paul. Really great to see Leaford at Basingstoke again this morning (I know we had it at Romsey last year but I didn't get the time to have a good long look). The sound coming from the Cromptons (no, you can't have too many of them) was so realistic and took me right abck to the 80s. Magic! Patrick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cracking layout Hi Arnie Did you make yourself known, I wasn't aware you were there? A good day all round for the 'Leaford on the road crew' after some early teething troubles caused by exhibition rustiness! Looking forward to another crack at it tomorrow. If you're an RMwebber please say hello, its great to put faces to the monikers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only sorry I'd just put the camera away when you did your warm up exercises Good job, it's really nice watching it run and between that and Rowlands Castle I was happy and the rest was a bonus. Well worth the journey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitbull1845 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Morning, I'm up and heading for basingstoke shortly (via kevins). Looking forward to another good day. As Ian has said, please say hello and don't worry if we are talking. We are probably only taking the pi$$ out of each other. We do like to have a laugh and enjoy ourselves. Despite the look of concentration on our faces! Cheers Scott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
