PaulWarb Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Fabulous layout - definitely one of the best modern layouts around. Always enjoy watching it - probably the one I have stayed with the longest at any exhibition. I particularly like all the interest / scenes on the layout but it doesn't look too congested / over busy. Keep up the good work! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Moore Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Excellent work i really like the 67 shot with the cameo of Blackburn in the background. Thats a great layout i look forward to seeing it in the flesh. Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted January 18, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 18, 2012 Work has progressed on club nights over the last few weeks. Quite a few general maintenance/tidying jobs have been the priority. Away from the club, new stock is also in preparation and a few items have already appeared elshwere on RMweb (57301/975025/66720) Here's a quick pic of two more locos in current liveries. Hopefully, they'll be finished (weathered and DCC sound fitted) by Stafford in a couple of weeks or so. Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBE Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 No, he drove a 205. Cheers, Mick And a proper rally car the 205 was too in the day. Bit of a soft spot for the one nine gti's I have to admit. Good choice from Spike. Nice to see some pics of Blackmill again mind. Cav Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
7APT7 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Wow...Got to say, one of the best.... Great, absolutely FAB.... Love the Network rail Loco, HST's, Cl31 and Coaches, Tunnel Light wagon... Love the DRS Class 37's on the Track cleaning... Love all the diorama’s going on all over the layout, under the bridge looks excellent, Speed camera...etc Keep up with the photo updates... Do you have a track Plan... and sizes etc...? Did you make the Tunneling Light wagon and track cleaner yourself....

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted January 19, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 19, 2012 Do you have a track Plan... and sizes etc...? Did you make the Tunneling Light wagon and track cleaner yourself.... Will this layout be attending any show, if so where & When Fab mate Jamie Thanks! See post#6 for trackplan. The whole layout is 48feet long including fiddle yards. The Structure Gauging train is heavily modified r-t-r, with the optical car virtually a scratchbuild on bits of a Bachy VAA chassis - search the forum for Structure Gauging Train or SGT. The rail cleaner is a scratchbuild by Rob Barton - I'm sure he'll add his comments soon. Next exhibitions are Stafford 4/5 Feb, Derby in May, Railex NE in August.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted April 19, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 19, 2012 Over the last few weeks, we've been carrying out basic maintenance to the layout in readiness for a trip to Derby in May. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/51444-derby-2012-exhibition-12-13-may-moorways-sports-centre/ In the next few days, we'll prioritise the tasks for the layout and I'll be trying to do same with my workbench stock projects - of which there are way too many! We've already planned a recce via Peak Forest on the way down and will probably take in the RTC and Toton whilst we're there! Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
