Rammy Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I hadn't realised that Blackmill was coming to Derby Mick. I look forward to seeing it and will try to remember to say hello. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been 3 months since it's last outing, so will be good to have a play with the big trainset again. Cheers, Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted May 13, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 13, 2012 Safely home from the East Midlands. More regular maintenance ( three sticking point motors) and addition of a few extra details before venturing to the North East at Railex NE in August.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted July 25, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 25, 2012 Beginning to make Blackmill ready for the trip to Railex NE at Blyth http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/51334-railex-north-east-2012-25th-26th-august/&do=findComment&comment=596840 We've also found out that we're now appearing at our own club show a week later. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/55305-the-lancashire-exhibition-by-blackburn-east-lancs-mrs/ Cheers, Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poindexter Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 No you didn't because we would let you get your yellow stock out ( until 4pm on Sunday!!) I was fortunate enough to see Blackmill at Railex NE and the above comment is true! I was talking to Mick and and he confirmed that he had only brought the Structure Gauging Train along because the boys don't like too much yellow!! But the stock they did bring was outstanding, That combined with probably the best scenics on a modern image layout I've had the pleasure of viewing ment that I spent a stalkerish amount of time in front of it. Here's some of the video I shot, I have one more to add when it's uploaded. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xf6A_STiQBY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpwjlRakYA4 Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted August 28, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 28, 2012 Thanks for the video links Guy - I seldom stand in front of the layout so don't usually see it from the public side! (I know I should, if only to see if we can do things better). Blackmill is out and about again this weekend at the Lancashire show Cheers, Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poindexter Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 One last link. This one is a 10 minute montage of freight and passenger services. There's even a rail tour steamie in there. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitbull1845 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Great vid's of a great layout Guy, nice one. Mick, the scenic side of things is just as interesting as watching the trains going by. Nice attention to detail and it all blends together perfectly. Cheers Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swifty11 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Hi Mick, Do you know the measurementso for blackmill? How long is the viewing area in blackmill as Im working on a track plan for my new layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted September 10, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted September 10, 2012 The whole layout is 48 feet long, the main scenic section is about 24 feet, but there is an additional 8 feet or so in front of one of the fiddle yards.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted September 10, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted September 10, 2012 Didn't you sell your NMT FLYING BANANA Yes, but don't worry, I have all the bits to do a new one! Cheers, Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachmann Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 A lot of very nice scenic touches and colouring on this layout, although the mill built on shallow ground above the tunnel worries me a little. I also like the ultra smooth running of the trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted October 26, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 26, 2012 As usual, there's a last minute item on my workbench on the night before a show. Come and see it at the Merseyside show this weekend. Cheers, Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted October 28, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 28, 2012 As usual, there's a last minute item on my workbench on the night before a show. It's a bit bright and needs toning down. After a successful show at Merseyside, the Blackmill team now has a well- earned rest until York at Easter 2013.
