RMweb Premium richierich Posted November 18, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 18, 2016 Look forward to seeing Banbury at Wakefield, which will be in less than 12 hours 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris M Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 This is a great layout. Reasons why I rate it:- 1. Based on a real place. 2. Plenty of movement. 3. Good of variety of trains. 4. The trains in use are plausible. Maybe not 100% accurate to what has been through Banbury in the last ten years or so but certainly within the bounds of possibility. It's a shame that so many other layouts don't do this. I also liked Santa Barbara which again was a very recognisable model of the real thing.

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted November 18, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 18, 2016 Thanks Lawrence for your comments. Most trains are based on what has run through Banbury but it's good to have a little more variety especially with visiting rolling stock provided by our operators. Gives them a chance to run thier stock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgman Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Hi Ian This layout always brings back really fond memories for me. The pictures of the signal boxes ( both of which I've been in ) and the thought of sitting in my blue Mini Cooper parked up on the up bay platform ( I was allowed) with my Ian Allens and notebook. As I probably mentioned at the Barnstaple show, you really have captured the station superbly, thank you. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great hearing various experiences of people who worked at or lived around the station. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted November 20, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 20, 2016 Another great day at the Wakefield show. Now on our journey home so will be quite late by the time we get back and unload. Plenty of people to chat with and a few possible show invites probably for 2018 and beyond. Coincidentally an email landed this weekend for an invite for a show much closer to home in 2017. However a show that thought we were doing, it doesn't look like we are according to their website so need to confirm that before mentioning which one it is. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Steven B Posted November 21, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 21, 2016 It was great seeing Banbury again at Wakefield last weekend. How much (if any?) compression have you used to fit the station within the length of the layout? Happy modelling. Steven B. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted November 21, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 21, 2016 The station platforms have been shortened by around 8 to 10inches each end. The South end throat probably a bit more but the buildings are pretty much to scale. Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted January 14, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) Well, no new modelling here for some time and the first few shows that we thought we had haven't materialised for various reasons.However still quite a few for this year but will hold off mentioning them till they are definitely confirmed. A fair few long distance ones likely.Meanwhile plenty of alternative entertainment to keep us occupied. Edited January 14, 2017 by roundhouse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted March 6, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 6, 2017 First show of the year isn't what we thought we had as had two that didn't / not happening. However I weekend we head West to Nailsea for our first show of the year. A few new locos such as the Gaugemaster special edition Southern livery class 73. This means a lot to a few of us as it's now named after one of our long time friends and operators who spent many an hour operating the layout until his departure from our world in 2015. The N scale loco doesn't yet have the nameplates on it but we are working on that. As far as we are aware this loco hasn't worked through Banbury but there's always a first time. We also have an excellent crew helping. Should be a good weekend. Come say hello if you are visiting. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted March 11, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) We are all set up at the Nailsea show. It's th e first chance to run the new Dapol / Gaugemaster Southern class 73. We just need to obtain nameplates for our late friend who used to help with the layout to name and his loco Graham Stenning Edited March 11, 2017 by roundhouse 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
