RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted March 13, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) Thanks Gary.It's now finding some one who has time to do them as tried the usual sources. I may just print them myself for now.One of the last trains of the show that we decided to run at the show over the weekend was a railtour with 73202 at the head. Quite fitting as it was the same day the Farewell to 442s railtour on Southern for which this loco was kept to move in emergencies.We had a good weekend at the Nailsea show thanks to Gordon D, Big P and Mike plus my other half helping. We ran our last train just as the show closed and driving away from the venue 25 minutes later. Edited March 13, 2017 by roundhouse 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted April 2, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 2, 2017 This weekend we are at the Cheltenham exhibition. A small but good show run for charity. We have a smaller crew than usual but being a small show we don't have as much stock out. Plenty of interest from visitors though. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted April 22, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 22, 2017 The first day of the Liverpool show is now into the last hour. The layout has been working well apart from the usual operator errors. We had a fair few beers last night hence seeing double 73202!! Still need to source the nameplates for these locos. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted April 23, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 23, 2017 The layout performed well again today. We had the layout loaded into the car and away less than thirty minutes after er running the last train as the show closed. Now just go w past the real Banbury. Here is an aerial view taken at the show from the balcony No more shows now till the Autumn so hopefully will get chance to do some work on the layout. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bridgiesimon Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 is that a sofa behind the layout? taking your own comforts sounds like a result!! Best wishes Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted April 24, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) Yes thats the sofa we have when Phatbob is helping as its his and he has room in his car. Normally shows more Northern to our South East area. We only set it up if there is sufficient room as we dont ask for enough space for it but I did make use of it on Sunday. Also an update - looks like I have a some one doing the nameplates for the Southern 73's. Will report once they arrive.

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted April 26, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) Finally managed to get the nameplates for 73202 which was named after our late friend GRAHAM STENNING.By chance I had an email this week from Precision Decals about the release of FGW decals so I asked if he could do these for us. A couple of days later and they have arrived.Really pleased with them. They need to dry then they will get a coat of varnish to seal them. Not the best photo but I will try a in better light over the weekend Edited April 26, 2017 by roundhouse 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium GWRPhil Posted April 29, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 29, 2017 The beer fridge was underneath the layout, out of sight. I kid you not. It's always good to have the beer fridge. Was there anything good in it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted April 29, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 29, 2017 (edited) Only soft drinks this time unfortunately as it was a school which often don't like alcohol on the premises and we were on th beer after droppingthe car back to the hotel on the Friday night and Saturday night.

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted August 9, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) As it's been nearly four months since my last post on here, a little bit of an update. The layout has been boxed up since the Liverpool show so nothing new to report on the layout but it will be out this September at the Woking RES show plus a couple more this year so hopefully there will be time to do some work to the layout. Next year we also have a few shows although not as many as in previous years as the layout is now six years old but no intentions of retiring it yet. We have a few large shows booked for the next couple of years. Watch out for more updates soon. Edited August 9, 2017 by roundhouse 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted August 20, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 20, 2017 Yesterday we made a quick visit to Banbury. As a freight was due heading South and despite realtimetrians showing it using the up goods line rather than the up main I wasnt so sure it would so the best place for either option was form the road bridge. Good job I did as it came through fast on the up main. Its also my first shot form the bridge since the North Box was demolished. Only the floor slab remaining of both the box and out buildings can now be seen and no doubt will disappear in undergrowth in the near future. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pompeydave Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Really enjoyed the layout at Woking. Came away with some ideas of building something in 'N'. With inspiration from Banbury and Hinksey Yard I guess I'd better start saving....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
