shanks522 Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 Evening all. The layout is all put away now after another successful exhibition, Had a fairly trouble free show, couple of wagons played up and i may need to replace a point motor but other than that pretty good. Nice to meet some fellow RM webbers and lovely to see so many young people enjoying the trains, especially the 2 and half year old who new the difference between an electric with a pantograph and a diesel, brilliant! I did a little filming over the weekend and will do another video in the next couple of days which i'l post on here but for now here's a couple of pictures. Cheers Graham.

rob roy Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Hiya Graham , Its an old mate from the past, boy have you been busy.As usual you have surpassed yourself once again, N gauge really does suit your style of layout. Its great to see your now on the exhibition circuit , now I know there is definitely no chance of ever getting you behind Invergeachy any time soon. Perhaps we may cross paths at an exhibition sometime in the future, hope you will say hello. Your old mate. Jim. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanks522 Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 Hello all, Just a little update, A couple of new loco's arrived this christmas namely a DBshenker class 60 and a Virgin 87 which was a nice surprise. And mid December this little beauty turned up. Another Mercig Studios masterpiece which i'm very happy with. should look great on the back of a charter rake. Cheers Graham.

Ralph Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 nice new video, one question -- the junction on lower level do you run any trains on the right hand track from the tunnel thats about 1/2 way along the arch wall ? like the 66 x 4 move.

shanks522 Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 Hi Ralph, Yes trains do run on that track, it is part of a return loop that comes off the Up line just inside the tunnel ( At the start of the video the 57+voyager are on the Up line). It's mainly to swap trains from the Up to the Down line so does not see as much use as the other tracks. Cheers Graham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanks522 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 Hello all, Just over a week and the layout has its first outing of 2014 at the Orpington MRC show in Pratts bottom. Another loco arrived in time for the exhibition,Tornado, Not really a fan of LNER engines but i'm quite taken by the A1 and in blue livery looks great. really need to get the layout out now and have a little clean up and test! Cheers Graham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanks522 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 Hello all, The layout had its first exhibition of 2014 and performed reasonably well, a couple of point motors played up and another Dapol 86 went pop but other than that not bad. Cheers Graham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanks522 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 Cheers Simon, The video isn't quite as good as i would have liked but is ok, I'l probably do another in a few weeks time as i plan to do some repair work to the layout/scenery.

RMweb Premium MrSimon Posted January 14, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 14, 2014 Those pesky 86's! Is the Hanson a 59? I always liked that livery Glad to hear the layout behaved - will try and come see it in September Cheers Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanks522 Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 Hi Simon, Dapol loco's are not popular at the moment! I reckon i could keep DCC supplies busy for a while. Yes the Hanson loco is a 59, Its a CJM one i bought off a fellow RMWebber, Hopefully see you in September. Cheers Graham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 great video, Tornado looks good, some power in the snowplough consist & like the class 59 bit of a rare sight in any scale or real size, like the phoo from a different angle of the layout.

shanks522 Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 Hello all, I've got the layout set up for a couple of days as its being photographed for a magazine, whilst its up i'm going to make some general repairs and add finer detail etc, I will also take some video tomorrow of the newer additions but tonight i took a few pictures at dusk. Quite pleased with this, Tornado speeding north and caught the signal changing from yellow to red. Cheers Graham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
