There is a lot of detail. If that picture had been posted later on this year I would imagine there would be quite a bit of discussion around if that Pacer was the Realtrack or EFE version! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickham Green too Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 They were always a bit iffy in my opinion .... more so on real track - though not so bad on modern continuously welded stuff. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longest journey I did in one was in a 142 or 143 from Bristol Parkway to Taunton back in 2008. Bouncing along the B&E mainline at 70 towards Weston S-M was quite the experience! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Rich_F Posted February 15, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 15, 2023 From someone I follow on Flickr... Wickham Trolley at ICI Wilton Works. Yes you can run a full size flat wagon behind your Wickham trolley 😆. Also on the 'Prototype for Everything' thread. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris M Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 So, I’m watching my local news (Midlands Today) and I thought, goodness me they’ve got a model railway on their background. On closer inspection it’s a webcam showing Birmingham Moor Street Station. It just doesn’t look very real. 8 5 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickham Green too Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 The use of miscellaneous packaging from the box room behind that one low-relief building is a rather odd choice. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris M Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 (edited) They have got a lot of lights on this layout but maybe they are too bright. Even that packaging has some lights fitted. Edited February 21, 2023 by Chris M 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever it comes on I say to Mrs.Rugd1022 ''I've spent hours in those loops'' to which she just gives me a funny look...! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
