Coombe Barton Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 In the pub with the BCB boys, Andy Y, Sandside and Stubby, is this a wise move? Photos later if I'm able... Think you've answered your own question. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted February 9, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 9, 2013 Good luck at Doncaster this weekend, boys! Just remember, the Taunton Members Day waits for you.... any year from 2014 onwards will be just fine! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aberdare Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Thoroughly enjoyed seeing this, it was one of the main reasons for me going to Doncaster today. Well done to all those involved and I think the quality of work spoke for itself by the number of people who were gathered around it for most of the day, apart from chatting to John early on I didn't get near it until the later part of the afternoon.

Phil47gwr Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Hi, Just joined today after reading your article in Railway Modeller. I am a complete novice and have just rediscovered an interest in modelling GWR steam, especially West Bromwich town staion as it was in the 1950s. I have today posted some pictures of the track-bed of the GWR line taken in the 1970s before the Metro was built which may be of interest to your project and possibly some help. Also some pictures of the canals and locks along the BCN, again takenin the early 1970s. Look forward to seeing your project grow. https://secure.flickr.com/photos/52793272@N03/ 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post TheSignalEngineer Posted February 9, 2013 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2013 Thanks for a great day lads, you really made the 'Supporters Club' welcome. Backscene and lighting looked really good. Managed to get a few shots through the crowds. All photographs copyright C E Steele 46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted February 9, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 9, 2013 First time I've seen photos of the layout in such a complete format, first time for most of us, I suspect - superb guys, just superb!! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
multivac Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 After seeing BCB at Donny today I have to say that the layout is big and "W E Millward Ltd" is so good I spent ages looking at it. Shame the distance between the the barrier and the layout made closer viewing difficult. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted February 9, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 9, 2013 First time I've seen photos of the layout in such a complete format, first time for most of us, I suspect - superb guys, just superb!! From what I heard this morning it was the first time that the team had seen the layout all together. I think the backscene went up a few minutes before the doors opened. Driver training and shunting pole practice were ongoing when I left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the areas you covered so well but had forgotten just how it used to be. Some great images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLD Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 First impressions: there is obviously a long way to go for it to be the finished article, however the potential is clearly there and it shows the thought put in at the design stage. What was noticable, was that it was one of the better presented layouts in the show... Looking forward to seeing it again hopefully in a more complete form at Ally Pally.

DonB Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Just looked through Phil47gwr 's photo stream, ( https://secure.flick...s/52793272@N03/ ) Andy's cottages appear at https://secure.flickr.com/photos/52793272@N03/8457495513/in/photostream/ in a more modern guise Thanks for the Photos of BCB, I didn't take a camera. Nice to see Arthur's little tiger-striped loco being put though it's paces. It was stationary all the time that I was in the midst of the "huddle" around the layout. Thanks also to the Guys for finding time to have a chat. Sorry that I missed Spams, he'd gone walkabout! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
