RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted November 28, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 28, 2015 Andy Thanks Phatbob has the layout set up at NEC. Not been over to it yet but he has a bag of my locos to run. I think that the decoder in the Beattie Well tank cant run on DC so no doubt he will be over to tell me it wont work. I do have a blanking plug with me so that will be an easy fix. I will take more photos this weekend when I can get away from Santa Barbara 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted November 28, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 28, 2015 A couple of faults on the layout which luckily as I was passing I managed to fix as I knew what the problem was from the past. Otherwise as far as I am aware it ran well. Bob has a few potential invites including one in he Sputh West so now we just need to agree if I am taking it or is he!! I run DCC and he DC. I gave my newly acquired Adams a Radial a run and a few other locos waiting to have a run tomorrow. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted November 30, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 30, 2015 Just a couple of photos from the Warley show. I was hoping to take quite a few but time flies by even when you are ther for two days. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivercider Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Well I have been following this thread for three years and finally caught up with Appledore at the weekend, it was one of the reasons I made my first visit to Warley. It was well worth the wait, and the time spent travelling, and for me it was one of the highlights of the show. I had an enjoyable chat with Bob while watching Appledore in 1964, The effort put in running appropriate stock to a realistic timetable made it very believable, thanks Gents cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob has put a bit more effort into things such as head code discs on his stock than I have but I did start adding the spare discs form the Kernow boxes it the locos that I brought with me. The layout may well be at a show much closer to you but will wait to say where as its just an interest at the moment (no formal invite).

RMweb Gold Phatbob Posted December 1, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 1, 2015 There were three expressions of interest for further appearances of Appledore over the Warley show. Should any mature into definite invitations, rest assured that they will be well and truly plugged on this forum.I'd like to thanks those RMwebbers who introduced themselves over the weekend. Always a pleasure. Thanks for the kind words and compliments too. It's a real lift to the spirits to have one's efforts appreciated by fellow modellers.Thanks also to everybody at the Warley club for their efforts over the weekend. It's sometimes hard to remember that such a vast a professional undertaking is actually a club show and not a commercial one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted October 12, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 12, 2018 (edited) A last minute stand in this morning after our friends mother took ill so he is unable to bring his layout to Barrow In Furness, so Phatbob is currently loading Appledore into his car to take it to the show. We are on our way by train as planned so no stock of mine wil be running but Bob does have plenty of stock. Looking forward to operating it again Edited October 13, 2018 by roundhouse 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Phatbob Posted February 21, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 21, 2019 It looks like Appledore may yet get its fifteen minutes of fame. I spent a few fun hours yesterday with some friends at the Warrington Model Railway Club's premises (thanks chaps, much appreciated) enjoying a mass layout photoshoot for a well known model railway magazine. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted December 24, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 24, 2019 Bob has brought the scenic sections of the layout back to me for a bit of maintenance after it's recent outings this year. The odd tie bar and solenoids to repair or replace. Not bad for a layout that is now 30 years or more old. Also a few repairs to the canopy in progress. Bob will be taking it home before the new year and I believe that it's next show will be Bristol in May 2020. There is a magazine article due out in time for that show. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
