DENT STATION with CHESTERGATE

[67A]

YES it's No!, Happy Jock!

Mike, to save me writing it out again, I've posted a health bulletin in the Lounge and ERs. Off to try to kip now!

Kind regards,

Jock.

Hi Jock,

 

Its 'Yes' we are all Brit's and that pontificating bullyboy has spat his dummy out, what a leader he would have made.

Hi Mike

More great photos -posts 1316-18

I especially like the Peak on the mail train and the Class 25 from the unusual angle through the arch of the station overbridge

 

Regards

Alan

Hi Alan,

 

Thanks for that, I am trying to gain different viewpoints whilst experiencing an 'arty' moment, a very rare phenomenon I must admit.

Morning Mike good shots of dent. I was talking to a mobile opps manager the other day and hes was saying the signal wires went on the embankment. the only one what went on the cess was the peg at the end of the station. Hope this helps

Mike

 

I've done it at last.

 

You were up to page 52 when I started reading through this thread - I'm not a fast reader! It soon went to 53 pages and I've been pacing myself against that number for several days only to find this morning that you'd filled another but I've finally made it so will be watching more routinely henceforth.

 

I have to say that it has been a brilliant story and thread - the layout's not bad either.

 

Thanks.

Hi Mark,

 

Many thanks for that, all I can say is that it was a very untidy looking set-up and I have to copy it and worse still answer all kinds of awkward questions forthcoming! 

 

Keep looking in for a little thank you of an unusual variety!

Hi Ray,

 

Glutton for punishment then? I'll have to post more picture, much easier that that old fashioned reading idea! Glad you enjoyed your journey Ray.

Hi Will,

 

Thanks for joining in, its great to see a young person taking an interest in railway related matters. I can honestly tell you I have learned more through railways than I was ever taught in the true sense, keep it up young man and thanks for the comment.

Mike just to let you know that Will used to live in Derbyshire until last year, now he's a Pasty eating foreigner in Cornwall, hahhaha.

He's also very knowledgeable and has his layout at Warley this year.

Hi all,

 

As promised here are a few 'unusual' shots to illustrate again the lengthy timeline an S&C based layout can enjoy...

 

Class 45 45055 'Royal Corps of Transport' heads a Nottingham-Glasgow express over the viaduct.

 

Swinging the camera around finds the express about to pass a Class 40 sat in the 'Up' refuge siding.

 

Class 40 40169 is awaiting a path with a ballast working further along on the 'Up' main

 

Both trains passing

 

Viewed from below in the field alongside

 

Following the movement of the Glasgow bound express...

 

Loco's and stock courtesy of my mate Andy (Not Bodgit, another Andy, Oh its getting complicated!)

 

Hope you like, more later....

 

 

[67A]

Before anyone jumps in, yes I should have moved the Scammell and roller, Ooooopppsss!

[Andrew P]

Firstly to two timing ######,( EDIT = It didn't like the word bug ER,)I thought I was YOUR ONLY ANDY, hahhahhah.

 

The Scammel looks great in my eyes and I think it adds depth to the shot,  love it.

 

In fact I love all the shots mate, EWS 66's next?

Geezz that Ballast Train is a bit slack. It's missed a whole section bit next to it on both lines! 

 

No but seriously It's looking great so far!

No No No! No privatisation on my little bit of England!

 

Sorry about the two timing but a man has needs.

Hi Sharkey,

 

Its the modern world for you, would not have happened back in the 50's! 

 

Real reason is; fettling work is still required especially on the crossing area and I'm checking on any expansion warping etc.

[Andrew P]

Off to watch the Grand Prix in a Min, and then I'll be back later for the latest pics Mike.

Hi all,

 

Spent a while compiling an INDEX by which to find significant posts and progress. Here is a link to the file and it also appears on Page 1.

 

RMWeb.Index.xlsx

[67A]

Sorry guys,

 

The index is in a spreadsheet form and will not print out correctly. If I simply copy and paste all the text just follows each other and ends up as gobbledegook!

[Andrew P]

I tried doing one for Bitton, but found I'd BITTON OFF MORE THAN I COULD CHEW, hahaha

 

It didn't work for me when I tried your link.

To finish the day off here are a few more bits I have been doing...

 

I know I said the station building was a winter project but I got tired of seeing the structure skeleton in all the photos so I have made a start on it a bit early...

 

Started by applying some valley detail in the form of grey printed adhesive paper.

 

Next some 0.020" plasticard is cut to shape and glued down to the roof slopes. Only reason for white and black is I ran out of black!

 

You can see the edges touched up with some Matt Black paint prior to slates being fitted.

 

It looks better already! However I realised I had no roof for the annex building...

[67A]

Last lot for this week....

 

a few more Blue and Grey before they disappear.

 

Going for a lye down!

Mike,

Your Excel file needed the D column extending to cover the longest length of text.

Then save your Excel file as normal, and also save your file as Text(Tab Deliminated) (*.txt).  You will then have two files saved, index.xlsx and index.txt

Open the index.txt file and you can then copy and paste the info into your replies here on the forum, like I have done below.

I have re-attached the files here for you to download.
