jcredfer Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Lovely moody picture ........ Westerham Station, caught in the Ford Populars headlights late at night. ( thanks for the insipration Al ) ............................ but not the lights of a Ford Popular - they were much more dim and yellow ....... More like the Area Cops checking out the passengers off the train - in their new Area Car, fitted with they there new fangled Hollow gin Halloween Halogen lights - all bright and blue ......... could tell a following Cop Car miles behind .......

A bit early for Halogen's I think. Our Area Car, a Wolseley 6/110, in 1966/7 didn't have Halogens, and if you put the blue light on and rang the bell (yes, we still had bells - not two-tones) the lights went as dim as a - well, a Ford Pop!

aberdare Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Hi Adrian Congratulations on getting Westerham into BRM, it looked great and it was good to get some of the background information too as to why it was built. I love your scenic work and often pop in for a comparison to my own and hope to reach the levels you have once it's all together. Keep the photos coming with their little stories as if/when they stop it will be a sad day and I will miss them a lot. All the best Jim 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Alister_G Posted October 12, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 12, 2014 HI Adrian, finally managed to get a copy of BRM this morning. Superb photos of your layout, and a nice write up. Even in close up, the detail you've managed to get into your modelling is amazing. Love the night time view as well, really good. Cheers, Al. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted October 12, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 12, 2014 What did they have in Z cars? Mk III Ford Zephyr 6. I think the police version actually had the Zodiac exhaust manifold, which Ford claimed added 12 bhp - to a lordly 112. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those of us who follow your progress on here know full well you missed a bit! Do we take it they are saving Brasted for a future edition?????? Hi Colin, It's a possible, maybe. one day, can't say more than that. Next project will be the connection of Westerham to Brasted with a removable baseboard, and wiring that up. doing a bit more detailing on both stations. Then the building of Chevening Halt, so plenty of things to get on with. All the best Adrian. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aberdare Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Crikey Adrian, I'd just done a similar post and thought I'd done quite well to get as far as I had, but I come on here and you got yours built and published while I'm still only halfway through. Not that I'm deflated in any way though, it just encourages me to make sure progress continues to reach that same goal. Looking forward to following more of your work in the future now that I see there is more to come. Envious of East Yorks. Jim 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Evening Adrian, new title, (confused me to begin with) but I like it, so more pics now please, its sounds like a good new solid plan for the future of Westerham as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Alister_G Posted October 14, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 14, 2014 Happy Birthday Brasted! I too find it hard to believe it's a year old, but it certainly looks well on it. I'm very tempted to say I like Brasted even more than Westerham, there's just something about the way the station nestles into the landscape, it really is superb. Looking forward to the next year's worth of modelling - will you reach London by then?? Al. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post westerhamstation Posted October 14, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2014 Through the hole in the partion at Brasted and out the other side and we are on our way to Westerham Station. After a bit of a tidy up, and having moved the freezer out the way, I can make a start on the boards and track so that the two stations can be joined and services can be run. The plan is in my head at the moment and I am making it up as I go along, but it will involve a lifting/re-movable section (not my head) but the boards. Some pictures of work so far. 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
