RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted December 9, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 9, 2014 Maybe in all honesty it's the unrebuilt BB/WC/MN that don't cut the mustard with me in my eyes they have no character I do think the LSWR built some very elegent engines in the 19th century. BTW don't faint I do have a little 0-6-0 Terrier on my layout and might just get a T9. The T9s have the grace and poise of an earlier era. Beautiful locos. Narrow cab in green with watercart tender. Wide cab in wartime black with sunshine lettering and 6 wheel tender I prefer the look of the narrow cab locos, more suitable for their 'Greyhound' name IMO. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Donw Posted December 9, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) If you want SR and edge of Dartmoor Okehampton has to be the best choice. Totnes is nice but not quite real Dartmoor. I miss my friend Frank he was born in Station road Totnes and knew it in GWR days. He had an 0 gauge layout in his loft in Totnes with a stairlift to get him up there when his legs went. Don edit added before Paul's scandalous suggestion no disrepect to Okehampton but replacing Brent :nono: .

RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted December 9, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 9, 2014 There is no truth in the rumour that ANTB is to be scrapped and replaced by A NOD TO OKEHAMPTON......... (SPAMS and I are working on this one though....) In that case I'd start another thread titled.... OMDB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cary hill Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 OMBD is the ICAO airport code for Dubai International Airport, but I suspect you are referring to the 1980's Synth DirgeMeisters who were once banned from BBC's Swapshop for being too "Gay".

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted December 9, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 9, 2014 If I can find a green one I'd be happy with that, then I will have to update a couple of coaches I have.

brianusa Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Hi Everyone, Sorry to barge in unannounced. I've been lurking around the site for a while now, but this is the first time I've actually posted anything. I'm currently living and working in Saudi Arabia, so I don't get to see many trains, real or otherwise, except for what I can find on the 'net. However, we're planning to move back to the UK in 2-3 years' time and Mrs W has more-or-less agreed that I can build a small layout once we find a place to live. I had a couple of circles of track and a few engines and coaches when I was younger, but I fell out of model railways before I could make anything serious once I discovered football, beer and girls, not necessarily in that order! However, I picked up a copy of Hornby magazine on a visit home a couple of years back, which reawakened the interest, and since then I've been quietly doing some research and planning what sort of a layout I'd like to model if and when I got the chance. So why am I posting this here, and not on a new members/introductions thread? Well, partly because as a Plymuff bey, I've enjoyed reading the chat about that part of the world and revisiting old haunts (mentally, at least) and mostly because, Rob, you've made exactly the layout I was thinking of - a small station on the edge of Dartmoor, on the Plymouth-Exeter main line, with a working branchline, in the heyday of the Great Western. Many thanks for the inspiration, and the hours of enjoyment spent reading through the thread (page 22 so far, so no spoilers please!) If anything I ever make is a quarter as good as this, I'll be delighted. Keep up the good work. Regards, Waraqah Hi Waragah (that doesn't sound like a Plymouth name), As one far removed from Plymouth also, these forums have certainly been an asset to keep up with UK modelling and the South West in general usually with great pictures. Hope you find it as useful as I do. Brian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is, these holes tend to be somewhat unstable, so have to be backfilled fairly quickly. Anybodything forgotten at the bottom tends to stay forgotten for a very long time... Just saying....

RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted December 9, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 9, 2014 Thanks Sierd, I think.That hole would be a good place to put my early modelling efforts too.Cordylines don't grow easily there either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cary hill Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Looks a bit like a certain Council car park in Leicester with a King hidden in it. Mind you he's being backfilled in style in Leicester Cathedral next March. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cary hill Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) T & A's piccy of the "faux" King Richard III certainly looks better than this old wreck: and to get back on topic here's another "real" King Richard III, which met with a similarly bad ending, cut to pieces by Cox and Danks of Oldbury https://www.flickr.com/photos/70607220@N04/6897645691/ along with ten other Kings.
