Thames 611 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Hello Class"66", Thanks for your comments on my 37. The model is really nice, as good as you'd expect really from Bachmann. My only let down was the fact they didn't supply a separate name plate for the money spent, but it doesn't really detract from how nice it is. Iv been catching up on your layout the last few days, Love it mate, it's coming along really nice. its great to see how it all started to what it is today, makes me want to bring some of my fleet up and play trains (sign of a good looking layout) I like your selection of 37s and if I read right you have about 43, thats brilliant, I only have about 15, some have been renumbered weathered etc and i am always on the look out for more. I do like 37s. I'll eventually get round to putting up some more pictures. I do have a lot of 47s, about 33 on my last count and climbing, I think they were a brilliant loco iv tried to go for no name locos when getting them renumbered, but I do have a lot of the limited editions as well. My favourite time period on the railways is mid 70s to pre-privatisation, with late 80s being probably the best time with all the colour schemes, sectors and classes cutting shapes on our railways. Good times. Keep up the great work and ill be following with interest. Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thames 611 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Hello, I may just take you up on that, I'm up in the Midlands visiting for a couple of weeks next week, a day up to the Wirral isn't that far away. I'll bring Grainflow for you to take a look at. It would be good to get some running time on it. Appreciate the offer, if you really don't mind that is. It would be good to meet like minded people and get some advice face to face. I was part of a MRC but it wasn't what I expected, most if not all but one weren't interested in modern image stuff, they were mainly All about steam, not my choose of era to be fair, the club layout was a reflection of this, they were and still are great guys but just the Wrong time line for me. So I'm looking to talk to or meet up with people who share the same kind of mindedness when it comes to Modelling, so far these forums are brilliant and I'm finding more and more forums and people every day. As before keep up the great work and hopefully we may meet at your club one day soon. Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

380John Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Hi Neil, It's taken me about a week on and off but iv finally finished catching up on your layout from start to finish. Congratulations on an inspiring layout with plenty of eye candy! It's a fantastic layout and extremely life like. I'm pretty new to the hobby in a serious sense and have found your thread great for ideas and your explanations and how to guides make things look easy. I'm in the northwest myself, over at frodsham looking at the possibility of joining a club but I'm away from home 2 weeks of the month so don't know how this would work. Anyway well done! All the best, John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
