I'm very pelased with the wagons Andy, the chap who did them created the transfers as they are not available "of the shelf", as I say he has another one in the pipeline for me. The sound is Biffs "West Highland 37"

Both excellent Simon the wagons do look proper speedlink 1980s. You did a great job on 350 as well it looks and sound smart mate .

Another great video Simon!  Why do I get the feeling that Bilston Airways is the one that Jasper Carrott was talking about in reference to the "pilot kicking the tires" and running down the runway over a cattle grid ;)

 

Is your plan to extend the overhead wires at sometime then, or are you happy with it all as it is now?

I`ll let you keep the fag`s Simon,but i`ll take the crate of Bonks`is beer ar kid!........ :drinks:

 

Brian.

 

Great video Simon, oh, and the trains were pretty good as well :D

 

Al.

Thank you all for your kind words, as I've said before, I can't take the credit for WombatofLudham hard work and creative genius. I simply film the trains and then dump the raw footage in Dropbox. He then spends hours editing what I've filmed, thinking up and creating titles as well as the adverts before sending the completed episode back too me.

Anyone that comes to my next openday will be able to partake of a home made curry as well as playing trains

 

Regards

 

Simon

Open Day Update

 

An action packed day thanks to Thames 611 (Dave) and WombatofLudham (Mark), Thames brought so much stock that his car boot looked like an overflow for Hattons.

 

The day started with the Crew minibus arriving from Bescot, cadging a lift was Dave and Mark

They had both picked a great day to visit as the yard was a hive of activity, with MOD specials
