Alcanman Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Nice pics, Chris. High nose GP40s look great and, of course, they are still in service with Pan Am. Here's 370 in rather more wintry weather. http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=1474334 and in new Pan Am paint scheme. http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=3505161 Mal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Gilbert Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 You know what I like about this hobby, some chap came up to my layout at Glasgow yesterday and thanked me for putting this stuff online. I didn't get the guys name, I was still panicking trying to get things to run, so I'd like to say thanks and I'm glad you liked it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

long island jack Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Nice to meet up today with Snow white and the seven dwarfs,sneezy,grumpy,dirty and bashfull etc. Layout looked good,magnet looked better in road,but to be honest at the height of the layout and distance from the paying public, you'ed have been lucky to see it!!! The only thing i couldn't work out was which part of New England it was,at one time there were loco's from SF,Conrail and a NH!!!!(i'm sure someone got photo's) I'm sure it happen at some time and look forward to the next incantation New England 2020 the future!!!! Hope John G got all those cars weathered(dirty) and him a Nick went Dutch!!!! Keep up the good work Chris and don't forget, it's your layout and it's suppose to be FUN!!!!!! Ray p.s Hope mister Grumpy has found something on the menu!!!!!!!! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike at C&M Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Ah, the old "if the Americans can borrow an ICE set, why can't they have borrowed a pair of 6400 diesels" ploy. Good to see you and the 6400 on Friday, Jon 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Gilbert Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 One more video from the weekend. Once the NCE power cab had been replaced with a 5 amp power supply the layout ran verll The track got very dirty and needed cleaning frequently and the six motor locos derailed a couple of times Here's the longest train we ran. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trisonic Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I like the "J.B. Hunt" rig. They are everywhere in the North East. Best, Pete. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supaned Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I've said it before , and I'll say it again - the extension really changes the layout for the better , and the details , vehicles etc all add to the overall effect. Cracking stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-UnitMad Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 6-axle R-T-R locos are far less tolerant of rough track than 4-axle types. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
