GWR88 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Dan, I've watched you build this layout on here and its inspired me whilst I've been building my layout and its one reason I changed fully from modelling UP to BNSF. The layout looks brilliant and I can't wait to see it at Eastleigh today. All the best, Lloyd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warbonnetuk Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Hi Lloyd Good to say hello to you on Saturday at Eurotrack - apologies if I was a bit spaced out but being up at 04:30 on that morning was taking its toll ;-) Keep up with the BNSF modelling!

warbonnetuk Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Despite some decidedly grotty weather on the way down and back home again I had a very enjoyable weekend at Eurotrack with the layout. Thanks and congratulations to Ian How and the rest of the organising team. Heres a quick bit of video shot over the weekend - it was on my phone so it's a little jumpy https://flic.kr/p/r15oE8 Dan Edited February 22, 2015 by warbonnetuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warbonnetuk Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Since getting back from Eurotrack I'be been busy with more detailing and weathering before the layout's next trip out. As this turned out to be an 11th hour invite to Ally Pally the pace of work has increased somewhat. While some small details still need to be added the main effort has been working of weathering stock and also adding some additional so protypical motive power. Thus the GP60 added to the roster and 2022 has received additional weathering. The previously pristine freight cars have now been matte'd off and faded with some airbrushed Lifecolour dust (pics to follow) Dan 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warbonnetuk Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 Day 1 of Ally Pally put to bed and back home. Despite the early start and mad rush to set up in time for 09:30 "Bachmann Sweepstakes" ticket opening time it was a good day. Layout ran well but the GP60 misbehaved so I'll have a look at the pickups later. Although we have our fair share of 'non UK outline layout run away' punters there were a good number that wanted to chat about (good to see you again Lloyd) Hopefully have enought time to gets some pics / video tomorrow Dan 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I was the good-looking, balding guy (LOL), who spoke to you about moving to HO (having been inspired by Mr Mindheim), Cobalts, Blue Point switch machines, etc., etc. Great to see your layout in operation and meet you - I'm inspired even more now. Great show as well (my first time - the only other time I have been to Alexandra Palace was, I think, at a custom car show there in 1976!!). Bagged myself some second-hand box and tank cars for my rapidly growing 'stash' - all thanks to the Model Railway Club members sales stand. Guess this means I have succumbed to US-outline HO after all! Steve N Edited March 29, 2015 by steveNCB7754 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
