87023Velocity Posted December 3, 2022 Author Share Posted December 3, 2022 A few video clips now the layout is all set up. First EWS 37520 and 90014. The second has a Scottish theme with 26007 on an MGR to Cockenzie, a push-pull and a Strathclyde 156 Cheers Simon 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianb3174 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I have a question, apologies if it's been asked before. On the WCML bits I'm familiar with the fast lines are a pair, as are the slow lines. On this layout the two centre lines are the fast lines. Does the protocol change north of Crewe?

It is a bit of a mix really. Between Crewe and Winsford, Warrington to Winwick Junction the centre lines are fast lines. Between Golbourne Junction and Springs Branch it changes to a pair of fast and pair of slow lines. Between Euxton and Preston it is paired again.

Hope you've got a warm coat .. you can't stop entertaining us just because its cold!!! :) Rich Thanks Rich, yes think my big coat might be wise, I do have a portable oil fired radiator but very reluctant to plug it in and switch on! Noticed some of the locos I have tried have been slow to get going and need a few circuits to warm them up. Not really had an issue with this before but then the radiator was probably used more to keep the chill off.

Great images again, damn lucky to get the test train passing through while you were there. Every time I go for them its the usual 'oh you should have been here 10 minutes ago' comment.... However, I can feel the chills coming on from that 20 minutes at the lineside, so I am off for the flask from the car 🤣 Edited December 11, 2022 by MarshLane 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

87023Velocity Posted December 24, 2022 Author Share Posted December 24, 2022 A second class 90 has arrived today, this being 90004 in Virgin. Put straight onto the layout and like 90019, it runs really smoothly. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. Cheers Simon 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merry Christmas Rich Thanks Rich, personally I think they are stunning. They are very smooth and quiet. Only grumble like has been mentioned are the unpainted busbars and insulators. Needless to say I will be getting more! Merry Christmas Cheers Simon 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

87023Velocity Posted December 26, 2022 Author Share Posted December 26, 2022 Hi Everyone, Hope you all had a good Christmas and maybe received some modelling items. Managed to nip in and out of the garage for the odd quick play yesterday and today. Cheers Simon 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold MarshLane Posted December 27, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 27, 2022 I have friends like you Simon - their visits the lineside almost always co-incide with something interesting coming past ... mine never do! Just goes to show the superb level of achievement you've got with Dallam. It looks realistic and lovely from any angle you take! Nice to see a shot of a mail train leaving the RMT too - I dont think your down at Dallam very often when that runs 🤣 Happy New Year to you (and everyone else reading this!)

87023Velocity Posted December 29, 2022 Author Share Posted December 29, 2022 Evening everyone. Over the last few days I have managed to video a few different trains and make a longer video than usual. Although only 5 minutes in length, it seemed to take me a while ! 🤣 Cheers Simon 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only imagine how long that took to edit having lost many hours trying to do the same thing! Nick 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curlew Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 (edited) Very impressive! Just wondering how far it is to do a complete circuit on the layout? You must be rapidly wearing the locos out ;) Edited January 1, 2023 by Curlew 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
