porkie Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Looks absolutely stunning. Love how this has turned out. Just need to see some Ac loco's on route now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doughnut Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 Cheers chaps...yes very pleased...the best thing about it is bringing another loco into action...its like getting a new prezzy every time. Just got the lower track and ramp cleaned and working tonight, so I can put together trains ready for the off and programme locos now, in the fiddleyard.

Popular Post Doughnut Posted November 15, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 15, 2014 More locos coming on-stream this evening. Ariva 158, and X-country Voyager..see pics below. Got my DRS 66 up and running too. Next up, Class 350 Desiro, but it needs a bit of re-wiring first, so might be the Chiltern 168. Dave 22 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doughnut Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 Many thanks chaps. Still one or two things to do. Main thing is the moving of the signal gantry in Minsterley Station. Thought Id positioned it right first time, but the 9-car Pendolino tells me differently. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith73 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Been following your topic for ages. Great to see trains running, bet it feels very satisfying after all the hard work. Have to say your layout and scenery is amazing one of the best layouts on here. Really good photos they all look like photos of real railways. Keep up the good work Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Storey Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I too have watched your progress with amazement and awe. Can't wait to see what 3rd railers you bring to the party? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doughnut Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 I too have watched your progress with amazement and awe. Can't wait to see what 3rd railers you bring to the party? Well in the 3rd rail department I have 2x 466's, a 4 CEP,416, MLV, and of course the 319, which is dual voltage. I think some of the 350's at one time were juice rail units, well dual anyway. Oh and a Eurostar. If Bachmann ever did the 444's or 450's or any other emu's I'd have one. Dave 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doughnut Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 Managed to get it half done tonight. Just got to join all those signal wires up again and re-do the ohle. Cheered myself up by getting the Desiro running. What a noise, you'd swear you were about to be abducted, when that powers up. Dave 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doughnut Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 Just finished re-positioning and connecting up the signal gantry tonight and brought another train into action, Chiltern 168. Freightliner 08 too. Love its whistle. Dave 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBE Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) Incredible modelling and photography to best bring it out.
