RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted October 20, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 20, 2017 Bliddy eck, someone lost their dummy in that last bit (not 75C). Warning P4 talk.........now then, who wants to discuss the new Peco Bullhead Points? I think they are bloody brilliant. If I build another layout I shall use them exclusively. Today my DCC Concepts Catalogue arrived. If you ain't got one then get one. It is like looking at the future. There is stuff in there I didn't know existed and they have wires and some green things with solder on. They even have some lovely levers....... Yo. But can you understand it or is it all funny modern words about modems and two wires when 22 will do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted October 20, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 20, 2017 Hi Andrew thanks for the edit. Your pictures. Here be the real thing and shows what it should be like and would be if it were an exhibitionist layout. P 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted October 20, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 20, 2017 Avoiding Class 87, far too modern for this diesel and electric modeller to get involved in. I am going to Warley representing DEMU. I will have a collection of part built EMUs in front of me. All 1960s stuff. I am sure someone will associate my modelling with knowledge of electric traction and will ask me about the new class 87 model if not the new class 90 that Bachmann have got certain people all wet in the pants over. I am practicing my blank look face. Will you be in the demo area Clive? Could be worth a look as I know nothing about EMUs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium St Enodoc Posted October 20, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 20, 2017 Oh Phillette-O-Philth You'd be right barmy to rip up all that lovely track and replace it with PecoBull ® Personally I'd just pray for early onset crap-o-vision™ then you won't even see that you've used the wrong rail fishers I have had E O C-O-V™ for yonks (both metric & imperial) and now just have the 3 settings: 1. Driving 2. Looking at trainporn on the puter 3. Watching trainporn on the telebox. Leave it! Specky Twet.jpg Oi, that bloke's nicked my glasses!

RMweb Premium St Enodoc Posted October 20, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 20, 2017 In all seriousness Phil I wouldn't go for a rip up and put down approach - apart from the cost, once track is properly laid, ballasted and weathered, all anyone will notice is the overall colour and shiny rail tops. TbH folks armoire interested in watching the things that move than the bit they've on. Graham of Grantham's own layout is of course ample proof of this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium St Enodoc Posted October 20, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 20, 2017 Fatbottom on wood on the fasts (nice 60' lengths too). Bullshite on wood on the Loops and everywhere else. Fatbottoms on the Incline with a variety of sleepers depending on year and where you be lookin'. Philth Interestingly, on his own thread Tony Wright has pointed out that Stoke Summit's main lines were laid in flat bottom (not Peco though) and the loops in bullhead, as per prototype. After seeing that layout many times, from both sides of the barrier, I had never noticed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted October 20, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 20, 2017 Will you be in the demo area Clive? Could be worth a look as I know nothing about EMUs. HI Mike DEMU is stand A47. We are there to promote our society and the best way to do that is by having something to demo. Strangely the Warley website list the stand numbers for the societies but not anything else, but I will be sat behind a big layout A45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do either of them make the trains perform better? Can't be bothered to try to spot the difference. Does that show the difference enough? Actually, in that photo, are the FB lengths 60'? I can't judge very well but a coach (Maunsell is about 60') Bulleid about 64' I've also noticed that the train is 13 coaches and that's challenging for the Hornybee loco's.
