LNER4479 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) Drop the dead donkey. Peco announce C75 OO Bullhead track. Due this year. Now, I don't know if this is good news or not as I have all the C75 track I require and it turns out that this is all FB. However, Peco 'look' bullhead would be very nice thank you on the Station loops (as it was in reality) and in the Yards at SOSJ. Good job I've got Larryitis and am going to be redoing my track (with pro help this time) on the Incline (that was/is FB) as that takes time. Then I need to do the through mains at the Station and they were FB on wooden sleepers, so that's a bit more time. Is it worth waiting....................? Maybe I'll just sell some of my existing, unused C75? I've got a whole box of Concrete Sleeper that I don't need. I'd use C & L/SMP bullhead but the sleeper spacing would be so different to the Peco FB (and I've given up on respacing the Peco sleepers on main line runs). Oh ar$e, decisions, decisions. Quackers. Now then, Duckie - calm thy ruffled feathers! I too am excited at the prospect of the noo track from Beer. T'would of course fit 1930's ECML just splendidly - but I'm more minded to start saving my pennies for the humungous scheme to come. Meanwhile, back at SOSJ, I recommend now in particular that we lay using the foam option. That way, if you do decide to relay / upgrade in the future then at least your existing track can be re-used (I'm not so sure if the proposed noo track will fit the existing foam however?). Mind you, you do say that the track near the tunnel was / is FB anyway... Nice to see the charming young female photter back as your avatar - wonder how many days she'll last this time?

eastwestdivide Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Now then chaps. I am having to inform you all that the wearing of nightwear during morning (or afternoon for that matter) postings on SOSJ and that includes those slippers that look like really furry pu$$ies, is not welcome. There are Standards on ANTB (other layouts are available) and I think you will agree that standards and conventions do need to be upheld on SOSJ. Onesies are also discouraged and there must be no wetsuits or French Infantry costumes, however much CK enjoys wearing those patent leather thigh boots. Please do not think you can get away with wearing this inappropriate attire as your PC or Device is fitted, as you well know, with the little camera that allows us all to see what you be doin'. Interestingly, the CCE, who lives quite near Darlo, was not wearing PJs when he last visited. Many thanks for your attention and if you are disturbed in any way by this then please contact the Moderators who can be found in the Sleepover Section. Ar$e What!!11!!eleven? That includes my standard office attire, one of the advantages of working from home. In fact I was booking a ticket online while wearing my dressing gown at 0800 this morning, to be the early bird who catches the super-saver-advance-get-them-while-they're-hot tickets. There's a big piece of gaffer tape over the little camera by the way. Meanwhile I'll never look at my slippers in the same way again. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

G Stephenson Thanks to BRM farcebrook for this pic. Yus melord, the Incline was FB. the area awaits. It were the Station loops that wuz BH.

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted January 28, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 28, 2016 I have an idea. Yesterday I suggested I might use an M7 to do track testing. Well, as you fellows have been such sports I thought I'd give you an opportunity to choose a loco type to do the honours. No list but let's keep it to BRSR and BRWR and steam for now. One for the up and one for the down, but one should be WR! I do not have an example of every Class from both regions so let us keep to Classes seen at the Junction from 1958 until 1964. That gives you something to think about. CCE is coming next Friday ABW so testing could take place on Saturday 6th Feb. If you CBA then no worries as I shall just use something I know works OK. Thanks. Ducky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
