Del Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Roy is currently sat on his living room floor, trying to remember the name of all seven EM2s. He's got six... EDIT - and we finally get a very brief look at the layout! OK, it's definitely Woodhead, there is a black EM2 and it looks to be 7mm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
two tone green Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 His room looks like my apartment at the moment as I try to build a demo layout in it in 7mm. Not that I am watching Corrie of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Can't help thinking the storyline is not going to show 'us' in a positive way. Previous glimpses of his model railway seem to be an oval straight out of the box set out on the table. Oh dear. I fear you might be right. From the glimpses that they have just shown, Woodhead tunnel appears to be a 2ft long home made lump of Mod-roc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdseyecircus Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Can't wait for the BBC to respond by bringing model railways into EastEnders........... I make a point of avoiding the programme but could be tempted if the hobby were to become involved, but on EastEnders any layout would probably meet a depressingly violent end! Already done! I am usually on the lap top when the missus is watching all this guff but I am 99 per cent sure that Eastenders hard case Phil Mitchell said 'he was building a train set for the boy' and he was shown holding parts from a trainset in an episode before Christmas.

Oh well, at least it proves I don't watch EastEnders - like you, I'm normally on the laptop or modelling while it's on, but unfortunately I still get to hear some of the dialogue (if you can call it that).

RMweb Premium petethemole Posted March 17, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 17, 2014 So the bloke who's spent the last ?? years running a cafe, spending time with his partner and taking in various waifs and strays and helping them along life's path, has suddenly got to be an expert terrain modeller? I'm surprised he's gone for 0 gauge but perhaps there's an 0 gauge modeller behind it all on the production side. And no, I don't watch it, but I used to. Weaned myself off, but a few months later got together with a serious corrie addict. Been clean for 4 years now! Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted March 17, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 17, 2014 I'm wondering which of the monthly mags Roy get's and whether he's a member on here. Nice to see he turned/unplugged his phone off whilst working on his layout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gismorail Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Yes its all out in the open now the flat has been trashed by a model railway project ( right hands up who's railway room is like that ) At least the researchers have got the class of loco right and did I see some cat and henry in one shot ...... Dapol you had anything to do with this........ and it looks as though Haley's coming back as an EM2....... strange that she did go to Holland for a while a few years back..... Am a bit concerned the way Roy got her ashes out in the final scene ........... surely he's not going to use them as ballast Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Well he had better be an expert terrain modeller, because he indicated that his next project was to construct the reservoirs alongside the line. Maybe a more logical priority would be to put up some catenary? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonBradley Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Coronation Street has never been screened on S.A.T.V so is a complete mystery to me. I just looked up this forum to "see" the model railway, but of course cannot. "Spoilers" on BING Videos do not help, but let me know if there ever is a picture on the Web.
