As anyone will know one person can't think of everything so feel free to comment Class 33202 on a mixed freight working The fire service attending a fire as Class 25247 enters the tunnel with a rake of mark 1 coaches Class 47792 sits on the siding behind the station in Royal Mail Parcel delivery Class 47 Mammoth in British Rail Green with illuminated headcoat Class 25247 entering tunnel from a different angle Class 37130 on the siding at station Failed Class 31 been pulled into siding by EWS Class 59. If anyone can spot the slight annomally here please let me know as i want to know if it's really obvious Class 47844 in Virgin Livery i renamed this Lindisfarne it did not originally have a name, the engine this model was based on has been scrapped not sure when or why if anyone does know please let me know as been wondering for a while now.

Danemouth Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Interesting pictures Hornbyhall. Being as you've invited suggestions may I suggest painting the sides of your track with a suitable rust/grime coloured paint? The shiny silver colour did rather spoil the effect of your ballast.

ilovetrains6 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I was going build it when the shed is cleard after I have got a decent stage with the one I have but then I was thinking that the locks can't have a good run so I dissmist the idea.

RMweb Premium dhjgreen Posted October 10, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 10, 2015 had a hard day me thinks couple of bottles of wine and a take a way and a few hours running the trains then a few hours on rmweb been working on a end to end layout today i cant get away with them as you cant go very far backwards and forwards they just dont give me what i want the wife thinks they are ok i like the trains to get a good run but i guess its all on the space you have. be intresting to know how many people have a end to end layout. what do other people think of them comments please. Roundy layouts require a lot of space in EM, so for a home garage layout, end to end is the option. This layout is an interpretation of Bury Bolton Street Station in 1959. A four platform station with terminating, stopping and through trains, including some freight. Using the electrickery at the end of the traversers means that with the aid of a full 4 knob control system and the mimic diagram it is just possible to control 4 simultaneous train movements on my own. As most of the trains stop at the station there is not the feeling that they really should be going faster. I hope that explains the enjoyment an end to end can give. The scenic section is 3 metres long and the two traversers are 1 metre each. There is more steam, just not yet converted to EM. Oh and a Class 504 Manchester third rail electric is a work in progress. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
