Liam Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Somehow the final picture is urging me to buy a Warship; who knows, could become D846 . . . Judging by the weathering, is D839 ex works Phil? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigwife007 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 It was very nice to see the layout in action again. The detail on the stock and locos is superb. Definately worth coming to see The big ones out side weren't to bad either. When your layout is stripped down and being rebuilt and you need a test track. my layout is permanently up and always ready to run if you need a test track for your stock any evening let me know. I'm only ten minutes away from you and it would only be fair as you've showed me yours I would certainly oblige by showing you mine Dan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by the weathering, is D839 ex works Phil? D839 was a late survivor in maroon Liam and managed to stay looking pretty respectable until she went blue in June 1970 - Andy Y has set up a great resource at http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/page/index.html/_/articles/reference-articles/class43 which will give you all the gen and also a link to the pinterest gallery of wonderful pictures D846 is interesting...when blue initially logo over nameplate like Strongbow, then standard blue - no central lamp iron at one end too Cheers Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Many thanks Dan Was good to see you and yes please would love to visit your layout some time.... Phil If you do visit Dan, Phil, you will see a her nice Warship that I sold him. I later regretted selling it, and I've had to go out and buy a replacement, good grief, how to do money.

RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted July 31, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) Can I add these shots - I did pass by AJ first thing when all was quiet and later in the day but Phil seemed to be dealing with operator error - I thought it best to move swiftly by after a good look at the Warships and Brush 2 on show..

Liam Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 If the operator was wearing a reddish coloured jumper then I was probably responsible for the error! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted July 31, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 31, 2017 If the operator was wearing a reddish coloured jumper then I was probably responsible for the error! I couldn't possibly comment... ok then.....it was something about "route selection"...leading to a completely mysterious short (obviously) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I couldn't possibly comment... ok then.....it was something about "route selection"...leading to a completely mysterious short (obviously) That was probably something to do with that Blue Pullman.

RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted July 31, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) Well - the owner is not immune to operator error believe me! The layout is now back home and tucked up in the garage - this is where it stood over the weekend.... Had a Luton van with tail lift on hire - why on earth have I not had one before, so much easier. And a big vote of thanks to Pheaton for all his help with the delivery/collection arrangements Looking at this bin which was empty when we started it must have been a good weekend!

RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted August 6, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 6, 2017 Toddington was a great session Redditch show next - but before then its filming in the garden next weekend, forecast looking as good as it might be.... This will be the last filming with the layout in its current format, after Redditch its the Swansea show then that's it for this version, bring on Abbotswood Mark 2 Phil 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted August 6, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 6, 2017 (edited) Cheers Andy I know I get a huge amount of inspiration off here - glad to hear that that I can return some If our filming goes as planned it will be an epic.....and will be sad to decommission what has brought us a great deal of pleasure, but that will only give us incentive for MK2 I guess Kind regards Phil Edited August 6, 2017 by Phil Bullock 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted August 7, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 7, 2017 Heres some more motive power Was City of Truro the only loco to go from green with TOPs style numbers https://www4.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=rPb4v71e&id=6B02F694153361F49D9EF380BF0B9368DAE9F9F3&thid=OIP.rPb4v71esM0oFPsMyGt3VQEsDr&q=1660+city+of+truro&simid=607986857620474250&selectedIndex=3&ajaxhist=0 To blue with earlier seriffed numbers? https://www4.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=vOfOODUB&id=9E88CE62225E53F5E5518D951F84C301A01B2893&thid=OIP.vOfOODUBzo0Q75gIJKLX-AEsDI&q=1660+city+of+truro&simid=608015432015809569&selectedIndex=24&ajaxhist=0 Phil 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted August 7, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 7, 2017 How much, if any, of mk1 will be re used on mk2? Mike. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted August 7, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 7, 2017 Probably not too much of the infrastructure Mike Track .... might reuse in fiddle yard Signals, signal box, telegraph poles ....for sure. Considering servos instead of tortoises to avoid boards having to be so deep, but hopefully rest of electronics will relocate Will have to completely reprogramme ECoS routes of course....took ages to get them right. And power districts too.... So did you say you are at Wedding in UK this weekend? Phil 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And power districts too.... So did you say you are at Wedding in UK this weekend? Phil You mustn't forget one obligatory thing Phil - the 'box cat! I'm guessing the track layout will be the same as mk1? And just out of curiosity, did Wickham trolleys ever go to Abbotswood Junction? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted August 7, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 7, 2017 Ah very true Liam! And the squirrel, white and other rabbits and badgers too.... Track layout may be more prototypical - no up loop - as Worcester chord will give more flexibility, may replace it with the prototypically accurate trailing siding Am sure Wickhams must have passed through - and will do again once I get it back together with the chip in!

RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted August 8, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 8, 2017 The wedding is in Blackpool, regrettably not a nippable distance from Yourself, currently in 55D enjoying some torrential Yorkshire sunshine, makes a change from the 40+ temperatures at home!

RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted August 8, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 8, 2017 Ah yes its a trek .....once had a girlfriend in Blackpool, went up on an Adex to see her. 3 x 117s all the way! Was it worth it? Hope the rain stays in Yorkshire on Saturday.... Phil 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
