reminded me of the "Fast Show"

I well remember reading about Hayley Mills in an old issue of Rail magazine, it introduced me to the concept of modelling the current British Rail scene and keeping pace with what was occurring on the real network, i.e new loco liveries or freight flows etc.

You are joking I take it? try reading up on the subject matter before posting http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/71391-british-railways-ole-part-one-plain-track/

cobblers , these portals are over-scale and as i paid for them i'd expect some accuracy wouldn't you?????. I did look at adapting them but they were just too fiddly. And yes, I am aware of how tall they are meant to be and posted my response to help save someone from wasting their hard earned cash and save them the disappointment I felt. I do wonder from your reply whether these are your products, if so, you're lucky I didn't leave you negative feedback on theifbay...

"Bescot Television would like to apologise for the delay in the March edition of Pendeford Yard , We hope that you enjoy this episode and thank you for your patience"

I tried these and gave them away, they are way too tall

Thanks for coming and bringing such a wide variety of stock, all our footage will appear in the April edition of Pendeford Yard today.

Dave "Thames611" paid a visit yesterday with his rather extensive collection, so extensive we spend an hour unloading his car and sorting out his fleet before we run anything anyway here a re a few selected images from his visit as well as two wagon projects I finished for his visit.

Bang on the money

I've got the same loads Andi, I sprayed them with Halfords primer then Vauxhall silver I think. They are good value for money in my view.

tip top updates mate, always enjoy swinging by New Whitt

spiffing work Andi, love the S&T man on the gantry as well, details like that help bring your layout to life. Looking forward to seeing what else you've got up your sleeve.

Cheers Andi, the next exciting episode of Pendeford Yard today will feature more shots from this angle for your viewing pleasure Thanks for looking Simon

My new signal from Absolute Aspects arrived on Saturday and was installed on the evening, today it was wired up and tested by the S&T team

VEV is a Parkside Kit, the OAA is a Hornby body on a Cambrian/Hornby chassis and the VAA/VBA's are Bachmann wagons either repainted or with additional transfers

I've got another one that arrived today David, thankfully I've been able to find two that suit my layout and in the process I've saved some money.

Point motors now in place and working after much faffing to get them into the right spot. I also took the opportunity to tidy up my wiring. Point motors in place by Simon Barnes, on Flickr Signal now also in position, just awaiting some wiring Signal glued into place by Simon Barnes, on Flickr

Top quality Andi, just need to get a replacement chip for the one I cocked up.....
