Mark 37

Thanks Carl, I'm liking this thread even more. Large Logo, the best livery out their although I've found a soft spot for Loadhaul 37's recently. (don't tell anyone). I hope your going to cover the painting step by step? I've a Bachy 37/0 body I wanted to turn into a LL livery, but I found the masking an absolute pain in the neck to do. I've since decided to use it for West Coast Railways maroon (easier to mask). Regards, Mark

I've been watching with interest and been waiting for the painting stage. In case I missed it, what livery are you doing? Best regards, Mark

Oh come on, they say it will be well packaged. lol I'd want it hand delivered and for them to do the work using it when requiered. Mark

Thanks Craig, I had a look on their site, couldn't find it for a price. The only thing I have seen close to it (as I want this kind of bridge) is an old Lima design made of plastic which would probaly be better as I need it for a curved section. Again I've been looking for one or two of these for around a year now. Last seen in 1997 catolouge I have. I guess I'll just need to keep looking. Regards, Mark

I think it was last week or the week before a Bachmann intermodel ASDA pack went for £47.53+postage. I put my pre order into Rails for £24.50. Mark

Well he's selling two, one £12 and the one you quoted. Same picture for both. Do you think they'll notice the price difference themselves? Mark

Did anyone notice the flangeway snow ploughs (£25) sell for £36+£4 postage tonight. Last night a Bachmann Royal Mail TPO (£30) sold for £55+£5 postage. Does no one actually look at retailers anymore? Best of it was there was a weathered TPO selling for £27 buy now. Absolutely Nuts! Mark

Great progress, I'm following with great interest and looking forward to painting the loco. I've held onto a Hornby RF split head and have been thinking what I can do with it. Sold all other DC locos ages ago and forgot about this one when we changed over to DCC, might give it a bash when I decide what livery I want. Great insperation. Regards, Mark

Will do. I hope I can make it to one of them. Best regards, Mark

Hi Mark, Looking fantastic. Would love to see it in the flesh (one day may be). The trees do look good. I'm nursing seamoss just now. Got about 30 of them growing just now, just babies though. I could do with some of that sunshine your on about. lol Best regards, Mark

I really like this layout. I just wondered if you built the bridge in the last image or is it in production by a company? Thanks, Mark

I agree with you Ozzyo, why not end the auction? Mark

You'll find it HERE 8th item down . Best regards, Mark

It does look good! I have been looking at the Knightwing wood load kit. Has anyone used these to any effect? Many thanks, Mark

I really like the bridge Mark. I have spent the last week searching the web for a bridge I would like to add to my layout. I have noticed a large amount of bridges built to the same design as yours, but on my search I came across these images collapsed bridge . Some will have undoubtedly seen it before, but it was new to me and maybe others. Best regards, Mark

Well here is my humble controbution to this thread. We only have three at the moment. I apologise for the fuctions not being in the correct order. This driving experience is all new to me. A class 47 Zimo DCC sound (Bachy Windsor Castle Ltd Edition) only ever run for this video. Fans removed and with a bass enhanced speaker. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5Mn646fhG0 A class 37 SWD sound (now sporting 37401 Mary Queen of Scots large logo body). The first half is with standard speaker, the second half of the video has standard speaker and a bass reflex mounted in the tanks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZF2LW3lFOQE A class 57 SWD DCC sound (Virgin livery). This has also had the fans removed with just the standard LokSound speaker mounted in a blue tack sound chamber. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESPqjGMQD50 All the best for now, Mark

Just got the mag yesterday and this was the first article I read and a very enjoyable read it was too. Great layout as said in other posts. So what's the next layout going to be??????? Best regards, Mark

They are fantastic photos, but there is something wrong in the photo. I've been in Edinburgh many times and I've never seen a fence that is that good, most are spread with car jacks, even if the have thirty foot drops at the other side. Now that I don't understand. :lol: Mark

Dave, Thanks for that. I've only seen them on that well known auction site going for around £65 although one 2nd hand was selling for £95 but it no. Fare play if they were £40-£50 if you want to take the chance, but you have no come back if anything is wrong. Mark

Very nice layout. I wish I had the space. The red 47 is this the Lima post office livery? Mark

Hi Dave, Did you notice a price on the limited edition InterCity-livered Ethel 1. I would like to add one to my fleet, but I stayed well clear of traders as my son would have me buying everything. lol Mark

Thanks! I'm looking forward to the read. Regards, Mark

Hi all, I found this thread as the name (Waverley West) was dropped in another thread. Thank goodness I took the time to find it. Absolutely fantastic! So much in such a relatively small space (considering what’s been fitted in). Now if you could get you to design me a layout in a third of that space……… :D ………only kidding I have a track plan for my we square of railway heaven. Although it's always subject to change, at least until saw meets wood. Any way other than congratulating a spectacular layout, I wanted to ask, Can be so bold (being a new member on the forum). Would some one please forward a copy of the article to me? :blush: I’ve not yet tracked a copy on line yet. Just call me impatient to see it. If you PM me, I’ll bounce my email address back to you. I am more than happy to pay for a copy once found, I’ll even buy some ones copy (not that you would part with it, I wouldn’t)! Anyway, Many thanks if you can help. Best regards, Mark

I have read as far as this post and I think this about sums it up for me.

(Phew..... :blink: ). Well it took all night with interuptions from the wife and the 4 year old, but I'm finally caught up with a great thread. I hope to be at MRS at the end of the month and look forward to putting a face to a name. All the best, Mark
