ASHFORD AIMREC Show this weekend in Kent
MossdaleNGauge replied to Modelrailwayquest's topic in Exhibitions
Thanks for including Mossdale Road. My “fifteen minutes of fame” was very quickly squashed, no idea who David Campbell is that was mentioned in the program and the video, a minor typo by AIMREC. -
ASHFORD AIMREC Show this weekend in Kent
MossdaleNGauge replied to Modelrailwayquest's topic in Exhibitions
Had a great time this weekend displaying Mossdale Road for the first time. The layout and trains performed well, with Saturday being a DC day and Sunday DCC, lots of friendly chats about the trains and scenery. A good exhibition although I didn’t get to see all of it. Dave -
Modulus Control System - Pre-Ordering Is Now Open!
MossdaleNGauge replied to ScaleModelScenery's topic in Scale Model Scenery
One way to get around this is not to sell completed items but as kits for home assembly. May be get all the surface mount components fitted at the factory, leaving the end user to solder all the standard size pieces. -
The new office building by the Otford tracks that you have modelled superbly was on TV this week. In the ITV drama about the Post Office scandal it was used as the building for Futijsu’s head office. Other scenes were also in Kent, the village hall was at Pratts Bottom, and is used for an annual model railway show, Tatsfield for the Post Office/cafe and St Mary Cray High St with its large brick viaduct Dave

Seeking Dornoch station photographs
MossdaleNGauge replied to dibber25's topic in UK Prototype Questions
This is my attempt at the Dornoch station kit in N gauge, no layout for it yet, just a 27 and some mk1’s so far. -
Level crossing stupidity...
MossdaleNGauge replied to Katier's topic in UK Prototype Discussions (not questions!)
Just watched the latest episode of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, it’s about safety on American railways and their level crossings. It should appear on YouTube soon, or on catch up on VirginMedia. On the list of priorities for running their railways, safety is in fourth place. The show ends with a very well made Thomas style remake featuring a huge crash with HO gauge trains. -
The unit is probably supplied with the links not attached as that is the safest way, the links can then be fitted as required. Yours looks secondhand as it has signal number, so I suspect the technician removed the links when it was decommissioned and kept the links as spares. It does look good on your wall, I could do with a half size one outside my room’s door. Dave.

The returns are commoned on terminals 2, 4 & 6, any of these can be used. The lamp selection terminals are 1 & 5 depending on which aspect is required.

It was good to see it tackling the climb to the North Downs in the sun, but just a little bit too dark on its return. http://The Armistice Kentish Belle London Victoria - Sheerness at Knockholt and St Mary Cray Junction https://youtu.be/HUgZ6HQckU4

More so, if you can find an empty seat in the old first class part of a 465/9 -

Nothing that new around here, the 465 Networkers are now 31 years old with no replacement planned. Photo from here https://www.fromthemurkydepths.co.uk/2022/10/10/southeastern-networker-trains-reach-30-years-old-this-week2/ -
Freight on London Underground - late 1960s?
MossdaleNGauge replied to Alex TM's topic in London Underground
Sorry, new to this thread. Anything with a short wheelbase would fail to be detected by the track circuit whenever it went over the original style of delta track circuit which needed an isolated short length of section rail for its own purposes. Hope the picture explains this. -
West Highland Line train formations 1980's
MossdaleNGauge replied to 03060's topic in Railways of Scotland
There are some examples from 1980 of train formations in Michael Palin’s trip to Kyle and back. https://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/great-railway-journeys--confessions-of-a-train-spotter/znc7cqt -

Kyle of Lochalsh station building drawings

There’s no gaps in the conductor rails and no cables from trackside to the conductor rails, so I would guess they are signalling rooms.

A few historical questions about the Circle Line
MossdaleNGauge replied to Cowley 47521's topic in London Underground
3: I am probably better placed than most to answer this one. In about 2016 I was part of a group surveying the interface between the offices and the station in preparation for the offices of 55 Broadway being sold. Lots of walking around some very concealed and unused corners of the building and saw more of it than I had ever seen before. In the basement of the offices is the boiler room and there was a disused fire escape from it that led on to the very eastern end of the westbound platform beyond the place where passengers can access. There was no other connection between the two, apart from some cables passing through a room. -

I have a book about Eltham, I used to live there, but there is no mention of anything milk related except for one photo. -
Unusual reasons for delays...
MossdaleNGauge replied to Nick C's topic in UK Prototype Discussions (not questions!)
I returned from Catania, Sicily a couple of months ago, the direct train to Rome was delayed by ninety minutes due to a track inspection following an earlier earthquake. This meant the train missed the ferry at Messina so we arrived in Rome three hours late, making it a thirteen hour journey. There was no on train catering as we were warned but we had stocked up in preparation for this. -
He should put it on EBay as a Private listing, no one will see it without a link to it
