This is great, A simple and effective layout and the weathering of the stock is spot on

Thanks for the reply. A little bit of cutting required then.

Really good job, excellent, I do not have the 3d prints but have been working on a conversion. This is really well done though, what did you use for your glazing? Cheers

Only issue I've seen now is the yellow is looking a little wonky to the non driving end. I shall carry on working on it this evening.

Good Morning, There has been some movement on stock for Weaver Hill. The main project has been a collaboration and should be running on Making Tracks 2 at Chester very shortly. It is slightly delayed due to life getting in the way but I feel it is now at a stage which is acceptable for an update on here. The ends and doors have been filled using 3d printed part from Phil Moreton, who is excellent with CAD and has made modelling so much easier. The only other project which is waiting in the wings is to sort all the board joints out to improve running. Like anything there is always something we can be chipping away at. Stock is high on the list at the moment. We want to try and ensure most of the stock running at Redditch at least has a driver in it.

Evening Seen the layout for the first time , well impressed . Rich

Evening As with other comments , a very enjoyable show , all good layouts . But .............. For me "Oak road "a very good layout , even down to the Graffiti on the MOD train , for me the top marks . well worth the wait to see it other than on " You Tube " Thanks to everyone

Good Morning, A few photos from the open day yesterday.

Good Evening, Only a few turned up today but I think that was down to the heat. Overall an enjoyable afternoon down the club and we shall he planning another one in October. Benjamin

Morning Jim I hope the drinks went well last night and maybe see you down there later. Benjamin

Morning, Just a reminder that it is our open day tomorrow. Benjamin

Day Two at Buxton, a slight backdating due to failures, so another xc service has turned up.

Weaver Hill gave it's usually performance, terrible to start and when the stock settled down it improved. The pendolino suffered and has failed so has been returned to the workbench this evening and should be in operation tomorrow. We are looking forward to another day playing trains tomorrow

Day 1 down, The usual early morning running issues but as always it sorted itself out. Look forward to day 2

Morning all, Weaver Hill is all set up for the show today. We shall be running the same stock as we did at Portsmouth. More photos to follow

Evening, Weaver Hill is all set up now and ready to go in the morning, See you there. We shall be running in a 2003-5ish guise

Evening All Weaver Hill now packed in van , all gone in this time !!!!!. Hope to see you over the weekend /

I can forgive the three coach MK3 sets but that black and orange poster :o. I look forward to your updates

Trident Trains at Nantwich (Dagfields) had two surplus when I visited yesterday

Just a reminder of our open day coming up in July

Richard 3D printed the wagons, I can have a look and see if I had any other photos of them. I am not sure I took many the 90s taking most of my attentions. I'll give Richard a call and if you want I can pass on your contact details if you drop them in a message to me. I am glad you enjoyed the layout at Stafford, the pendos have suffered in the years they have been racing around, the picks up just recently being changed on one of the units. When constructing the layout the whole aim was to build something that is never seen at an exhibition and I think we have mastered that, well Pete must of liked it as he copied it and scaled it up, even we had mock Shugborough.

A few photos of Weaver Hill which shall be attending the show.
