  1. I was worried whether you would go through plat four at Bristol Parkway as per my trust screen. 3Q21 I think it was, change ends at Severn Tunnel East, nice green run through my patch - although you had the Up Sleeper on your tail up from Temple Meads.
  2. Dear Heljan please don't print double arrows ! The sods don't come off, and are to big for etched replacements to cover.
  3. I pre ordered the special twin pack at the very start of the process, but I've received zero in the form of communication can NRM advise please?
  4. Some stuff from 'The Range' DIY store it was recommended by one of the lads on the O Gauge Facebook Group, good stuff to be fair I just need to mask correctly next time. On a side note, has anyone brought a 60 from Hattons since Xmas - are the issues with running and body damage/marks still slipping out, I'm considering another one but really don't want to have to mess about returning it or driving up there again to quality control them.
  5. My only problem was I didn't mask very well so ended up with a little bit not varnished, no effects to the paint work though.
  6. There wasn't any live wire West of Maidenhead to test them on until the last week or so.
  7. There seems to be a prevailing theme of "I'll build it if you pay for it" coming through. A way to clear the over optimistic initial release announcements seems to be crowdfunding (again), you need to decide whether your a producer like Bachman and Hornby or a middle man producer via third party commission or indeed crowdfunding ? Also why do you feel the need in official communications to pick at other manufacturers? Not very professional, it's also a huge turn off for potential customers.
  8. I’m told by one of the project team that once Filton four tracking comes in December 18, there will be a bi di option all the way from Severn Tunnel to BPW via the UP & DN tunnel lines, also a new UP direction move from the UP Filton at Abbey Wood which will also UP trains to access the new P1 at BPW from the UP Filton.
  9. The yard is so infrequently used these days there no operational lose as far as I can see.
  10. Bristol Parkway Platform one was signed into full passenger use in the early hours of this morning, along with the DN BPW Relief this will now be he normal route for trains bound for Bristol, with South Wales services going via platform 2.
  11. Bristol Parkway Platform 1 was signed into full passenger use at 0500hrs this morning.
  12. It’ll be four Sidings set in a cutting, think Carlisle station Sidings. There’ll also be a “mainline” unconnected on scene running infront, this will also off scene access to the stabling point.
  13. Any idea the numbers of the other ones in the line up ?
