  1. I can't wait to look down on the model from this viewpoint ! Crack on Stephen.....
  2. Severn Tunnel to Cardiff Central. Lots of bridge works going throughout the route, dozens of OHL tubes in the ground, pretty much a continueous set along Llamwern, but very hit and miss thereafter.
  3. A short visual pictorial progress report from Bristol Temple Meads to Severn Tunnel. Filton Bank Progresss Piling Gap OHL uprights in installed.
  4. There is a Freighltienr 66 doing Bristol Temple Meads to Avonmouth route learning trips via Chilton this afternoon. Currently at Clifton Down on the 1st trip. 0C65 is the head code all afternoon. Great Western
  5. I noticed earlier on a flat bed truck with circa 5 OHL uprights on in the compound at Pilning. Great Western
  6. I hope your right side of the fence taking those pictures..... Superb progress ! Great Western
  7. I don't know what's worse, Mr Fay posting mouth watering pictures of the progress on Severn Tunnel - East or yours of the mastepeices signals for said project ! Great Western
  8. First time beyond Avonmouth this year so I was very surprised to see this lot had sprung up, and Severn Beach station had gained a lovely new fence !
  9. There is a grate in the down side wall, which leads into some kind of chamber. I'm on a XX30 Wednesday off Cardiff, so hopefully the preceding HST will drag its arse through the tunnel, that usually means we get stopped on the Welshside for him to clear, so hopefully I'll be able to get a picurre of it. Great Western
  10. I've spend a good few hours looking through your "average" lol signal thread, awesome doesn't cover it ! Being a western man your proper lower quadrant signals were of particular interest, can't wait to see the miniature masterpieces for ST-E. Great Western
  11. A Freightliner coal service derailed some years ago, it was easier and cheaper to plain line it than replace the damaged sections. Great Western
  12. Great Western

    Dapol 08

    £169 too!!!!!!!!!! Great Western
  13. Hopefully these new vehicles will come in around the £50 price point? Very much looking forward to a suitable brake vehicle now........ Great Western
  14. I'm particularly looking forward to seeing this one take shape Great Western
  15. 66117 forming the 6C80 1355 departure from Machen Quarry to Westbury on Saturday 19th March 2016. Picture one is the train crossing Rhiwderin level crossing. Picture two crossing the River Ebbw at Bassaleg. Picture three arriving at Park Junction, Newport. Picture four entering Hullfield Tunnel, Newport
  16. That is an impressive train, it'd look good ST-E to Great Westen
  17. The crew doors behind the driving cab will not activate when the cab is keyed in. However if the guard is keyed in at that door they obviously can be opened, for short platforms etc. The first 158 is at Bristol Barton Hill for heavy C6 and will return in GWR Green, with new WC + tank, Wifi and power points ! Hopefully not with the SWT door modification which locks the door behind the leading cab OOU, that's a pain in the arse. Really looked forward to the Class 158 program being completed. Great Western
