hi Jason when are you commimg up to see the nutters  i can ask nev to see if you can join them  i think you would be happy

layout is looking brill pitty its all swept away now

i have ordered a few are they doing the push pull ones anyone know

Another ivatt what was a local one was 46437 it was a regular one and it also went up on a special

The layout looks good Jason hope you are keeping well you will have to come to bacup to see the nutters lol

By gum that layout has progressed I am very impressed

How was the pics and DVD were they any use to you Jason

just to let the people who was helping me with my 00 stove r what keeps falling off the rails

well i have glued the swinging carriers on both sides and i have elongated the middle carrier to go up an down .

tried the thing on my layout and 6 hours latter its still on rails not come off once .

thank you for your help and advice everyone who advised me on the stove r

a very happy axelcounter (mark )

the pach on my head is when i was a tech for vauxhall and i had an ageument with a vectra gearbox the thing fell on my head

and if you look close you can see the blood went all over the white wall

that was about 6 years ago

and i am not any good with ballasting ether lol

by the way jason you must have some skill building your buildings not like me but it is looking really good

you are right they have been around since the 1800 acording to my folks. someone tried to stop this a couple of years ago the same time around when a jam company stop doing them bagdes

^{hello sandside your layout has real look to bacup and i will send you the pics when my scanner comes back also i am not a co nut lol its just a good reson to get merry lol}

^{but you have done a good job on it}

^{i have some pics of bacup from the signal box and some of the signal box my granddad was a signaller there i built bacup years ago and sold it (wish i still had it ) also i know a bit about the area i was brought and still live in bacup (someone has to lol ) i use to go though the tunnel before they bricked it up if you need any pics let me know}

there is bad news for the signallers too. network rail want to shut all boxes and put up 12 new rocs by 2024

when they do sort out the blackpool line they first have to put colour lights in because at the mo they have semaphore signals .

dose he have a death wish in one pic he is holding his camera while a container train passes him prize pratt. i had one lastnight trying to stand on top of the barriers while the steam train was going past thing is i told him to get off and he said that the barriers are in my way of the steam train. To make it worse he was about 50-60 years old he should know better
