Following several requests, well this one, here's a double header with mogul action returning to Hackney Yard with a mixed freight including quite a few empties.This view is handy as I'm going to upgrade the scenics here after visiting the Green Scene stand at Railex.

Really good Steve.In fact the only detail I don't like is the double chimney on the King.

Mikkel.If you want a 43xx fix albeit in BR black take a look at Barry Tens blog here http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/blog/257/entry-11669-nearing-the-finish-line-toplights-and-bow-end-stock/ Bloody marvellous modelling.

I can do that move but whats the correct lamp code for it ? We're drunk on the GWR.

How about the newly released Hornby Star pulling Bachmann toplights announced for 2014.

I'll see what I can rustle up but in the meantime two more of 7804 ...

Does your missus know about your dodgy video collection ?

You have as much chance of seeing an Eastern engine on here as I have of seeing a Castle on Gilberts 'Peterborough North'. but if my 3864 comes back from overhaul in Margate this week, you'll definitely see that.On a freight..

Of course but what motive power shall I use as I don't want to upset young 'Spams.

I haven't got a Garrett or a pacific old chum.92220 is my biggest but I'll stick with my 4 6 0s [Hall/Manor] for now...

Not always dear boy, not always !

Ok then a few more...

Looks like it going to be good.

Cruel in close up those Comet B sets.Nice curly handles but I'm wincing and must be mad to show them.....

I hope this thread doesn't become a place for silly spoonerisms.The last thing I want is a Kenny Everett character play on words. Is that a good or bad thing ?

Post 37 here for figures http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/10954-locomotive-driver-figures/page-2 The tree is an armature only that I added fine leaf foliage to using Woodland Scenics products.International Models used to stock them but are no longer listed on their website but are available here http://www.scaletree.com/ I could do with a few more.The trunks on them look quite realistic imo. ps It looks like those tree armatures are no longer manufactured.Thats a shame.

A few more of 7804 'Baydon Manor' on the embankment.

Well I've just got that well known scenic photographer, Teresa Green, to take a couple of the resited tree to see what it looks like.

Don't blame me Neal as I don't use Dart loco figures.A crew [Falcon] are on board now. I'm glad you like the tree move... Its a glorious sunny morning in the South Hams as we catch up with 7804 as she runs on over the embankment with a light load of a pair of E129s.Plenty of passengers on this trip.

Absolutely yes and do we have to bring that cheating ba***rd onto my thread.No turntable,imagination.Tigley Junction in reality is just my fiddle yard/storage sidings. Probably CK its the old Percy chassis built quite a few years back not by me either.A crap runner,no surprise there but only shown to compare the Bachy offering.

I'm worried for the new release of the Star class as well to be honest.I have two on order. ps I've moved the largish tree to lower down in the scene.

I've just thought of you Spams [scary I know] when I saw this 7mm china clay wagon in the gallery. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/gallery/image/50605-north-and-rose-3-plank-china-clay-wagon-ex-gwr/

Here they are again as promised.Yes I know you seen them before but not this close up.Mallard60022 has also made a pair [2011] and the link shews them in brass and their build.Very nice too.The photos don't shew my coupling between both coaches.Its the BB type available through Eileens.The livery is a bit too early for my layout now but they weren't when I built them. The whitemetal bars on the bogies really need replacing with wire as they've been distorted with using them. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/31857-gwr-b-set-diagram-e129-x-2/ https://www.eileensemporium.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=eny_fly_default.tpl&product_id=6217&category_id=322&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=9
