Kev, I did a similer shot on St Budoc,          see attached pic

It's a good angle. It makes the loco and layout feel more real, I think, because it's the angle you'd be looking from in real life.

Great photo's, Andy. I really like the low angle shot of the pannier coming under the bridge.

Trebudoc is looking superb.

Well you've already got enough loco's.

Sounds like a great plan, Steve.

I look forward to seeing your progress.

Worn out =  Andy.

And I bet you thought you'd have a rest when you retired!

Keep up the good work.

Can you tell what it is yet?

Great video chaps. I'm looking forward to seeing more.

START A NEW PROJECT IN A BIG ROOM,        

Or extend Trebudoc again, perhaps?

That is very nice. Great photo.

That is a truely stunning model you've produced there, 30801.

You should be proud of your work.

I have wondered how many of these hatchet jobs were finished and are actually working on a layout. Sadly I don't have room to run mine, but all in all, I thought it was not a bad kit.

They pop up on ebay quite frequently.

Hi Polly,

That's a great track plan you've come up with. I can't see anything glaringly wrong.

I'm looking forward to when you start building the layout.

The UK Model Shop Directory does list an address and telephone number for ABS:

Yes Kev, I did notice that, thanks for posting the pics it has helped both me, and others thinking about changing to O Gauge.

 

Come on Jeff, have you seen this and Kevs wonderful pics.

 

Andy

You're most welcome Andy. Always good to be of use!

That is about what I figured but I am 2 inches shorter that the 36 inches you have there. I should still be O.K. but it will be VERY TIGHT.

 

Andy.

It should fit fine, if you look closely you'll see that there's a good two inches of the track sticking off the end of the bench.

I think 34 inches for each road is still very usable.

I've just had a little play on my workbench with a 36 inch length of Peco track. As you can see, my 57xx Pannier and Collet Brake Compo fit easily.

There's even scope to add a fitted van to make a short mixed train.

Hi Andy,

I've been having simular problems with planning my future 7mm layout. There was at one point a chance I might squeeze in a three coach set, but I've had to settle for two.

A single coach, something like a Collet Brake Composite or an ex Slip Coach, would be adequate for the passenger service on a quiet country branch.

How long are the roads in your fiddle yard?

Trebudoc is really coming along nicely.

You have a great eye for photo's. All the photo's above are excellent.

What do you have planned with regards to passenger stock?

I always enjoy building ABS kits. Wish I'd picked up a couple more at Reading.

Like the Cloth Wagon but never heard of Majestic Models, are they still in business? I have not been able to find a web site for them, can anyone provide me with further details if they are still in business and hopefully contact details. Of course a list of the models they produce would be really good.

 

Thanks,

The list of traders on the Gauge O Guild website (you don't have to be a member to view the traders websites section) doesn't list a website, just a contact e-mail address: george.dawson@btinternet.com

Great work as always, Andy.

The bridge looks superb.

Stunning work as always Ken.

The loco has a great presence about it.

Something small like the sheds that were at Hullavington, Little Somerford and Wotten Basset is probably the sort of building you're after. All of these sheds were brick built though. The old shed at Hullavington is now used as storage by the coal merchant who occupies that part of the old station site. This pic might give you some help with regard to size and style. Perhaps something simular in stone or tin (which ever you decide on) .

I can see what you mean Andy.

However, that particular building appears to be a supersize pagoda hut. Which would have been used for general storage, lamp room, equiptment lock up or a bicycle shed, rather than a goods shed.

Manx exiled Geordie enjoys things GWR stylee,

Neil, perhaps you can make that the next YouTube sensation?

The toad looks excellent, Castle.

1466 looks happy, the fundraising must be going well!

 

Hello Andy, l have found part 2, my layout 'Marlbury' all the scenic's done by you.

The helicopter ride is making me airsick!

A very nice little layout. Andy's scenic do look good.
