      Looking forward to seeing the finished one, maybe a video on it?

      Yeah I will do a video on it although its no where near finished at the moment. Im still building Metcalfe kits and tweeking plans :)

    Fantastic work on the overhead catanery. I have just started a small project which is based roughly on the Woodhead line although nearer the Manchester Piccadilly side than yours. One of the biggest questions I was asking myself was how do I get a realistic overhead system. What you have created looks just like the real thing and your right about the variety. When ever I travel on the line I always find myself looking at the overhead equipment as its totally different from other lines. Keep up the fantastic work as I will be following with interest Sutty

      I'm hoping to get a Heljan container crane, eventually!

    3. Sutton Junction

      Sutton Junction

      good luck with that, they only get more expensive on ebay :)

    4. Swifty11

      Swifty11

      I'm hoping Heljan will re release the model.

  11. Sutton Junction

    Nice to hear Virgin has been saved for now, lets hope the government make a sensible and realistic choice next time round. Ha who am I kidding forgot what a shower the Tories are, couldnt organise a piss up in a brewery!!!

      Maybe an official dictatorship would suit us better? At least we know where we stand then because at the moment we have a voice but no one listens :)

      Time to read the forum guidelines about keeping away from politics, I think.

      Sutton Junction

      Its only in jest, nothing serious :)

  12. Sutton Junction

    Sod it I need cheering up, going to buy both new EWS and DBS 67s by Hornby, a Bachmann Class 150, some Peco points & flexi track and maby even a platform for Sutton Junction!!!

      Ha, ha, ha! Almost decided on my xmas list! I think I might get the chiltern version on top of the EWS and DBS ones as it could be a good addition to the fleet if I de branded it. I might get my mate James to do it as apparently the letters are little ###### to get off

      Oh man, I must be careful not to embark on a similar monster purchase. LOL!

      If only I was older and I had a job! Trust me my first pay check will be spent in Hattons!

  13. Sutton Junction

      Swifty11

    2. Horsetan

    Im seriously tempted to sell all my 00 gauge stuff and start afresh with N gauge!!!

    2. Swifty11

      Swifty11

      Well, you have accumulated a large 00 gauge fleet and to model a new gauge? Could be difficult and costly. Anyway you said you were doing a 00 gauge mini project. And I'm starting very soon on my new Layout Portland Road.

    3. Sutton Junction

      Sutton Junction

      Im still continuing with 00, but might start a small gauge collection too. Best of both worlds then :)Im going to start drawing proper plans for the project soon. Got all my ideas in my head just need to work out if its actually possible with the space im going to use :)

    4. Swifty11

      Swifty11

      I'm some how going to have to fit a 10ft layout in a gap that will just about fit it in, but I have got to shift loads of old toys and a 6 by 4 00 gauge analouge layout which has been partially stripped and there is no chance of managing to break it up, got a idea but may not work. It will be a big squeaz!

  16. Sutton Junction

    Finally bought the last 2 coaches to make a full Virgin HST rake :)

    1. Swifty11

      Swifty11

      Nice, are you posting a video, I'm looking at a Heljan 86, my DVT rake is now upto 6

    2. Sutton Junction

      Sutton Junction
