Hi  Manna       great layout  and posts   I was born & brought up in Mill Hill so i am very interested in the Edgware Branch my uncle started his working life as an office boy for a coal merchant in Edgware goods yard  he ended up as the chief accountant for the CEGB  !!   my next project when I finish !!!  the RBL  will be  woodside park  in  1960  as I want to make it an exhibiton ready layout .  could be really interisting now we have RTR J50      N2 and the various   first gen   diesels 

However could anyone reading this post  tell me how they shunted the yards at  woodside park and totteridge when there was a 20 min interval tube service throught the day ??

WOW

I have been wrestling with my conscience about buying one of these as a) I can't run this on my home layout (the royal branch line ) and b) the railway budget is so overspent it makes the national debt look like an irrelevance   but on the journey up to warley i reasoned that a) Bachmann wouldn't ever make a KVWR  version ever again   b) I did actually travel on the footplate when I was a volunteer on said railway in my teenage years  c)  they were on special offer    and d) I would be paying the ebay bandits a fortune in coming years if I wasn't brave now .   ( see midland pullman )

So  I took the plunge    Chris Nevard   offered to give it a run on his excellent layout on the stand but I demurred preferring  to do this at home      wise move  if I had I'd have been there all day and not seen this years excellent exhibition   ( is it me or was it much better this year than last )  

what have Bachmann done ????   this loco is so smooth it's unreal       I actully couldn't belive it   so I ran my 64xx the latest loco I have from Bachmann which I thought was really good  against it   the USA  is another step on  and the motion is true poetry   what a lovely model   well done to all at Model Rail

when I win the lottery I'm going to get it sound fitted
