Ralph

nice set of renewals/updates, like your tribute to penlee lifeboat. 

Cheers, thought I recognised the livery, Can see it's a DAF now, should have looked harder. 

47 looks great, 

a super & busy layout, love the scrap yard, 

is this black & white Scania tractor leaving the yard by the security point a Westfields of Truro vehicle, livery looks very familiar ??

great set of photo's like the bus rally & burger van, looks like one customer eats there a lot 

nice track repair, love the Western leaning in to the curve.

great video's,

have you got a 'drivers eye view' of the complete layout run ? 

big forks looks good, no harm in being over specced for a heavy lifting job. 

a quick google search found this video on youtube 

another type here

another set of super photo's, love the Warship & Western close up's, 

great atmosphere, last one you did a good job with both hands full.

smashing photo's , a great layout  

nice bridge, 

like the latest photo's looking really good.

like the new MPD looking very nice

looks good moving forward very nicely 

smashing photo's very atmospheric 

Terry, any more on the houses you were building ? 

nice set of photo's like the line up of 66's & the 70.

looks good with just the layout lights on, great shots.

great job on those wagons, 

restored trackwork looks just right, good to read the Western's are behaving now.

what a great layout, love the sleeping car rake. 

Thanks for the short history of the EM1 & 2's I remember reading about the 77's being sold to holland.

 

Thanks Ralph, glad you like it! As you can probably tell im a big fan of the class 76's! They look very dated but to me at least very characterfull. The technology they used at the time they were made was very advanced inspite of how they appeared, just a shame they were so quickly overshadowed and outdated by 25kv AC power

 

They definitely have lots of character, Am I correct in thinking they were only used on the woodhead route ? or did they venture further.

a great layout, like the double junction & OHE, never been upto that part of the rail network, so you've done a great job of capturing the character I think.always thought the 76's looked ancient 

now added to my follow list.
