Or Ebay...? Might get more on there.

Go on...

Yes, though I could run it on the floor in the loft, but though wrong!

Glad you like it that much mate! I really enjoy using it too. I have used it more than Compton Martin! Which is sort a shame.

I would love too! It's just getting there. No one in the family will be willing to take me, not there thing.

What new loco?

It is in a little village call Compton Martin in Somerset, Google Map might give more help to it's location. It was held in restaurant/function rooms there, where I work. Great place.

Thanks again Neil! I plan to organize another Compton Martin Model Railway Exhibition this coming summer (around July/Augs). At the moment 17 layout say they would like to come! And as of the moment like last year it will be FREE ENTRY! Not sure if I will be taking Compton Quay to this one, but I will be definitely taking my main exhibition layout Compton Martin (see link http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/77930-compton-martin-00-gauge/). Here is a video of last years event (the first ever) all arranged by me, we had 7 layout and Signals Models Trade Stand. Many of the layouts came for quite a distance to get to the exhibition including Poole, Birmingham and even Coventry! Next year two layout plan to come from Yorkshire and even Scotland! Here's a video of last years event, featuring some a few brief clips of Compton Quay being operated by a friend, as I was operating Compton Martin. Hope you enjoy!

Thanks Neil! It sure was a fun layout to create and of course operate! Great for all my little shunters and tank engines! :locomotive:Ironically because of it's small size and being very easy to transport, I'm sure it will be going to more exhibition than my main exhibition layout Compton Martin, which I worked my socks off on! Will need a big car for that one though!

Whilst half way through construction on Compton Martin my main exhibition layout (Click here to see topic on it http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/77930-compton-martin-00-gauge/) I realised that it would not be totally complete for the first exhibition I had planned for it. Not only that the layout was slightly larger than first planned and although it would fit in an average sized car, it would most likely have trouble getting it in my first car (when I pass my test that is ). We where having a bit of a clear out when I stumbled a cross an old broken Ikea book shelf which due to be thrown out. Instantly looking at one of the shelves I thought "That would make a prefect base for a micro layout"! So I save some of the shelves and some piece of the thin MDF backing. I always liked the idea of a micro layout which could fit on a shelf or in this case can be transported in one section, easily sorted and could stand on a ironing board at exhibitions! I instantly knew what sort of setting I wanted the layout to have, Dock Side. Living near Bristol I have always had fond memories of the Bristol Harbour Railway, also Chris Nevard's Brewhouse Quay was a massive inspiration. The main base for the layout and the piece that separates the fiddle yard is 1 (and a bit) of the shelves from the old book shelf, whilst the back scenes and fiddle yard sides are made from the thin MDF back pieces I saved. The layout consists of two dock side sidings, with a low-relief warehouse, dock gate house and an engine room building (which is used as a pumping house for the dock itself). After the success of the cobbles on Compton Martin's Goods Yard I decided that the whole layout would be cobbled, giving it that old industrial revolution feel. I named it Compton Quay after so many people asked on YouTube from watching my updates on Compton Martin if I would name it after it, so Compton Quay was born! Compton Quay has been to two exhibitions so far, the first being the East Somerset's Models and Miniatures Event back in September of 2013 and of course the Compton Martin Model Railway Exhibition I organized on November the 3rd. Here are a few videos of the layout including some of the updates whilst building it and some of the layout in action at exhibitions or at home (I will take some pictures of it showing it in more detail when I get it down next). Hope you enjoy! Updates Exhibitions Running

Thanks mate. Yes, I hope to get to the WSR gala if I can (maybe I could meet you there if I do). LOL! Bodmin is a bit too far for me at the moment, but we will see if I am ever in the area. I just want to run trains!

Thanks you ever so much Matt! LOL! Yes, will have my work cut out. Should of never started on the yard, have not don't nothing to it. Not sure if it will ever complete it. Yes, let hope so with the locos! Lots of work ahead!

LOL! Thanks mate! Afraid so. No more updates on the yard for a while too. Should of never ripped it up! Have not even made a start for it yet, oh well. Have to think of what to film too! As I have no videos to upload too!

Thanks mate! Back to the powders! Quite a bit of pressure on doing 3 locos!

The commission was collect today by a very, very happy owner! He was over the moon with the work I had done! He was so impress he brought with him another box of stock to be weathered, including... . 1x Bachmann Collett Goods (Rod Tender) BR Early . 1x Bachmann 45xx BR Early . 1x Bachmann BR Standard 5MT BR Early . 1x Bachmann BR Grey 16 Ton Mineral Wagon . 1x Bachmann 12 Ton Fish Van BR Early . 2x Dapol 12 Ton Banana Vans BR Bauxite . 1x Hornby 20 Ton Steel Sided Mineral Wagon Consolidated Fisheries Limited Back to the weathering powders!

Thanks mate! LOL! Mine too! I wish I could keep them too! But they are back off home tomorrow! Let's hope the owner likes them!

With the commission now complete, I though with all the hard work involved I would give the Super D and the wagons a quite test on the layout. Here's a video of the complete train in action! Hope you enjoy!

This post maybe slightly off topic, but a friend of mine is selling his Modern Images Exhibition Layout. It has been exhibited at the Compton Martin Model Railway Exhibition back in November of last year, alongside Compton Martin (it features in my video in the previous post). Here is link to his video advertising the layout and a link to his Ebay page. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBERBC3VJnc http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261367681819?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 I hope the layout goes to a loving home and all the best to Jack on his next Exhibition Layout, which I hope to see at the next Compton Martin Exhibition!

Thanks Daniel! Me too! It had it's first outing back in November at the real Compton Martin. I working in a restaurant there and I organised a model railway exhibition for first time exhibitors (please I talk to on YouTube). The show was a massive success! With 7 layouts turning up from all around the country (just to come to this little village)! My local model shop even put on a trade stand! Plus entry to the public was completely FREE! I am all ready planning the next Compton Martin Model Railway Exhibition for this coming summer and I all ready have 17 layout wanting to come (one is even planning to come down from Scotland!). For fingers crossed it will be an even bigger success than the last! Here my video of the event, showing Compton Martin in action, plus all the other layouts.

My second picture video of the commission. A running video of the whole fleet will be coming soon!

No problem! I am quick off the mark on YouTube. Mine was at that angle too, until it fell off! It was not really on the windscreen, but on the part of the body bellow it. Just hope I can get mine sorted.

Thanks again Matt! Just film the rake on the layout today, with the Super D at the helm! Must say, they look superb on there! Just wish they where mine to keep! Will have to get around to doing my stock, but I probably won't find the time with more on the way and of course the yard still in pieces. Well as the old saying goes the Cobbler Goes Bare Foot!

Your video just popped up on my YouTube subscription box! Wow! It sounds amazing! You have done an excellent job!

Just a quick photo line-up of the commission (1x Loco and 18x Wagons in total). Hope to do a running video of them before the owner collects them. Hope you like em!

Thanks Eddie! I was extremely pleased with that! Took quite a while achieve, but really added to the overall effect!
