    The cosmetics WILL be improved at some point and hopefully it will mask some of my ineptitude!

    Hi all, these pics have taken far too long to post. The fiddle is not meant to look pretty in any way whatsoever- it is purely functional. It all works nicely which came as a huge surprise to me! And, of course, increases the operational capabilities of WPL&T.

    Good evening, I wonder if someone in the know can tell me when the batch of custom plates from order date circa 29th January 2021 is likely to be posted?

    It’s surprising who the Shelby Group has on its side!

    In other developments, WPL&T has had a little bit of work done to it, namely a sector plate and 6 road fiddle yard added plus a programming / test / running in track. The layout has also had some electrical work done to allow for DC and DCC use.

    Lord Thomas was to be tested right away on the tar tank duty, taking the empties back down to the BR exchange. All of this was only possible due to the assurance from the WPL&T management that and open tab would be arranged back at the Garrison- something they are sure to regret.

    However, upon arrival at the site it was noted with horror that the Ruston 165DE had been loaded, in Birmingham, the wrong way around! After much deliberation and discussion ( cursing) Charlie Strong’s men have gotten the loco the right way around.

    Well, after night and a tractor unit changeover, at a well known motorway services, Lord Thomas has arrived at The Shelby Group’s White Peak Limestone and Tarmacadam Ltd.

    I’ll just leave this here for your consideration.

    After lengthy discussions behind the scenes, the management of the White Peak Limestone and Tarmacadam Co can reveal that the company has now been taken over by The Shelby Group. The first outward sign of this significant investment in WPL&T is the arrival at very short notice of 2 Ruston and Hornsby locomotives to help cover a major motive power shortage after the Peckett was found to require boiler repairs.

    Yet another fantastic shot and so realistic!

    It’s been another busy shift for the locos and crews of White Peak Limestone & Tarmacadam Ltd, even working on a Saturday due to a large order that must be fulfilled. The newly arrived Peckett is pressed into service following an earlier steam test and gauging run around the works and to the BR exchange.

    I got hold of a green one yesterday. I was running her in and after 20 mins she started slowing down and stopped. I picked her up and she was rather warm to say the least! Has any one else had this problem or can you advise as to what to do as dealer has no more in stock and Hornby say there would be a wait of 2 to 4 weeks for repair plus postage costs!

    Many thanks. Many thanks.

    Sorry, I should have been more clear. I meant on the model rather than prototype. Thanks though.

    Hi all, can anyone tell me the wheelbase of this little beauty please? Many thanks.
