  1. Nice work on the layout, looking really good! Really liking the Network Rail depot area. I think you should go with the second option for the petrol station - good luck with it, looking forward to seeing it complete. Matthew
  2. Does anyone know if the rail wheels on the Road Rail excavator are the same as the unimog, in that they are slightly too wide to run on 00 track, or are they the correct width for it? Thanks
  3. Looking Good! I was lucky enought to catch the real green HST at Westbury on Friday. The new livery does look rather smart. Looking forward to seeing the 150. Matthew
  4. I picked up the unimog at my local model railway exhibition today. That and the excavator were all I wanted from the series. As it was said earlier, unfortunately the rail wheels are out of gauge, but it still looks good parked up in my network rail depot: Matthew
  5. Hello, Network Rail areas looking good, great pics. In answer to what other 'junk' you could have, anything really. Cable Trunking, Orange Piping, Signal equipment, rail offcuts, sleeper stacks, ballast bags, anything goes. I have attached some pictures of my Network Rail area, they may be some use to you. Also, if you havent already, check out my Permanent Way Depot topic ( http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/86640-permanent-way-depot/ ) , there are pictures of real depots, model depots and lots of hints and tips about what to have in them. Hopefully some of this is of some help, Regards Matthew

      Good luck mate, it won't feel real until you put your pen down at the end of the final exam, and then into the longest holiday of your life

  8. Great work, the fire engine decoration and interior look fantastic! I thought all brigades were changing/have changed to the blue/black fire uniforms, do feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Matthew
  9. 'Three trains of S7 have been temporarily formed into eight-car formation for use on the metropolitan line. When these trains revert to S7 formation, M2 cars 25382, 25384, 25836 will each be incorporated into a new build train' Don't know if that helps at all but that's what a particular book has to say
  10. S8 stock is used on the Met, to the best of my knowledge the only S7's to use the Met were in a temporary 8 car formation before being moved to the other sub surface lines in S7 formation. You do occasionally see an S8-1 but its still an S8 train. Matthew
  11. Thanks everyone for your replies, much appreciated. I have to admit I didn't realise there were so many!
  12. Hi All, Would someone be able to tell me if there are any UK heritage lines that are linked to the national mainline network? Thanks Matthew
  13. Great Pictures as usual, new stock and additions look great! Matt

      Why not send Hattons a message on their Chat Line facility and let them know, the last time this occured they reduced their prices advantageously
