    You are right Jools. There is a picture of one on the Queen of Scots pullman at GQS dated 26 May 1962. It may have been the only visit by a Deltic other than more recently in preservation.

    Thanks for that. I remember seeing the Signaller69 thread before the crash. Such a lot of work!

    I think you are probably right. Mind you I was surprised Heljan went for the 104!

    So, what is left in my list? I will need a couple of N15's and a J83. I have started a D49 combining a Hornby loco with a Bachmann Director tender. I have a J36 which i plan to repaint and renumber. I am going to replicate a weld repair to the tender which seemed to be fairly common in their latter days. A Glen would be good and maybe a V2 also. And of course a couple of Edinburgh/Glasgow intercity DMU sets. Overall though I am happy with the acquisitions made so far. Most have been second hand.

    And finally for now at least!

    Here are a few more. Some will need renumbering, the shunters,the B1 and the 24 particularly I have included one of a category I call the outliers. The caley tank would never have graced GQS. I just like It! Cheers David

    This morning's selection

    Way back on page 1 I drew up this wish list of locos for GQS. It has evolved since but now more than 2 years on I have gone a good way towards acquiring some of the wished for stock. Here is the first selection.

    Good to see this up and running. I really like that crossover you have to switch trains from one circuit to the other. Cheers David

    Looking forward to following progress. I have said it before, the 37 sound is really effective. Cheers David
  14. David Bell
    That is a good back story. Looking forward to watching this develop. Cheers David

    Really very effective in such a small space. You purchaser has landed himself a great wee layout. A 7 mill version would be fun to do! I have put that on my list! With Trewithen sold as well you face the prospect of an empty POD. That should get the creative juices flowing. Cheers David

    Great video Andy. The layout has come on a treat. Cheers David

    Made a start on the signal gantry. I need to lower it a little but looking reasonable otherwise. The signal dolls will be constructed on sub bases and dropped into the gantry Cheers David
  18. David Bell
    That is looking good Andy.

    Yes Scott it is grass(well weeds mostly!)

    A wee bit of scenery above the tunnel

    Great to see this make its first show. Greatly enjoyed seeing Dobris at Perth last week and if anything this one is even better. Cheers David
  22. David Bell
    That is lovely!
  23. David Bell
    Thanks Brian. They are a wee bit on the chunky side, but I can live with them. They will be hardly noticeable once they are under the bridge. Cheers David
  24. David Bell
    Trying the columns for size!
  25. David Bell
    Great video Andy. It is coming along nicely. You have covered a lot of ground (literally!) The sound in that 37 sounds pretty good, I assume it is standard Hornby TTS? Cheers David
