I have no idea why any company would use yodel. They are utter poo.

Hi rob, That's interesting - I'll have another look. I've only 2/5 37s serviceable at present - doesn't matter too much as I'm not running the layout until such time as its closer to being finished

It's sitting on the shelf for naughty engines !

Well the ASDA warehouse is finished, except for the ASDA sign, having PC issues at present trying to print that off. This chap has slipped out the door for a sneaky fag. He's also a spotter hoping to see something interesting in the yard, but alas, just one poor tope..... Finally he is rewarded as coal sector 37692 appears ! This is a new acquisition , just chipped but runs like a bag of scanners. I'll try another chip I think. Also my brand new 37242 needs to go back as it won't negotiate corners at all. Not happy with the 37 fleet at present. Next target is completing the military depot. Then I need to think about the fiddle yard - I'd like to make it semi scenic or raise I've got 5 feet of scenery and five feet of bare board. Seems a waste on a layout this small.

I used to have a Dutch 47, can't believe I sold it - I'd turn it into a 47/3 Neil, were seen on a lot more engineers stuff. Theses 47/9 tended to stay on test trains and stock moves

Ah, ok, forgot about the western.....carry on Dapol.....

Nice work Neil

Fast work. Looking forward to the next one !

I think it was EWS that stripped all the BR logos and arrows off everything .

Can you do the KWA just with glue ? I'm thinking of getting some war flats and wells myself so interested to see your progress

How did they move locos in and out the big shed - own power or using a shunter ? Nice work grimly by the way !

Looks like a good plan, with operational interest aplenty to me

Well deserved !

Nice work ! What's the layout going to be abou to run all this stock on ?

Hi Pete, Fair play, looking forward to this one

Watching with interest as I'm sure it'll be up to your usual quality ! Can I ask without trawling through the he threads, what's occurring with the other sweeping curves southern one and the Spanish seaside ? Still ongoing or aborted Pete ?

St Pancras , 1997

4 of the eight military vehicle shed doors finished - disaster befell the other 4 as all the plastic rod fell off - that was my fault as I allowed the wood backing to get wet and warp. I've also had issues with the ASDA warehouse as the foam lard warped here as well. I've pretty much straightened it now, it's awaiting new sides and roof. Here it is in ultra low relief mode , behind my new 37 ( desperately needs weathering to match the seacows), And some new topes behind as well - must be a weekend with all this engineers kit.

I agree.....always liked the rolling wheel logo. Only saw one once, at princes risborough as part of the evergreen project in 98, that made this Buckinghamshire backwater a hotspot of loco hauled trains for a bit. Gents, how hard is it to remove the Bachmann sector logos to replace with mainline or transrail ? Would my usual t cut shift it ?

That sounds good ...how about 222 ?

Wish I'd known that a few years back, I got rid of my sea moss as I couldn't sort the bends

I've go to say, the mainline and EWS 37s were worth the wait !

I hope Dapol make a good job of this - they don't really have any pedigree in OO diesels I don't think and have now been entrusted with several important prototypes

Super tractors ! 222 is on my list as well, but then again I could do 100 from that period

Very nice
