Absolutely fantastic thread so far only just found it

Bogies missing from what??? lol.....I just shake my head

Your layout Gordon is well and truly going to be one the great layouts of all time to be remembered for decades to come and an inspiration to all old and new to this grand hobby of ours...

As has been said before your work inspires a lot of us through that patch of losing the modeling mojo so thank you mate for keeping us all inspired and hanging out for your next post.

Cheers

Anthony

PS Damn you for making it all look so easy lol

Thank you Matt,

   I enjoyed your little modelling endeavour greatly and I think I shall give it a shot myself shortly

Cheers

Anthony

Sensational work mate...One of my favourite layouts right up there with Warren Lane

The loco looks fantastic mate

Fantastic little layout..I nearly fell over when I saw how small it was....Brilliant

Will be eagerly watching this one develop

Beautiful layout Mr Sasquatch, it just oozes atmosphere.

Cheers

Anthony

Cheers

Anthony

Awesome!!! Opened my front door this Arvo and low and behold, strike me down and slap me stupid there was a parcel from the motherland with my replacement chassis in it...I had nearly given up on it but surprise surprise the lovely Tanya at Hornby had come through.

Cheers

Anthony

Ps.....A very very happy camper

Very sorry to hear it..His work has been an inspiration to many if not all and will continue to be for a long time to come.

He will be missed.

Thanks Anthony

 

Do you have a layout thread on here ?

No mate I just dont have the time to model, work, kids and document my meager efforts..ha ha...One day I might just take a few snaps of my littl tail chaser with an MPD in the centre

Cheers

Anthony

ha ha Thank you oldknotty.. Actually I was one the founders of the so called club when it all started here on a previous incarnation of RMWeb unfortunately long long ago..Its been a few years now..Funnily enough its not just limited to Hornby as good friend showed me this morning with a couple of Proto 2000 chassis from round the same time as the 31's that he has to repair/Scratchbuild a chassis for..

Cheers

Anthony

You Clive were mainly responsible for swaying me towards BR Modelling mate so for that I thank you!!!

I have been building my MPD for around 4-5 years now and have enjoyed every bit so no apology needed my friend as your layuots and modelling have

allways been an inspiration.

Cheers

Anthony

Since being told to email at the end of August when the replacement chassis should have arrived I have since sent 2 emails and have heard nothing in return..

Now this has been going on for years now and after the communication with the lovely Stephanie at customer care I thought finally it would be resolved but after being ignored now for over a month I think that now i might just scrap it and build my own chassis..

Now I spend quite a lot on my hobby and have a few Hornby locos but now I dont think that I will be buying many more..

It has taken quite a long time to get to this point for me..

Not so cheers

Anthony

I have recieved an email from the lovely Stephanie @ Hornby Customer Care letting me know that the replacement parts still have not arrived and to email them around the end of the month..

Cheers

Anthony

I actually recieved an email from a lovely lady at customer care telling me to contact them again in August and they will provide me with a replacement

chassis..Very happy indeed!!! (Although I have heard this before)

Cheers

Anthony

Thanks for stepping in there Andy and getting some helpful info for us...

I had just about given up on Hornby to be honest as I started my ball rolling with them in May 2009.

I have just sent another email to customer care to see what happens now, It is good though that they are trying to fix the problem for us.

Here's to hopefully have a solution to the problem soon

cheers

Anthony

That second photo my wife looked twice said nice photo and then said oh is that a model.

Nice job mate.

Cheers mate. I have a couple of westerns to rename so that will work out well (Hopefully..lol)

Great tip with the Brasso mate, my brother is a watchmaker and uses the Silvo version for buffing scratches out of plastic watch faces if anyone needed to know lol.Does work on Heljan?

Love the layout Kev.

Cheers

Anthony

Those flowers Ray are the icing on the cake mate, they just complete it perfectly.

Cheers

Anthony

"Hi Anthony, I am glad that you enjoy the thread about my silly project!"

Silly is not the word I would use mate, I was thinking more along the lines of epic.

Outstanding modelling mate, really!!

Cheers

Anthony

Cheers
