    Will the Finching sisters be going to Stafford Robin? lol

    Hi Ray, Very impressive. Does this mean you have used your own sound files and added them onto the decoder? On the basis of the work you have done, it should be easy straight forward to add a speaker into a 57xx..... I can feel another project coming on for Wharncliffe! Great work - thanks as ever for sharing.
  4. Neal Ball
    In which case Robin, we can both model 6407.... Wharncliffe in 1936, Brent in 1949!

    Interesting kink in the handrails.... Heavy weight been hanging off that! One feature i dont think we need!
  6. Neal Ball
    I wonder if we will see the Adams Radial soon then? Which might be what is needed to see it steam again! Btw GWR nameplates were painted red in BR days

    Evening Polly, Pretty sure the nearest to London a Dukedog was stabled was Didcot for the DNS line. 08 - pretty sure they were only based at the shed, but I bet they regularly went down the Brentford branch for the occasional freights. Have you decided on the final track layout yet? Regards, Neal

    Completed my PTS course at the Bluebell today and took a couple of quick shots of the real Dukedog: http://www.nealball.co.uk/Trains/Bluebell-Railway/Jan-Feb-2014/ My loco will also be back-dated to the GWR roundel - complete with etched number plates for No. 3206 which was based at Didcot ion the 1930's Photos of the model are on the Wharncliffe pages

    We look forward to you commissioning a GWR Toad then....

    Omg has the world gone mad? Hard day at work, excited to get Hattons email about the Dukedogs... Nip to the Gym.... Get home to find.... Shock horror... The Finching Sisters have passed away / been done in ...... Hold the Front page.... Oh no that was the problem in the first place! Someone nip back to 1947 and nobble that editor! Lol
  15. Neal Ball
    My conundrum is.... Do I need 1 or 2? Or is that just plain greedy?

    Crew training for the recently arrived DMU:
  17. Neal Ball
    As I understand things, it was due to be done about November last year, but was delayed in order to get more "closed time" and do more work. Ballast arrived late December, hauled through to Horsted by a class 66 diesel - they seem to be regular visitors to the railway these days! News about the points and the recent land slips are here: http://www.bluebell-railway.co.uk/bluebell/ext/inf_news.html

    Do you think we could stretch the years about Mike and pretend that Tre Pol and pen went to Oswestry in the late 30's? - I can see it thundering through Wharncliffe Junc in 1936 :-)
  19. Neal Ball
    Presumably the Finching sisters were still in church though as it was posted at 12:05... Plus, if it was that cold out there today the Signalman on duty is a hardy chap, as all his windows are open!!! Looking forward to seeing that King roaring through the station Robin :-)
  20. Neal Ball
    Grass looks fine in those two photos... Hopefully the signalman at Wrangaton will stop that parcels train, looks as if the fireman did not secure the lamps correctly! :-) lol

    Bachmann told me, by the end of January earlier this week....
  22. Neal Ball
    Yes! Of course!
  23. Neal Ball
    Have I voted yet for the down Cornish Riviera? Lol
  24. Neal Ball
    Hi guys Apologies, but I have only scanned the topic.... I thought ages ago that Dapol (in the time of Dave possibly) spoke about bracket signals. I've just been on their website and can not see any mention of them, did I imagine this?
  25. Neal Ball
    I'm still voting for the down 10:30 Not a huge fan of Jumanji, so can I vote for GWR mainline :-) lol
