      Welcome back Cov, glad it went well.

  10. going offline now for a few days it's now D-Day for the house move can't wait to get my own room for the new layout !!

  11. As I also currently work on these great units the Class 350's they are so easy to work with until they generate faults such as yesterday morning as soon as we reached about 70mph the brakes would go into emergency !! I can confirm that they are exactly the same as the class 450's some of the units in particular 350234 even has alot of 450 interior parts such as handrails etc as this was the last unit to be delivered it was used a xmas tree to supply parts for the rest of the fleet before arriving in the uk. The underframe parts are all identical even the PTS coach has the well in the roof for a pantograph !! so come on Bachmann can't wait for the dezzy's to arrive i might have to invest in a couple of units ?
  12. will be a happy person once this house move is finally done !!

      Class 153 boring! Never! Loads of thrash and a thrilling ride. Never guess I'm a fan of 153's would you. Especially FGW on a Cornish branch!!!!

      a succesfull shift with trans warwickshire express no failures as yet !!

  19. vac_basher whats the secret always notices anything new on the layout !!

  20. can't say to much for a certain TOC in the midlands area but they get XX amount of millions for such lines to provide a service as it currently stands so the service frequency will stay as it is it's just the winter timetable thats starts in December !! not cuts as you put it !!!:mocking_mini:
  21. I see DB schenker have 100 loco's up for sale including class 60's anybody want to lend me 20k for a class 37!!

  22. That is simply stunning the 6th picture just captures the moment I could almost hear the seagulls flying above there isnt much in that photo to say it's a model !! It's definately a contender for photo of the week !! I'll shall be hunting this layout down when it's on the exhibition circuit as you've just pulled me back towards doing a Scottish branch for my new project !!!!
  23. Hi James this looking very good the trackwork is out of this world its just what I'm looking for so if you do end up selling this layout can i be top of your list ? keep up the great work :D Colin
  24. Hi there Would there be any guides on how to fit a Howes sound chip into a lima class 40 as I can't seem to find one anywhere ? Many thanks in advance Colin
  25. Well done on this amazing layout it gives off that early 1990's era perfectly. I really like your MOD train I was also what model you used for the scorpion or the AFV/432 vehicles as I would like to add some military vehicles to my layout eventually? Keep the photos coming Colin
