  1. Yet another week of Eurofighters and Hangars - decent employment if your into that sort of thing - would swap for refuelling Traction at Longsight in the 70's anytime.

      Does that mean they'll be playing over Lincolnshire this week?

      Coningsby? too far from Lancashire.

  2. Yet another week of Eurofighter Typhoons and Hangars decent employment if your into that sort of thing - would've preferred refuelling traction at Longsight Depot in the '70's anytime.

  3. Some decent plaudits indeed - and well worthy - excellent - Lime Street quality girderwork except unbelievably in 2 mill which makes it truly bonkers. Ian

  5. Another year of Eurofighter Typhoons and Hangars - still prefer Longsight Depot and its allocation of Class 40's anyday.

  7. Pink Pullovers in Pontefract - excellent. Theres something about Buxton shed in the snow it's the altitude! - Class image that one of bygone era only went once there to try and bunk in and that was in the height of a summer evening. Ha ha - the type 2 "layout" is more of an 18" square C&L and fine detail nothing to it but keeps the interest going - I like reading up about them and have collected some good publications I am sifting through - very much understated Traction in extreme circumstances - will update the Invergowrie thread sometime. Ian
  8. MTB ride this aft - horizontal rain - bring it on....

      Just a short one nr Salwick - needless to say no one else was out - Gisburn a good un but out of my league :0

  9. Same here - Invergowrie in it's latest reincarnation is still ongoing and will be done by Christmas but I am unsure of which year! - it has evolved into a study of all things Type 2 26 and 27 in various forms and liveries. No point asking about exhibition dates then! but no rush whatsoever. Cheers Ian
  10. All the best Cav - I'm still here watching intently....! ian
  11. Driving up to Ambleside in this weather - should be interesting.....

      It's not that bad up here. Just a little damp!

      Working up is the hard part. Once out you'll love it.

  13. Fuel Tower Base and Tank done - now for a session on Sniper Elite

  14. Contemplating risking a Kronenbourg.

      Noooooo! Hangover from hell unless it's the real French stuff! :D

  15. Note to self: Next Christmas Eve don't drink Warsteiner at Brother-in Laws.

      ....but not Warsteiner - the stuff is evil.

      The beer of choice for a colourful hangover...

  16. A week of Hangars and Eurofighters - nice work if you can get it but I would swap for Toton TMD anyday.

    1. Stu from EGDL

      :) Gresty Road or Kingmoor then?
  17. StillMarillion - The Railway Bromley Cross 12/10/13 -

  18. ELR Autumn Diesel Sat BTCC from Silverstone Sun thats me sorted :)

  19. Yes - excellent books many an idea sourced form these - only to be binned six weeks later....
  20. Dont know whether I mentioned this before but some Traction in that image are very expensive as we all know. All good stuff lucky and good to have - they are as rare as Rocking Horse ... wonder if Baccy will ever do a retooled run?
  21. Yes - it looks excellent - agreed - But it does surprise me that you are critical of what is an extremely ambitious project in 2mill never mind 00......
  22. Excellent - still a long way to go - it would give me sleepless nights! Credit to the original Victorian engineers and human endeavour in 1:1 scale never mind 2mm to the foot - very humbling that should never be forgotten. All that construction hardship craftsmanship and pain for short-sighted throwaway closure. Maybe when this layout is exhibited a historical tribute of sorts could do with a mention as hopefully the model will be equally as breathtaking. Excellent. "Hi Ian, that steelwork looks pretty good" This comment surely has to be tongue in cheek Cavan? Ian
  23. Here's the impressive bridge Steelwork for Freight Only 2 (Oil) - Coinage is for scale - quite surprised I had a 1 Pound Coin TBH. What do you think? Ian
  24. Yes - very good work as far as my knowledge of Steelwork goes - have I missed the image of the prototype? How many PCA you going to run in total Cav? - luckily with Speedlink and Enterprise the rakes are interestingly mixed and easier on the bank account BTW: I have behaved - been a good boy and used monies for my fiftieth for the main Traction for the latest attempt (FO2 - Oil) - you might be impressed.
