BWsTrains Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 IMO a sensible split. Call it Andy's TOPS-it I guess; wising you better luck than the Brex- version has had so far. Colin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Cheers Colin, the split had to come, it would just never work as two periods so far apart in one Layout. Thanks for your support mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donington Road Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 First day of the new year and another layout is born. Now, who would have predicted that? Happy New Year Andy, let's hope you have much better health than the year just gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy New Year Andy, let's hope you have much better health than the year just gone. Thanks Mick, I'm keeping my head low and avoiding yellow boxes with flashing lights. Bala is already having a calming influence on me. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donington Road Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Thanks Mick, I'm keeping my head low and avoiding yellow boxes with flashing lights. I was really glad of a yellow box the week before christmas at about 9.00pm on the 20th. This car was overtaking me then pulled up in front quite abruptly for no apparent reason. This forenner bloke came running over shouting no diesel! no diesel! baby! baby! Sure enough he'd run out of fuel and there was his partner (I assume) in the front seat starting to give birth. Well, what do you do with cold hands, no wellies and an apron to put on, panick of course! I phoned 999 and was just about to give directions when I saw an ambulance coming about 100yards away, jumping and waving my arms about like a lunatic I managed to flag it down. It stopped thankfully and the rest is history. Now that was lucky, although the hospital was only about a mile and a half away I guess there is always one about up and down that road. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morning Andy, And thanks, there are so many Kettle lovers on R M Web including myself, although Blue Diesels are still my favourite species, and they cant be interbred.

Thanks mate, Glad the 08's good and your enjoying it, my Blue Period will be TOPS and Railfreight, so the ''D'' prefix was a bit early for me. As for quick, well the main track, Station and Goods Yard was laid a few weeks ago, all I've done over Christmas is remove the joining half circle inking it to Seven Mills, and head shunt to reduce it in size a little.

pwr Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Resistance is futile, and you know it, haha. I REALLY REALLY should have got one of the 74X's in Hattons Sale to make up the set. 74XX still in their bargain range although I dont know if the price is the same as it was in the sale - I suspect not https://www.hattons.co.uk/223722/Dapol_7S_025_002_Class_74xx_0_6_0PT_pannier_7444_in_BR_black_with_late_crest/StockDetail.aspx If you still want one Paul R Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT BUT BUT, just realised the Dapol 45XX Prairie will be out in a few weeks, and I have one on pre order, I need to watch the pennies.

I had my eye on one of them but SWMBO tells me it wasn't prototypical for the planned layout scenario so will have to wait for the 14xx. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
