RMweb Gold Popular Post PaulRhB Posted April 24, 2022 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted April 24, 2022 Thoroughly enjoyed seeing the latest changes at NGSouth and catching up quickly with Dave. Sorry I didn’t have time to have another go but I was short of time to see everything Dave hard at work. Stunning and it makes my day every time I catch it. 26 3 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium DLT Posted April 28, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 28, 2022 (edited) Thanks very much Paul, for your comments and the excellent photos. Sorry I look so gloomy in one of me. I'm amazed you had time to take them, you seemed to be behind Clyre Valley every time I looked up! The layout changes worked really well, with the new town goods siding, and two long exchange sidings instead of three short ones. Its a lot more satisfying visually as well. I hope I do more before Exeter in June, but I've got a loco to get on with as well. Cheers, Dave. PS I've now replaced all the photos that had disappeared from this topic PPS having had another good look at Dave Holman's Fintonagh, I want to paint the backscene as well Edited April 28, 2022 by DLT 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concentration Dave not gloomy 😁 Yes we were a skeleton team so I only had about an hour to look round, otherwise I’d have taken you up on the offer of another drive. I did manage two quick visits though and your co operator was doing a great job entertaining us. Mind you I could quite happily sit by the river just at the end of the ropemakers and watch the world go by as I wait for trains. 30 minutes ago, DLT said: The layout changes worked really well, with the new town goods siding, and two long exchange sidings instead of three short ones.

I encouraged a couple to come over and chat too as I knew you’d enjoy sharing ideas. 6 1 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted June 25, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 25, 2022 Good to catch up at the Exeter show today Dave. I enjoyed having a drive while you fulfilled your Exeter 0 Gauge secretary role! I just about got to grips with the points and sections & realise now how weighty the locos and stock are, which really helps with the smooth running. Nice bit of proper mechanical work. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium DLT Posted June 26, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 26, 2022 Thanks guys, had a great day yesterday, I'll see who I can grab to operate today! Hard work on the feet with that solid concrete & tile floor. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bootneckbob Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 (edited) Just thought I'd take a look at your work after you left a comment on mine. Wow, exceptional skills Dave. I've only had a fairly quick skim through this thread, but your work is clearly excellent. Nice to see I'm not a million miles off knocking things up in foam board!

rockershovel Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) I really must make the effort to see this layout again, I was much impressed with it last time I saw it. I think narrow gauge is very difficult to get right visually. The gauge may be reduced but it still exists in a full size world.

RMweb Premium DLT Posted January 2, 2023 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 2, 2023 Just realised with alarm that Bridport's first show of the New Year is only a month away! Febex Alton is the venue, and its been much postponed, I was booked for 2020. So I will be paying a bit more attention to the layout now, having been involved in SG projects for a while. Cheers, Dave. 5 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make it sound like it's a chore to operate Bridport Town, but I know first-hand that the opposite is true! It's certainly inspired me to make some additions for my new layout; so I'm particularly grateful that I was asked if I wanted to operate your layout for an hour at the SWAG do in Taunton. 2 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even have about 8 coach bolts in my tool box... even though Sandy Shores has one board and thus I'd never need them... Anyway, I don't know that I've posted any photos on this thread before, so here's a relaxing view to admire until the next time we see Bridport Town at an exhibition: 21 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
