Nice but no coinage. Look at it this way - you have notoriety! 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Central was SR, Ex St Davids was both but controlled by GWR I believe. I remember seeing NSE Cl 50's struggling out of St Davids up the bank to Central for onward to Honiton etc. I fancy doing a model of St Davids, its in the Peco Track Plan Book and would be great to do, with its 4 way Traffic flow, but it would need to be in N to fit into almost any house room.

CJF did at least three plans based on Central. As I recall, the smallest fitted into 14' x 8'. Much simplified of course but it allowed all the principal movements to be replicated. There have been models in N (at least two) , TT, and 00. If the goods yard is modelled, it gets a bit wide in 00. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to mention to him that you'd need rolling stock for an Exeter St David's. But possibly not at the same time as discussing an overdraft! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Kazmierczak Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 When I saw you wearing a Pink Floyd T-shirt I thought you were going all introspective and going to give Bute Road the chop. South Hants is a great location for variety. I wasn't too far off the mark with my joke about Eastleigh! The estuary/ river bit of the layout reminds me of Redbridge/Totton. The curving platforms and sidings are also rather like Redbridge. I still find the name Bute Road, still make me think of Cardiff though. It never sounded very Cornish to my ears. And you seem to be enjoying it all the more now. That's what it's all about. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Peter and Thanks, Bute Road comes from the name of the Road where my late Father was born, so has a very personal connection to me. Think Beaulieu Road.

georgeT Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Well done that man ? l didn't say so at the time, but l thought all that freight would get boring (after a while) l know it would have been a spotters dream with all that going on, one freight after another, but not very realistic, l love the new passenger stock you have got now to balance things up, looking forward to the future progress .and remember that rule one will always win ??? 4 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Bud, reminds me of the day we first met on Eastleigh Station back in about 1992ish. The Stock has moved on since then, but the atmosphere is still the same. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
