Brian D Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Wow, great improvement Andy - I didn't think you had anywhere near enough passenger services in the previous version of Bute Road. Looking forward to seeing this develop. A couple of suggestions if I may? Perhaps a name change for Bute Road to match its new location. How about "Eastly" haha? You really must have a rail head treatment/sandtite train. There's one on my local line (London Tilbury and Southend Line) which goes down early afternoon and back up a bit later this time of year having reversed somewhere, Pitsea I think. Multiple choices of locos to top and tail it with (our local has a Shed at each end). The necessary wagons are still available from Hattons I see. Got to keep those rails leaf free haha. You obviously got the grand kids vote for the new format so what's not to like. Best Regards, Brian. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, That’s the ‘Fiddle Yard Paradox’, you’ll never have a Fiddle Yard big enough as your fleet will always increase to meet the spare capacity in the newly enlarged Fiddle Yard! I look forward to see the Hampshire version of Bute Road develop! Simon 2 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium St Enodoc Posted October 29, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 29, 2021 9 hours ago, Ramblin Rich said: Hi Andy, haven't commented before. I think the change of location makes a lot of sense, I kind of thought at the start that you would find the modern Cornish scene a bit restricted. This feels like it will suit frequent and varied trains a lot better. The best news is that you're not completely scrapping it all I agree, Rich. I didn't mention it before, because it's not my train set, but the layout concept and the back story never quite matched for me. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right, I felt that almost from day one, but having started and NOT finished so many Layouts I sort of stuck with it. Glad I made the change now though. You should have said, maybe in a PM. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
