Some nice footage & recordings which capture more than just the trains. At about the 20 minute mark the narrator seems to refer to a Standard 2-6-4T as a "Dot And Carry One Tank". Has anyone ever heard that terminology before? <Edit> It does sem to be a genuine idiomatic expression http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-dot1.htm but how it applies to a loco I don't know Edited February 3, 2022 by Andy Kirkham 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted May 7, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 7, 2022 (edited) An update.... Extensive testing has been undertaken and some experimentation with KD magnets..... Today's sunny weather meant that the first colour (Phoenix Precision Weathered Sleeper Track colour) could be sprayed on.. In other news I have been experimenting with some cut down Townstreet bridge castings and building a wagon kit - the re-issued Peco PC92....all jolly good fun... and a bit of back dating may have taken place....just for fun...

RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted May 14, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 14, 2022 More progress - a good day for spraying outside so a few colours were added to the track and the rails given a weak wash of rust colour. Still much to do.. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted May 23, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 23, 2022 (edited) The departure of Gare de Brindille has meant I have a bit of bench space....Timsbury Bottom now has end boards. These need to be well fixed as they tend to get used to lift the layout out of the 77L RUB...This also means I can remove and re-fit as necessary during construction Edited May 23, 2022 by Gilbert 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see the trap point in place 👍 David It does David - under a second bridge. There will be a gate to an industry as yet unspecified - it may vary depending on the rolling stock used.
