Penrhos1920 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Anyone out for the Locomotive Hauled DRS service for the Tall Ships event? Yes, see here: RMweb Tall Ships 2010 I'll be out on Saturday, probably just around Eaglescliffe, but maybe further up the coast. I'm also planning a late lunch break on Monday to get out and see Leander go through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Only just noticed this thread and I hope I'm eligible to join despite living in Essex! I model the north east, I was born in the north east, I visit the north east when I can and I support a north east football team of the red & white striped variety. Regards to All.

The Black Hat Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Everything was going so well till you got the colour of the stripes wrong! Have to say that I love the pic of 51F you have although its unlikely to be in model form, hence my time of the year impertanent rants of our area yet again being overlooked - and then being shot down in flames again....

RMweb Premium ArthurK Posted March 13, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 13, 2011 A North East man born at Swalwell midway between 52C and 52A. I am now exiled to Lancashire where I came to earn some pennies. Returning as frequently as I could I was able to take many photographs in the area. How I wish that I had started doing that ten years eariier when the likes of G5s abounded. The suburban platforms at East and West of Newcastle were clogged up with them as well the A8s, J21s and the like. However they start from the early sixties and continued to the end of steam. And Yes there are diesels amongst them. As a taster I offer a Q6 at Low Fell. Photos from the Eastern Region 1960s-1980s http://www.rmweb.co....dpost__p__11782 These was brought over from the old RMWEB and I am afraid that the first page is rather long.

Guest LNER Tom Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Always a joy to see a picture from your collection Arthur. NER heritage locos have a real beauty about them. 0-6-0s imparticular, especially the J21 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Hat Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 I too enjoyed looking through the pictures and thinking that theres certainly a lot of scope to cover the north from busy expresses, to freight and rural branches. Who wouldnt want to model it?? Meanwhile Im sticking to my main layout of the north in its current guise with licence. Needs another board I think! Anyone out for anything on the 1:1 gauge this year?

MarkC Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Have I missed a move, chaps? The thread was doing nicely, then seemed to simply stop Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Hat Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 Think it got buried once or twice under the scheer weight of other groups too. Problem with this group is that its based on discussion, whereas interests with others overlap and chatting to others on a group such as this is not always a priority when you have posted a few messages to other topics. I also find it hard to find where this thread has got to when it vanishes. Would be good to keep it a regular discussion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkC Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Cheers, David. I'm away at sea at present; looking to scratchbuild a 4mm scale Q6 this trip. Chassis already completed, & boiler turned, using some brass bar. Just need a few fittings that I forgot to get before coming away, but I think I can make a good start with the bits I've got - it can be completed at home, once I get though the worklist that my wife will have ready for me on my return Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Black Hat Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 Well Ive got a crew for the Bishop Auckland, which is quite a complex and busy timetable to run, but if you want to have a go, then by all means lets see you there. With the ammount of DCC Sound that my layout will be running you'll soon know where I am... Edwards line runs like clockwork as he and his dad follow a movement roster.
