wombatofludham Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Well done, I'll look forward to seeing the new stable door in August. Must admit when you were talking about the chippy I couldn't quite see what a fish fryer would be doing adapting your door at first... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evening Ian, I'm all set for tomorrow. Nestor has had to drop out owing to work but Bluelightning (Gary) is still coming . Lindsay has been busy baking lots of tasty treats to keep us going, I've also installed some blinds to try and keep the heat out as it's been unbearable this week even with my windows open. Looking forward to having some fun as well as a natter. Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bescotbeast Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 A few pictures from todays meet up where most of the trains utilised Ians motive power to great effect The usual format for when I have visitors is I take a back seat and issue instructions on the make up and shunting of trains and the other two operate the mainline and shunting the yard Ian by bescotbeast, on Flickr 50050 Fearless by bescotbeast, on Flickr D6508 Eastleigh by bescotbeast, on Flickr D6508 works Target 43 by bescotbeast, on Flickr Gary has a shunt by bescotbeast, on Flickr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted July 26, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 26, 2014 Evening Simon Many thanks for letting us play today and it was good to meet you and Gary. Please pass on my thanks also to your good lady wife for the excellent spread at lunchtime, looks like I'll have to upgrade the bacon rolls next time I'm hosting! Once it cools down a bit you must come over to Basingstoke to play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BlueLightning Posted July 26, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 26, 2014 Hi Simon, Thanks for today was very enjoyable meeting you and Ian and getting to play with some trains. I would definitely echo Ian's statement about lunchtime. Once trains are running here I shall have to have people round to play. Gary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold BlueLightning Posted July 28, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 28, 2014 Hi 'nut, Definitely a fun day. In fact it was so much fun that I feel converted and have a Heljan Class 33 on its way! and after reading through both of Ian's threads I think my "proper" layout when that finally gets build may be an NSE layout with a preserved branch coming off of it so that I can run my existing stock on it.

I am very tempted your fleet of 50's on Exford Park does look good. I am definitely going to have to put a TMD in my proper layout lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bescotbeast Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 Another convert then, but remember Gary a Class 33 needs a Class 50 as it's friend! It's your fault I've been browsing ebay looking for a suitable Class 50, I'm also planning to implement your hinge solution and adjust the grade on the steepest of the two inclines over the next month.

Will that mean T305 and the 81 will actually be able to get uphill without banking? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so Mark, Ian did some trouble shooting on the top of the incline and my conclusion is I need to redo the gradient further still, I'm exploring options with my fiddle yard as well.

bescotbeast Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 Right have discussed a date with my wife, we are looking at holding a small open day on Sunday the 30th of April. Numbers will be limited due to space and my wife's tolerance for a "house full". Regards Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted April 19, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 19, 2017 Hi Simon Would've loved to have come down again but as I said on the PM we already have plans as its the Bank Holiday weekend, maybe why there's been no takers? Any chance of another date instead? Did I invite you to be a guest operator at Chatham June 3rd-4th, I can't remember? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance of another date instead? Did I invite you to be a guest operator at Chatham June 3rd-4th, I can't remember? Ian, I've every intention of organising another open day this year with a suitable date planned for your self and your layout with Curry laid on. I've gone ahead with this date as Thames611 approached to say he hoped to come and then confirmed he'd booked the time off, as I didn't want to let him down I've pushed ahead with this date. Myself and Mr Wiles, will be attending the show (think we are coming on Saturday but we could do Sunday also,as the wife is away pampering herself) and would love to wreck "cough" sorry operate your layout.

bescotbeast Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Right, just to confirm, attending the open day so far are myself wombatofludham (he's my right hand man) Thames611 Curry will be provided (it's home made) Cheers Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
