RMweb Gold Happy Hippo Posted December 14, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 14, 2015 Brian, I think you need a small privately owned shunter to do some of the work on Rosamund Street, especially during the quieter times. How about the 0-4-0 Steeple cab that was pictured in the Clarence Road thread. Even if it didn't run, it would look good parked up, oou, against the stops in No 2 road.

I've got a few 'industrials' to hand, a brace of Hornby Sentinels to start with. . As for the 'steeple cab' - I once built one in 7mm, scratchbuilt inside frames, Slaters wagon wheels with Romford gears on the 1/8" axles. The body was built out of styrene sheet. . Always planned to build another version, in brass - in fact the brass used in the jig referred to on the previous page was originally earmarked for 'GreenBat". . Perhaps one day, when I 'log off' for the last time. . Brian 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
br2975 Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 Called into a certain model railway emporium located along Penarth Road in Cardiff. . Emerged with two Bachman POA's secured at a very reasonable exchange rate. . Now to build my 4 Cambrian kits of the same wagon; my two 51L 'Black Adders' and knock a couple of Bachmann HEA's into HSA's and we can bring Rosamund Street into the Speedlink or privatisation periods. . Watch this space......it may take a while. . Brian R 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Happy Hippo Posted September 30, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 30, 2016 (edited) Brian, No pies from me this time as I have agreed to go to Wigan with some friends. However, are you performing at the Cardiff show in a fortnight's time? I'm trying to get down for that one.

br2975 Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 Brian, ................. However, are you performing at the Cardiff show in a fortnight's time? I'm trying to get down for that one. Richard, . I'll be at the show, either assisting the sibling, or with Rosamund (it's a long story). . Either way, I'll be there, both days. .

br2975 Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) Well,how did it go ? Speaking honestly - with two layouts, and two operators ( albeit two helpers on Sunday ) I never got to see half of what was on offer. . There was one gallery with several traders in, which I didn't get a chance to visit. . My wallet thinks it has upset me, as it was opened but once, to secure a pair of Parkside and Red Panda kits and two 'old' Bachmann shock opens. . . Rosamund Street caused some head scratching when everything ran intermittently, but a few minutes work found the main bus bar had come free from a connector, and once rectified, she was as good as gold.

Wayne 37901 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Hi Brian, Just had a read through this thread and Rosamund Street looks a cracking layout. I'll look forward to seeing it if I get chance. Cheers, Wayne Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne 37901 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Hi Brian, It was nice to see Rosamund Street at the Cardiff show even though it was a brief look, thanks for the chat about about S&W couplings I think I'm going to have a go with them. I liked the reliable operation of them and not once did I see you have to intervene with some sort of shunting device. I think I'd prefer these to AJ's which look like they could be easily damaged in the stock box. Have you fitted them to any bogie stock?

RandyWales Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Hi Brian... Congratulations for the superb article in the current Model Rail (issue 233). Rosamund Street has been a favourite of mine since the appearance at the Swansea show in October. Aside from the attraction my favoured Corporate Blue era, I absolutely love the way the buildings dominate the scene. Randall Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold simon b Posted March 22, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 22, 2017 I've just read the article in model rail, which has lead me to this thread. How I had not seen this layout before is beyond me. So refreshing to see something other than a green fields BLT, the buildings frame the scene well. I reckon a couple of the big sheerness steel jxa open wagons would look right at home on Rosamund street. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly the bigger bogie scrap boxes would dwarf the layout and be a bit impractical. . I have been collecting Cambrian and Wizard/51L POA kits, a couple of Bachmann POA/SSA models, a couple of HSA's (ex-HEA), so watch this space. .
