Hi the APT is one set + spare power car. 87101 carries white window frames as painted for the Bounds Green open day in 87. The res 86's are just spare bodies that I have that are awaiting detailing whilst the 91 is awaiting a replacement pan as the original was damaged.
Wow! Amazing layout, just what I've always wanted, but im having to ditch mine and go the Diesel route due to lack of time. Maybe in another 20 years!!!!
All the catenery is scratchbuilt from copper wire and old lengths of rail. I will be supplying the catenery shortly however via our westcoast miniatures website. No 47/7's as yet although with a railway as big as this there is plenty of space to run one!
Watched all the videos of the progress and loved it -fab music too, nice to see the APT running - I have 2 that will get amalgamated like yours and the catenary system does you proud - so few people seem to try it -Looking forward to the next one.
The line out in the garden proper gets a quick hoover with an old vac cleaner then the rails get a quick rub over with a rubber sanding block. So far the railway has only run in its entirity a couple of times as im still working on the garden section but a clean is nessesary before a running session. Usualy cleaning takes about 15 -20 mins.
Yes the OHLE stays up all the time. This section of line is built under a canopy at the side of the garage so is protected from the weather. To hold the balast down I use exterior yacht varninsh.
Great selection of overhead locos,never seen as many on a model layout thanks for sharing,cheers Tony.

Is the APT formed out of 2 sets?
I like the working lights on the 87 too!. Unusual livery its in. What happened to the pantos on the RES 86s / 91?
