[GWRtom]

Love the pullmans do you know how much they where?

[steampics]

I think about 23 pounds each at the time

[JBTEvans]

Your 08 and BR Grey Brakevan look lush together! Like your Pullmans!

[steampics]

thanks.hopefully the Pullmans will be seen at more gala's in the future.

[JBTEvans]

Lovely, do they do Sunday Luncheon Trains?

[steampics]

They do on occasions like Mothers Day,Easter Sunday/Monday,Boxing Day,New Years Eve and once a month on a normal sunday.

[JBTEvans]

Could you do a video with the Lunch trains?

[steampics]

I could do yes.Maybe this weekend.Yesterday was spend fitting half of the new passing loop at Chilvers.We now also have 3 passing running lines inside the main shed too.Look out for the new vids lol :D

[JBTEvans]

O good, I maybe fitting 2 passing loops - Northolt (but the left hand side track won't have a platform, so it will be a bypass really) and between the Bell Inn Halt and Churn for Churnston. Do you know I am going to build a triangle and an extension off that to Nigg?

[steampics]

nope.lol.will look good.any plans for any more steam vids on your railway?i'd like to see the J94.lol.

[JBTEvans]

Soon, I dunno really

[steampics]

lol.i may do one with the smallest engines I have,so like the made up ones lol.i.e.smokey joe,loch ness,belle and southampton.i think i cud pass it off as an industrial loco gala lol.

[JBTEvans]

Yeah it could lol, I may have a Branchline Gala (Steam) and a Mixed Traffic Weekend (Warship, Hymek etc and BR late steam)

[steampics]

yh well the 2nd Anniversary Gala we did (which there is a short vid of on here somewhere) was mixed traffic and that was ok but i think i may do an industrial gala,with 2 coach trains.When the loop is in.

[JBTEvans]

Looking forward to it, you gonna have a summer peak service video in the summer or something?

[steampics]

Yes.For my next vid I will be doing February sunday services with the 08 shunting stock and wagons,an engine on the main train and an engine on the Luncheon train.lol.

[JBTEvans]

Which locos?

[steampics]

I am also,when the loop is done (lol),planning to do some charter vids.Like one featuring the Jinty and one featuring the 9F and one featuring the Amercian E9 Diesels etc.

[JBTEvans]

[steampics]

Have you any plans for any new videos?Like I said earlier,wud b nice to see the J94 lol.

[JBTEvans]
