Sorry for late response but I have been away. To answer your question yes I am doing the same line but further up north as i want a few interlopers on it! Are the semaphores kit built? This is what is letting me down at the moment. Decent signals are hard to find and when I opened a ratio kit!!! I should have some progress soon and have just had my Whistler fitted with sound. She sounds fantastic.

@MrBristolmidland

Signals are tricky bligthers! these are MSE etched brass - all potentially operational but just need to get them linked up to our dcc system. What interlopers do you fancy? Although in late 60s/early 70s most trains were 45/46/47 hauled actually here isnt much that didnt get down here. Only thing better than a whistler is a hydraulic....!

Thats a great layout you have. Just started building mine and it's great to get inspiration from a video like this. You have a fine collection of rolling stock there. Did you weather them all yourself?

@MrBristolmidland

Thanks for kind comments, from user name I guess you model same line? My son James does the weathering - it does make a huge difference.

Hi There

Thanks very much for kind comments - glad you liked it! were you a Saltley man?

We took the layout to Malvern recently - a young lad saw it and got very excited - he said "look Dad thats were we park our car!" Is rather nice to know it is recognisable. If you would like a chat please PM me and I will give you contact details

Ooohhh... more hydraulic action!

@JohnPW22

But of course! theres a whole fleet of Hymeks and Warships waiting for phase 2 to be added - the Worcester - Oxford line. Couldnt screen the class 14 clip we took as tripod malfunctioned but will try to get some next time

Would it be possible to take a look at the magnificent layout??

[MrDLTP]

excellent scenery & backscene

Enjoyed that very much, so realistic it took me back to my firing days in the 60's when we used to fly by Abbots Wood. Can see a lot of effort there, well done.
