My little railways

[trainfan5]

Well, this is a really out of date thread.

A lot has changed over the last few months with one project being cancelled, another started and a major project starting.

Firstly, a few stock additions:

Peppercorn A1 Tornado DCC Fitted

BR Class 25 DCC Fitted

LSWR T9 DCC Fitted

GWR Hawksworth 94XX

GWR 8750 DCC Fitted – Brought and run in at the Bluebell Railway’s 50th Gala explaining the Standard tank in the background.

BR Diesel 04 Shunter

Southern Railway Bullied West Country

Modelzone TPO Limited Edition

Maunsell full set of coaches, Mk2 BCK and limited edition Gaugemaster Truck

Two BR Mk2s (TSO and BSO)

Layout wise, my little 009 layout has been dismantled due to lack of space and a general lack of time to complete it. However, it has been replaced by something a bit bigger after its use for a school project was finished......

Namely a shelf Layout set on the..................Great Western Railway !

The layout itself

Stock

Likewise, for Christmas, I received a Bachmann EZ Command Train Set which has been intergrated into my main OO gauge layout. Here’s a picture of it before I added the controller into the layout permanently.

Also, I’ve started work on a OO gauge working diorama which is based on the other end of the line to my main OO gauge layout. Its main purpose would be to run in new stock and to be a sort of test layout for newly repaired rolling stock to be tested on.

Unlike my main OO layout, its been designed to have curves with a radius of less than radius 2 to allow a greater range of stock to be run on it compared to my main layout. Anyway, on with the pictures.

As you can see, I’ve been a busy chappie since my last update.

Until next time,

Jon
