Before the days of Freddie, it would have been built pretty quickly..

Hi everyone

I am not a lovely but have watched the layout develop over time in PH's shop. It really is a marvellous example of high quality modelling and it worked really well at the Bury event. By far the most amusing thing was to see two diesels majestically drive towards each other on the same track as their drivers were busy talking to onlookers!
It will be a world class model when done.

Well done chaps

I should think the operating crew wanted to keep that one quiet...

Many thanks on behalf of the Love Lane crew. We enjoyed the day and learned a lot about exhibiting a layout so thank you for inviting us to the show.

Our thanks should go Peter Hunt for bringing us together.

The next outing will be at the S7 group spring gathering which will be at Albury near Bishops Stortford on April 22nd

April 22nd? I have an extra week for the push-pull set..

JB.

 

[Scale7JB]

Speaking of which...



Sides and ends haven't been permanently attached yet, just tacked to see how the corners and compound tumble homes work.

It should look great with the E5 or G5

Ooh, that's cooking up nicely! Fancy an illuminated interior JB?

Pete.

 

[Scale7JB]

Illuminate interior? Doesn't that mean it needs to be fully decorated too?

I'm surprised how narrow the coach body is, compared to later stock..

JB.

 

[Wagonman]

Don't suppose you could cook up something for the Newsletter?

Oops, JB, did I just volunteer for something?!!

Sounds like it to me!

The instructions on this kit really leave a great deal to be desired. I was just having a look at how the solebars fit to the under frame, and I haven't a clue!!

We'll see how we go I think as there is naff all for the interior in the kit..

Looks like I might be doing some laser cut coach interiors. We have a rake of Bachmann Mk1 suburbans on loan which need them as well
