S7 at York

[Jordan or Plymouth Mad]

Guilty of the box standing M'lud.

That's the layout. so we've likely met then I'd forgotten about the branch line at the front. It was a superb layout in all respects.

I picked up this wagon at a bring and buy stand at a show, took it home in triumph, and it kept falling off my track. That was when I discovered S7.

If you lay your track to the proper standards the wagons, locos and coaches too, don’t fall off.

to be fair, that is true for every scale and gauge combination from T up...

I think @Northroader may have been jesting you all.

It's only a model railway.

Small world! Thank you for your comments. The layout was called "The Field" after the similar area at Hockley Goods, on which it was based. The buildings and most of the GW stock were built flat pack while doing the job in very sunny climes. My only regret is that I don't have any photos of it running in GW guise. When I retired the layout the baseboards and supports became Y Cae, which is Welsh for The Field.

Indeed. I call mine "O,M.O.L.". Stands for "O, More Or Less"


Oh, hang on....

In fairness, this derailment - which happened in real time during an operating session & was almost a pleasure to watch - was traced to the back-to-backs being out on the tanker's truck; it split the switch during a propelling move & dragged the boxcar off the spur it should have been following it into.

Small world! Thank you for your comments.

I do recall saying to the operator "This is S7, isn't it?" and he seemed very pleased that someone recognised the fact, & that no explanation was needed! I bet it was you yourself!

I'll message them, but as I asked for a table for the S7 society, they should know... And my paperwork clearly states S7!!!

It looks like I've "volunteered" myself to cover the stand for a couple of days, current plans may still change but the intention is to be there first thing Saturday morning before the show opens with some stock and display track for the stand and cover until mid afternoon, I don't think I'll make Sunday but will be back to support all day Monday.

So might have a couple of items of stock for trundling around.

I am going on Monday, storm Dave willing, so will call by.
