They certainly are and long may it continue! Do you get out much with the camera?

@@SWT442 no busy life with two kids. although the Boy has delivered a love of trains. so weve been to eastleigh a few times! my time will come.

Couldn't agree more!

Thank you very much!

Thanks mate, much appreciated!

@@SWT442 You're very welcome

Many thanks, glad you liked it!

Thanks Stuart, much appreciated!

Many thanks!

No worries Scott, would've been good to catch up! If I'm ever free for the next meet, I'll definitely be there. Surprisingly it was just me up there, was expecting a few smack heads to be milling about!

They were definitely worth getting, as I think 56098 is being sidelined now for Class 69 conversion. Where abouts did you catch them?

Thanks Scott, it's a good place to spend an afternoon for sure! Great minds think alike mate! I was thinking that when I was here, with the Mendip related models that Revolution and Dapol are doing, this would make a good N gauge layout for sure.

Thanks mate!

Cheers Scott! Just a little something I've been working on! 😉😂

@@SWT442 🤣

Thanks Simon! You'd be more than welcome round for a play!

@@SWT442 Thanks Andy, I'll dig some rolling stock out and perhaps we can give some of it a test behind your locos !

I like the sound of that! Though I'd probably need a layout twice the size to accommodate all your stock!

@@SWT442 Some of the stuff I've done over the winter such as the LPG's, SITT, Cable Train, Balfour Beatty Drain Train and HOBC set could all do with a spin. The Railvac and Harsco Grinder are unpowered but I am sure would look OK being dragged behind something !

Cheers mate, much appreciated! Only went a handful of times in the 90's as I was still a kid, and that was only if I nagged my Dad enough to take me over there!

Thank you!

Thank you! It's not been too bad so far. Most of the track runs have gaps that have been cut to give enough space for expansion, without creating too big of a gap when it contracts. The temperature variations haven't been too excessive either way, and I'm hoping that some additional insulation and making the windows openable will help in keeping a more stable temperature through the year. Not noted any moisture issues, it's never felt particularly damp up there. I did have some slipped tiles when I moved in, so the roof was given some TLC to ensure no issues with water ingress and some gaps around the Dormer windows were addressed.

Thanks mate, appreciate it!

Thanks very much! Yes, thankfully I've been lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time to get a deal!

Thanks mate!

Cheers mate, it's slowly getting there!

Cheers mate! Was expecting the climb up the bank to have slowed her, but was obviously not fussed by it!

Thanks mate! Just checked the video out.

@@SWT442 thank you 442 :)

Thanks for the info! I'm quite surprised it lasted that long, certainly wasn't expecting it to last into 2024 so never bothered to try again. Wished I had now!

Catching the Murco Tanks is now a rare occurance too..also double headed...well done !

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed the video! I was never interested in any sound fitted locos, then I ended up buying one out of curiosity and now love it! If money was no object, I'd fit sound to all the stock!

Thanks Darren! That would sound about right, certainly puts the 66's through their paces hauling it all! Yes, Cappagh/DCR do seem to do well in not getting their wagons tagged. I'm not overly keen on it, as it does make everything look quite scruffy, I have to admit there's a few that have some quite impressive artwork on them!

I beleive it's now currently around 775m (2,500ft), though that maximum will depend on the route the train is to be run on, as there's no guarantee it'll fit into any loops along the way.

Likewise! I certainly prefer catching them over the 66's, so was certainly happy to catch that many in such a short amount of time.

@@SWT442 Yeah I would be too

Thanks mate! It must be up there, can't remember the last time I caught so many of them in one hit!

theyre sacred,cant say a word against them.

Another train? There is one(1) track and at least a couple of minutes between trains in the same direction - where do you expect it should come from?

They do seem to be treated like it@@patrickmalone1902

Thank you! Bit of a rarity where I live so worth the trip for it!

Thanks man, appreciate the kind words!

Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks mate!
