201bhoy

Yeah but I won't have room for it all! I'm going to only have one or two of everything

A list of the stock that will appear on the layout I have: Murphy Models 220 Bachmann 177 Lima enterprise 206 3 Lima mk2 coaches Galway livery I need: A rake of mk3s, hopefully 5 or 6, with 1 1st class, a restaurant car, 2 or 3 second class and generator van A mk2 generator van and mk2 restaurant coach Another 201, not sure about intercity or orange full yellow ends yet though! 10 dapol pocket talgo wagons that the model shop are selling 7 or so cement bubbles Another 141 or 181 A 121 1 or 2 071s 3 or 4 RPSI green mk2s Anything else?

My space is an 8 x 4 rectangle, and I'm having a terminus to fiddle yard design

Not really sure what you mean :L I was trying to get the line to single track but couldn't get them to meet Why should I have the two lines meet though? Is it so that I can have trains going from any part of the fiddle yard to any part of the station or yard?

lol we're all mixed up in our comments! Yep the L shape is a no-runner unfortunately... I couldn't get any more than that space and I just thought that the fiddle yard was way too small to be functional. So i came up with a new plan

lol Do you mean as in lengthways? Or do you mean the number of tracks in the fiddle yard?

Right, here's the new and updated plan. The station is only single platform, despite what it may look. The track above it is for longest liner trains, so the platform will have a security fence on that side. The runaround loop and headshunt can also be used as a stabling point for locos. Usually the liner trains will depart from the bottom track, but they can also depart from the track above as well. The liner trains can be loaded in the headshunt before being shunted into place by the pilot loco, which will normally be a 141 or 121 The top two sidings will normally be used by cement trains, so I have an excuse to get some lovely cement bubbles eventually

Thanks very much for the advice! Unfortunately the local landowner (my mum) has said that 8 x 6 is too much space, so now I have to go by 8x4. I realised I'll have no room at all for the fiddle yard unless I curve it round and have it parallel to the station. So now the space for the station and yard is about 8 x 3. I like your thinking of a cement store and am going to incorporate that into it as well as the concrete hard standing. I think I will only have one track under the crane, so i can have lorries as well, and as you said the pilot loco could be used to shunt and arrange the trains

Another chairman who wanted too much... I think it'll be like Martin O'Neill and Villa.

Thanks so much!

Cheers lads do yous know where the train ran around? I've heard it was the "eastern breakwater" but I can't find it on any of the pics...

Does anyone have photos of the old Rosslare Europort station that was recently abandoned? I'm sort of basing my station on it, but I can't seem to find many photos on it

Is it just me, or have they uncoupled in one of the clips?

Richie, how much is the pint?

Great goal yeah. And, if Greece can somehow great a wee win against Russia, then Russia will be out!

ok Do you think you'll continue doing them for a while?

Really didn't know that! How much are they?

bollix.

I know I always like to see the hosts doing well, and you're right; the Russian fans are so arrogant, I hate them!

Their defending for the goals though... it was worse than ours. They're in a much easier group than us! And in fairness I made that comment when they went 2-0 down in the first 5 minutes

Wanna hear a joke? Greece.

I think Concrete really does make a difference... Things look much less cramped with it. Here's some concreting over that the model shop did http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=161052360746&set=a.161006955746.117887.112216680746&type=3&theater

You deserve a play once in a wee while!

Oh sorry just saw the post there now Good job Anto!
