Garfield Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 A huge layout, especially when you consider it's O gauge! (I should be so lucky...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRich Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 A lifetime's dream come true Pat. A lot of the rolling stock is now in the JLTRT range. He says it will never be finished and that is the right way to be. Keep it evolving and it stays interesting. Rich, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warbonnet Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 That guy's YouTube channel has lots of videos of the layout and some nice steam too. Been trying really hard not to buy a JLTRT kit for a while now, just glad I don't have the space for it at the moment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been trying really hard not to buy a JLTRT kit for a while now, just glad I don't have the space for it at the moment! The JLTRT kit's are top class Fran. One of the lad's in the MRSI built a MK11 kit a few years ago in BR blue, it is stunning. Pete Waterman did a series years ago on the History of Trains in the UK, it was well worth a watch and often gets repeated on Discovery Turbo. It's an interesting location to model as it would have seen traffic from all the big four companies. Rich, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnthebox Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 While watching a TV Programme about Mr. Watermann's model railway, there was a comment that he (Mr.Watermann) has a factory that make's what he do's not have, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRich Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 That is the Just like the real thing (JLTRT) company. There is a chap on RMweb at the moment who is building a JLTRT class 37 with axle mounted traction motors and full springing. Rich, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warbonnet Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Got a link to that lunatic on RMweb Rich? I assume Rich means Pugsley's workbench. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/blog/8-pugsleys-workbench/ Top notch modeller. His OO gauge class 59 build was superb.

RedRich Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Got a link to that lunatic on RMweb Rich? Frans link is the one Richie (thanks Fran) he is an amazing modeller. As Fran has said the class 59 he super detailed is a man pushing himself to the limit. He even tried to recreate the cooling grille mesh behind the grille on the side of the loco. I have a love hate relationship between the class 59 and 66 locos. I love the 59's, and ain't to fond of the 66's. Rich, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenderg Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I wish I had more time today to go through his workbench "blogs" - (confusing layout over there) but from what I've seen and the few bits published in BRM and MR of late, his work is second to none. I loved the elastic band between bogie and chassis, and his method of slimming it down. A bit of lateral thinking never hurt a modeller! R.

jhb171achill Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 The thing about Mr W is that he can well afford such things! But for us mere spectators, that is great! (Imagine an "0" gauge exact representation of Heuston Station in 1972!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
