Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted March 21, 2013 Author Posted March 21, 2013 Just finished painting and weathering 233 in the Enterprise livery. Here she is on her maiden voyage and as 201boy wanted some container action well what better that to put her on the Ballina Liner. ENJOY:tumbsup: Quote
fishplate7 Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Excellent stuff Anthony...lots of very realistic shots, and as they say...it's all in the detail! Quote

Warbonnet Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 looks great, always like the old Enterprise livery. Quote

ttc0169 Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Lovely scenes there Anthony,the run around in your freight yard is just like the real operation that happens in Ballina freight yard every day, A reach stacker and some containers will really add to that particular scene-well done overall. The real 233 has yet to operate the IWT liner and is the only one of the active fleet yet to work that liner. Quote

I'm thinking of putting points at the end of my sidings for this purpose Quote
ttc0169 Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Noel are the sidings in Ballina a dead end or are their points at the end of them so that a loco can uncouple and cross over to run around. I'm thinking of putting points at the end of my sidings for this purpose Anthony,you can run around on three of the sidings-(named the gantry,the Fert and the through roads) with hand points at either end of the yard and motorised crossover points with a shunt signal at the Manulla end to allow access to the mainline, In the good old branch train days,there was another crossover at the platform to allow the loco off the branch to run around,but this was removed when the Mini CTC was introduced as its only a 2800 railcar that uses that road now, If you have the space which I think you have-then I would put in some points in,as you then have lots of options with locos coming in on the CPWs,running around and coupling to either a timber or standard set if wagons to work back out again-as has been done in Ballina on several occasions in the past.

Kirley Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Usual excellent standard, it was good to see it a few weeks back, like your Enterprise. Quote

Guest hidden-agenda Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Excellent work on 233 and brilliant video. Quote
201bhoy Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Meant to ask Anto, have you any plans to install lighting on your layout in the future? That would take things to a whole new level! Quote
