enniscorthyman Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Lovely stuff,and nice pw wagons behind 071. Quote
BabyGM Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Excellent work!When 071 stopped I wondered if it was the end of the video or unpowered track I can't wait to see a train doing a full loop of the layout Quote
Garfield Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Hopefully tomorrow I'll finish the soldering and be able to roundy roundy And you won't be seen for a month afterwards... Quote
RedRich Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Looks great Stephen, it's your layout and you run what you like. They are damn fine models Dapol are really moving forward as a contender for the No 1 slot in the UK. Not quite there but not far off. Good luck with the wiring. Rich, Quote
BosKonay Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Cheers Lads! Back to work I go Any votes on the first roundy roundy video? At the moment the contenders are 071 with a Tara mines rake, 8208 with 9001, 082 with an IWT liner.... Quote
heirflick Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 A bit of fun with some non prototypical MRAs the other day [video=youtube;cXHraYJf-HY] steven, can you put up a pic of the wagons behind the 071? nice looking things that i havnt seen before. Quote

Rich, I'm drooling over the new Western Rich, I'm trying desperately to see if I can arrange funds for a Maroon one. If not this run then certainly the next one... Quote
BosKonay Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 The MRA's are Dapols recent 5 vehicle set Quote
BosKonay Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Demountable, super detailed, can even be posed in a lifted / tilted position. Lovely heavy metal construction too (so much so that an old 59 struggle to get them up the small bit of 1:48 incline Quote

BosKonay Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Will be well tasty in railtrack too Too much nice stuff these days to choose from!! Quote
Dave Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Will be well tasty in railtrack too Too much nice stuff these days to choose from!! Indeed! I bought two railtrack auto ballasters with the intention to repaint, but I'm not. they are now running with my 112. Quote

If not this run then certainly the next one... Fran I've had a good look at the photos Andy Y posted on RMweb. I remember your comment on the springs on the bogies a while back and I agree Dapol should have molded them instead of using springs, as they look a bit distorted. Otherwise it is an equal to the Hornby class 60 if not better. I might even invest in a blue one as they are an iconic loco. Rich, Quote
RedRich Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 With all the loco and passenger rolling stock that we have been treated to in rtr It would be a nice surprise if we got a cement bubble in rtr. Rtr freight is a huge hole within the hobby. The chassis could be utilized for a number of other wagons. I've scratch built a number of different wagons in the past and built kit's but it would be a great buzz if MM were to do a run of wagons. Some of the UK rtr manufacturers have released wagons that were in the Parkside or Cambrian range for years so who knows. Rich, Quote
Glenderg Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Rich, fully agree. why there isn't a 20' flat is beyond me. I'm sure a run of 504 of them would sell, as an unpainted chassis only. Stephen, i'd like to see that sulzer come out of its cabinet, and or even a black n tan 141, pulling a mixed rake of passenger, goods, some oils, and all in back n white! When's the grand opening anticipated, i assume we're all invited and it's BYOB? :tumbsup:Richie. Quote
BosKonay Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I'd love some 20's - I even priced having Dapol make a run - let's just say you would have needed to sell then for 30+ each to break even! As for the Sulzer, she may be coaxed out of the shed for a spin or three Quote

With all the biomedical and pharma companies here, you'd think the guys who make their high end disposables and packaging could squirt out a bit of plastic for a fiver.... shocking really. Quote
BosKonay Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 It did actually, iirc it was a few k of the cost... Quote
RedRich Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 It would be nice to see a stand alone wagon with the right brake gear, w irons, axle boxes and j hangers. If they were sold in three packs it might make more sense financially. Take the cost of an MIR two axle wagon, factor in the cost of having someone building it and it would probably be more expensive. The last lot of bubbles produced by MIR were expensive enough for just a kit. Rich, Quote
BosKonay Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 Have had my head under the boards of late ! Installed the above DPDT switch, so the prog track / running shed siding is now live and working, and finished the entire loop! (have a tad more work to do on the inner loop on the bridge!) Uploading a youtube video at the moment with some highlights from a quick loop! Quote
BosKonay Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 Dunno about the editing Was a quick job Will have a play with the software and work up a 'standard' format for videos Hopefully will get a little time to finish the bridge wiring and then clean down the layout So far, means the mainline loop, the main terminus, yards are all down and wired, bar the engine shed tracks. Next phases then are Blackrock Road depot and station and 'Cement' Branch, as well as the helix and fiddle yard! Quote
Garfield Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 Dunno about the editing Was a quick job Will have a play with the software and work up a 'standard' format for videos What software are you using at the moment, Steve? Quote
BosKonay Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 I'm all mac, so just using the latest version of iMovie.... First time I actually edited a few clips together! Quote
Kirley Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 I’m sure it’s a great feeling of achievement Stephen to reach this stage at last; you must reward yourself with a few hours just watching them go round and round. Quote
BosKonay Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 Hehe, I know what you mean = but the hassle of unboxing stock is keeping me (somewhat) behaved ! Quote
Garfield Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 I'm all mac, so just using the latest version of iMovie.... First time I actually edited a few clips together! iMovie ain't to be sniffed at... it's a good piece of kit. Quote
BosKonay Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 I've found it actually very easy to use Quote
