hello

Progress is just about stopped at the moment with a 16 month old running around and the wife telling me i have to clean up the WB ,I am hoping to restart the layout this year with alot more digging and bricklaying and hope fully i will have at least 1 complete oval down by the close of play. I only have 2 new pieces of stock to tell about a Bachman 24 and a 108 DMU in refurbished livery i will post some pics asap

:wave: ah yes I have a 3year old and another 18 months old, they do get n the way of progress somewhat :laugh: my boy is very helpful in the garden, constantly putting tools away in a 'safe' place

 

[Phill Dyson]

hello

I know what you mean mate :laugh: , SWMBO has got me in decorating mode ...hence the lack of progress from me, It's great to keep in touch on here though, just like the good old days of RMweb 3 . I will look forward to the 24 & 108 too, I have a class 24 as well (Steve Beattie resin ) in the workbench cue :scratch:

hello

I must admit that I was finding RMweb 4 very hard going very little on the 7mm scene at all completely dominated by 4mm. I wonder what ever became of the idea that 7mm modellers would have their own forum space, it didn't come to much did it, oh well this looks more promising just as long as you can except LM based modelling with a leaning towards WR hydraulics

That is really why we ended up here

No problem with that although most of us at the moment have a preference for WR, we always like to see what other people are up to.

I don't think they like having separate sections, so we were stuck with a very difficult to navigate site :vista: , I think we did end up with our area in the form of 'Roaring Forties' but we weren't allowed to post any of our modelling in there, which makes the whole thing rather pointless :? . What we should have had IMO was a modelling area for 7mm scale upwards, then again if they left it alone when it was RMweb3 everything was fine IMO , they could have added a blog option to that format for those who wanted one, which would be a lot better IMO than the present format

The sad fact is that there is less of specific 7mm interest. and I agree the 7mm section should have been for everything related to larger scales, but looking at the success of RMweb it has certainly appealed to huge audience.

but looking at the success of RMweb it has certainly appealed to huge audience.

Does it actually have a bigger audience in it's new format I wonder?, :scratch: maybe it's just me, but the posting on there seems far less prolific these days.

hello

so this is where you all went

Ian

:lol: Yes, Mate, plenty of names you'll know here, welcome aboard...!!!

Don't worry about the LMR leanings, they let me in after all, and even let me post some Dark Side pictures...!!! (I think they've fallen for my 'cover' of a Class 22 and Class 14, but don't let on... )

 

[lancer1027]

hello

Yes Ian dont worry about LMR , we are all keen to see others work/projects However dont get to carried away with anything goes :scratch: we accidentally let Jordan on here with the F word :lol: What he does'nt know is his Area 51 is on a timer to destruct after a certain amount of posts but were not telling him how many :lol: :lol: His class 22 and 14 will of course be hi-jacked and transfered to the proper site :lol:

 

[Jordan]

hello

Oh curses! I've been rumbled!!

 

[rosspeacock]

hello

Hello Ian, look forward to seeing lots of pictures Phill is doing well with his "recruitment drive" I had an N gauge layout when I first met Phill (we work on buses together) Once I'd been round to his and saw his models and garden railway I was hooked, binned all the N gauge off and got into O and never looked back, although some of the new N stuff is fantastic I really like the presence of O gauge.... Ross... :wave:

Hello

Phill, the 'recruitment officer' directed me towards this site. I didn't know of its existence, I assume it's top secret by invitation only

It does explain why RMweb has gone a bit quiet - overcomplicated perhaps? There is much to be gained from relative simplicity, and it seems you've all been hiding away here.

Most of you will know I had to (temporarily) put down the hydraulics to concentrate on my Oldham based ex L&Y mostly steam era layout, but I do want to complete a couple of hydraulics this summer that got very near to the paintshop before being put down - the RJH Western and the Tower Warship. Newton Heath may have to become a sub-shed of Penzance

Cheers for now.

Hello Richard :wave:
Nothing secret, we are just sticking to viral marketing Hopefully the site will strike a happy balance between simplicity, and friendly chaos :laugh:

Hi Richard :wave: , I look forward to seeing your modelling progress , especially those lovely hydraulics

It's nice to see you here Richard - welcome aboard. (Good work Phill ).
