Albion Yard & Others

[PMP]

Rummaging through the back catalogue tonight, I found this made over Bachy 08 with Shawplan and Brassmasters bits and bobs from a couple of years back. Albion Yard is still extant and being used as a test track on occasion, hopefully after this weekend there may be a show confirmed next year where it'll be run in full BR Bloo!

Autumn arrives in Albion Yard

 

[PMP]

An interesting arrival for the festive season. This year has seen some excellent RTR equipment land on retailers shelves, this and the Dapol 08 being close to the top for me. I've also been really pleased to see developments such as Modelu's and Coast Line Models excellent 3D printing, laser cut and etched goodies coming from the likes of Shawplan across the scales. Overall, I think it's been a good year for the hobby, here's to plenty more like it, and compliments of the season to the readers.

I've only seen pictures but these do look excellent. They seem to be the step up in quality others were promising and generally failed to deliver. This year has been a bit of a RTR shopping year for me with a whole Hornby coach being brought brand new! (I think that's a 100% increase on 2015! My local model shop is going to stop giving me coffee at this rate!

Have a good new year, Albion Yard will be out in Diesel format for the Define modellers day in Jan
BUMP! – DEFine Modellers Day

DEFine Modellers Day – One week to go!

Tomorrow is the first Define group modellers day, at Risley Village Hall DE72 3SS. I'll be running Albion Yard in DC diesel mode. If you've got time drop in, looks like a good event.

Note to Self....

Stop looking at pictures of Albion Yard as they scream 'Forest of Dean' and are making me want to buy it... this is only a problem for 4 very good reasons:-

1. Lack of £££
2. Lack of OO models
3. Lack of Space
4. Far too much of SWMBO

SNAP!!!
I seriously doubt my SWMBO would let me buy another layout! But, . . . I wonder!?! No!
Gotta concentrate on what I've already got.
It is so pretty though!

The Peckett seems well suited to 'Shelfie' and vice versa.

More Peckett portraits, this time on Albion Yard.

Great angle that, Paul.

Must be doing something wrong, there's a tendency to move upscale rather than down. 2FS LNER bracket signal under way. Another three aspect and two subs to go on this assembly.

 

[oldravendale]

Groaning inwardly. 4mm looks enormous compared with that and that caused me plenty of heartache. But I think was was just big fat fingers syndrome.

As a break from 2FS signalling I'm running in one of the Hattons/DJM 58xx's for my FoD planned project. I'm not a fan of the chassis and gear train drive system, in particular the 'slack' in this and the J94 from DJM. I can see a few of these getting a High Level chassis grafted to them which I think would make a very pretty little engine.

 

[PMP]

A bit more 2FS signal messing about. Then it'll be back to trying to make the 14xx above perform better.

Hello PMP whose rolling road are those shown in your post above and are they multi gauge?

Many thanks

 

[adrian]

They look like the Bachrus items to me - they are multi-gauge to a limited extent
50 Series, Locomotive rollers, Locomotive test stand, Locomotive rolling road, Engine test stand, Roller test stand, Model train test stand | Bachrus Inc.

Thanks Adrian they certainly look like them. I notice on the vid he says that he is still working on a fix for the UK track as it has "CHAIRS" showing on the inside of the rail.

I'll check that out.
