7mm Heyside: 7mm L&Y, late 50s/early 60s

The wiring was really good as well !

I'm glad we entertained and gave people obvious enjoyment.

It was indeed Tony. Without your considerable efforts over the last 3 years, no loco would have moved, no point would have changed, and no signal would have worked. It's a tribute to Tony's work that the layout was able to be dismantled and remantled again without any gremlins. Nothing failed, nothing went wrong.

Errrr, how do we put it back together Tony?

It was great there I was standing on top of my push bike staring over the wall watching the trains brilliant

Ok, ok, so you rode your bike all the way from the Medway towns to do some gricing... how did Heather get to the show then?

To be read as... "when are you putting it back together eh Tony?"

We shut the door on the layout to have a month off to recharge the batteries, so there will be no further updates for a while, and I have a chance to get back to my workbench.

Remember those bogies ??

JB.

Not forgotten JB. I have bought something to go on top of them too!

I have been mooching around Youtube and found this pretty good video of Railex.

Heyside features from 7.05.

Wow.......

Damn - the goal posts have just been moved again

It has been said, that that is the true test of how good any layout really is.....

10/10 for Heyside, then....

10/10 for Heyside, then...

Come come Jordan, surely we can award 11 / 10 as Heyside is in a class of its own... rather like July Andrews.

 

[Jordan]

I thought 11/10 was a bit like 110%... a good sound-bite for Football Managers but actually technically an impossibility....

Hi

Long time no post!

After Aylesbury, the layout was just shut away and we had 6 weeks off as a rest and a reward for all the effort put in before the show.

The layout was reassembled, the room in which it lives tidied, and we have spent the last month or so making sure the layout is tickety-boo for the BRM photoshoot next week.

We have been adding bits of 'clutter', more gardening, plant pots, some cats etc. Roger added a bit of a queue in the station office and when we put the building back in place, he realised you could see right through to the loco crew in the C13 in the bay. So I took the following photo 'through the door', and it came out pretty well.



Cheers

Richard

Easily the best layout at RailEx and this photograph is superb. It tells an ordinary story that is totally convincing with not a glossy "film star" in sight! When are you out again?
