lol! I merely mentioned my future nameplate requirements ;)

I can't decide between 'Earl Mountbatten of Burma' or 'The Burma Star'...

I went to the show today, and I have to say it was the best Ponte show I've ever been to, with plenty of blue diesel layouts.

Yes I thought it was a great one too:)

I especially enjoyed Oldham King Street Parcels in 7mm, which I've not seen before.

Yes I must admit I kept finding myself drawn back to that layout.............fully operational DCC Breakdown Crane too :cool: :bowdown: & what an array of blue era DMU's & diesels to drool over too........40106 looked great too in that other colour as well :))

Pardon me for asking. What layout? what scale? what crane?

Hi Graham,

I'm afraid I have no idea what type of crane other than it being one of the big BR 76T cranes ? in BR yellow livery, it was on the 7mm layout mentioned (Oldham King Street Parcels). I didn't see it operate yesterday, but I did see the same crane re-rail a Grampus at Telford (2010 I think) on the layout Applethorn Jnc (if I've got the name right)

Hope this helps

Phill

Only this one thats any good... the shallow depth of field can be a bit tricky. They are exhibiting this layout at Bolton though, so hopefully I'll get the chance to go and see it again :thumbs:

Spent a lot of time at Oldham King Street today, small but very good layout, I wanted a "dub d" running but got pushed out by this guy who wanted a 40 and kept winging about being late for his lunch;):p:)) .

Aye we tried, and not a mention of shrink wrap, or packaging materials of any kind:p

Great to meet you too Phill, and also Ant and Old Buffer who touched base during the afternoon. The show itself is one of those nice 'middling' ones, and from an exhibitor's perspective it was friendly and well run.

I had a great afternoon at Ponte too, and I see you've already cottoned on to the super Blue diesels on show. I also collared David Hampson about his 76T Cowens & Sheldon Hydraulic crane, and he kindly opened it all up for me to see the innards, including the sound-card! Very impressing, and I'm glad you put me on to him, Phill:thumbs:.I like your bargain purchase too! That looks a pretty neat job, and it (almost) seems a shame to turn in blue (but not quite;)).

I nearly succumbed to the Green Heljan 33 on offer at £375, but managed to resist in favour of some wire and a few BA nuts! :rolleyes:

Hi Boris :)

I managed to resist the 33 too, It might have been a differant story though if it had been blue:cool:........did he still have the blue 47 ? ..........the Steve Beattie 24 body shell looked OK too for £50.

I really liked Oldham King St, interesting layout for a reasonably small space, without looking too condensed IMO :thumbs:

Cheers Phill :)
