That's so true (said Bealman, propped up in his hospital bed)

Hope it all gets sorted.

What a wonderful layout   And I've only watched 25% of it so far.
Modelling at its best

That is excellent. Like Chris, I've only watched a tiny bit of it, but will watch the rest. Pete Waterman certainly had competition there!

All Uber cool.

That is so true, and apart from moving house, that's exactly what I do. But seeing as I'm in hospital, I guess I've even done that this year. I'm not sure it's this weekend here anyway!

Not that it means much to me - in the words of Phil Collins, " Just another day in dripadise"

I'd love to hear about that.

You resurrected a 5 year old thread. Neither model was available when the last post was made. You've asked previously about performance of the Revolution one. They're very good models, that run smoothly. Likewise the Dapol one is fine, let down by poor decoration and incorrect headlights. They're available very cheaply though if you're not fussed by that. 

@port perran - They look and sound good on your awesome layout.

I've got three of the Class 59s which I run on my layout when I'm operating in modern image mode.
They are, I think, nice models which run really nicely.
They cope well with really slow speeds if that is something you want.
Here's a little video of my three (plus a Class 66)

What a fabulous layout! It shows the level of realism achievable in the larger scales. I've only watched the first ten minutes or so but I will watch the rest in due course.

However, what is this I see? Did I spot an interloper, a Gresley carriage at about 4:45? I'm not well versed in GW carriages, or GW anything to be honest, so it could be from the right neck of the woods after all.

Thanks for posting, Martin.

Cheers,

Chris
