Oh yes, great stuff Dave. Nice to see the Pretendelino in action.

Oh yes, great stuff Dave. Nice to see the Pretendelino in action.

Indeed it is, will it cost £40M+ to decide if it needs rebranding?

Thankfully Dave will still drive just the same, no matter whose livery the loco bears.

Great depot Dave. I especially like that grey portal crane. Playmobil is coming along nicely, as is your layout!

 

[CoggesRailway]

Very nice Dave... I think that playmobil loco is on my, i mean the kids, christmas list...

 

[Dave Hub]

Hello a quick update from me,
Firstly thanks for all the messages about the birth of our little boy.

Secondly I needed a Station building, I needed it in relief due to the shortage of space, and I needed it in a budget. So I bought a Rosenbach station and bashed it until it was in relief format. Cost me about £60 and some hard graft. All I need now are some new station signs. The rosenbach ones are temporay until the new ones arrive.

Very nice Dave

 

[mike]

dam that brought back a lot off memeoures

 

[steinman]

Great stuff Dave, The Piko kits are ideal to bash into low relief buildings, I used a Piko station kit that I got cheap for this low relief building

 

[whatlep]

Excellent Dave. More pictures please!

 

[Dave Hub]

We are forcast heavey snow tomorrow, as a precursor we have had a few showers tonight which bought Mugglesford to a halt.
hopefully during daylight the works team can plough the station clear.

Mugglesford needs wizardry to get things clear Dave.

Looking forward to seeing some snow running.

Don't think I will venture out today - 1. working. 2. tooooo cold

 

[Bram]

Good work Dave, but I agree with Chris, watching snow is an indoor sport.

 

[Gizzy]

Nice work Dave!

I believe though, I now know the reason with regard to your reputation for crashes.

No so much your driving as your track maintenance....

 

[Dave Hub]

Its still chucking snow down, compare these pics to the ones from last night. Still no trains but the buildings look good.

 

[Dave Hub]

The snow still falls,

An attempt to clear the sonw has failed, it's just too deep, and I don't have enough motive power that works off battery power.

Here are the pics of the failure.

You may also remember seeing a worker next to the transformer house, he is now burried awaiting mountain rescue.

Great snow plough pics, have you got a big EWS 66 to go behind that plough too?

 

[Dave Hub]

Yes James I do have an EWS CL. 66, it is track power though, and I don't want to use electricity while the snow is still falling at this pace. (for obvious reasons)

 

[chris m01]

Don't worry about the electrics Dave. Track power works fine in the snow.
I did go out lunch time. At least my snow plow made an impression

At this point I decided to go indoors before my fingers dropped off. I did get a few seconds of vid on the iphone - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEu-dGb_yAw&feature=youtu.be < Link To http://www.youtube.com/wa...w&feature=youtu.be
