On Monday this week with the help of my friend Chris - builder of baseboards and designer of electrics - the lift out section Board 19 was fitted to complete the full circuit of the layout and some test trains were run to prove the electrics. On tuesday the local Scalefour Society area group had their monthly meeting and the layout was subjected to an evening of, in the main, successful running a variety of locos and rolling stock. Due to the numbers attending it was not possible to take any suitable videos so today I took the attached video of a passenger train - Bachmann 3F 43762 with four Mk1s and a 8F 48305 on a freight passing the shed.

 

The Bachmann 3F is modified with a set of drop in Ultrascale wheels and has no compensation.
The 8F is based on an upgraded Comet chassis and Hornby body - please correct me if I'm wrong Morgan.

Hi Robin.

It must be most satisfying to have stuff running right round at last. Very smooth, too. Interesting sounds though!

The 3F and Mk1's are certainly loud and amplified by an empty shed as are my movements with the camera. The slight clicking with the 8F is likely to be an issue connecting rod and valve gear clearance of which Morgan is aware.

 

You must bring some of your stock down for a session.

Loved that. Must have been a lovely shed to pass, put frustrating for spotters, out from under one bridge, quick glimpse of locos, under another bridge and away...

 

And all that in the days before speaking the numbers into a voice recorder....
