A Brief Recap....

Evening all!

 

It seems like a very long time ago that I posted details of a little 2FS layout, designed as a shunting plank, but also intended to give me experience of using the newly introduced Easitrac components. After my last post featuring the layout here in early August, I wired-up some of the track, and the part-complete layout appeared on the 2mm Roadshow stand at the N Gauge Show at Leamington Spa in September, with a Farish class 24 loco converted to 2FS running up and down on the few inches of track available. Then the layout got plonked on a shelf in my spare room and was forgotten about while I got on with some DIY projects.

 

The photo below shows the current state of play (with evidence of the DIY in the background!).

I've had to remove the rails from part of the track as they got snagged while I was moving the layout, and the turnout blades need filing and fitting, along with some sort of turnout operating unit. Now that the dark winter evenings are here (not to mention the sizeable amount of snow!) I hope to get cracking again soon. I have a pile of Catfish and Dogfish wagon kits waiting to be built and the Class 24 is crying out for some detailing and weathering.

 

Lastly, I've decided on a name - 'Carreg'. According to a Welsh dictionary, it means 'stone'. Confirmation of this from any Welsh speakers would be appreciated!

 

Hopefully the next update won't be far away, and there may be a couple of interesting diversions coming along soon as well! ;)

Good to see you back in front line action Andy!

 

How about 'Cae Carreg'? Stone field (Keye Ca-reg).

Good to see you back at it Andy.

 

Today, I weathered my Cl24, having repaired the chip wiring on my Cl04 earlier in the week.

 

This is the first modelling I have done since the AGM. Must get my layout out now and move that along!

Thanks for the comments everyone :)

 

I like that name Bryn - thanks!

 

Tony - the only modelling I've done recently was a couple of days demo-ing 2mm wagon building at the Warley show. I look forward to seeing a few updates of progress with Brafferton ;) .

 

Hi Pete, Missy. There will hopefully be a few updates coming before Christmas - it would be nice to get the track finished before I head south for the Christmas hols.
