RMweb Gold Popular Post Stubby47 Posted December 29, 2016 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) Whilst my thoughts are leaning mainly towards the Harbour layout, I thought I could build a fairly quick small yard shunting plank. This will allow me to try out some new (to me) scenery techniques and also form an alternative plug-in module to Treamble. The plan is this - quite simple really The baseboard is refurbished from this And this building deserves a place on a proper layout.

Nearholmer Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) Interesting! Name? How about 'Trefot', which is the old Swedish version of the yard, three Swedish feet, and runs out at 29/32" shorter than an imperial yard......... it is, in fact, a small yard. The 'Tre' sounds a bit Cornish too. Kevin Edited December 29, 2016 by Nearholmer 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyram Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 This looks an interesting project. The building definitely needs to be used. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted December 30, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 30, 2016 Thanks for all the name suggestions. For no apparent reason I can think of, I'm considering 'Tinker's Forge'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyram Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 That sounds like a good name. I am still trying to think of one for my "Christmas project" - a factory based shunting layout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted December 31, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 31, 2016 This is how the planned layout would fit in the surrounding area. The roads will have Cornish hedges each side, with trees either behind or growing from the top. The upper right corner will be the high point, the lower left the lowest point of the ground. Around the end of the pair of siding will be an earth bank, leading to the overgrown, cracked paving loading bank, and sloping the other way down to the triangular area between the sidings. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted December 31, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) Got a BWT, and a Sentinal ( the Model Rail one), and a Peckett to be purchased when I can. Also fancy seeing a Class 22 here, maybe even a 20 or a 24/25. I've also got a few clay wagons, both flat and hoods, so an occasional exchange movement might be in order.

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted January 2, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 2, 2017 Looking good Stu. Will this be a true inglenook with regard to siding lengths? Thanks. Yes, the sidings will suit a 5-3-3 Inglenook, each with an electro-magnet, though the longer siding might get two, to allow wagons to be left further along ( when in non-puzzle mode). Points and two sidings are down, but the temperature in the garage plummeted just after 4pm so I stopped for the day. Next job is to draw up the DC wiring diagram, I'm planning for two locos and the possibility of using DCC, as sound should work well on here with the planned enclosed space between the backscene and a roof holding the lighting. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted January 2, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 2, 2017 Why not have a go? Good to learn new skills. No, wimped out. Plus I want to bury the track in earth, rather than ballast stones. I like the look of Mikkel's track in filler. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted January 4, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 4, 2017 Final piece of track laid, testing has commenced and so far is satisfactory. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
