RMweb Premium St Enodoc Posted February 23, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 23, 2018 A Harley D? Now, young fella it has to be a Triumph.... Baz I seem to recall that one of our contemporaries (Ian H?) rode a Norton Commando. Now that was a bike to be reckoned with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard i Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I was looking for a trumpy, but couldn't seem to find a decent one in the time frame i had.We have a trumpy here in the states that half would happily ship to Australia. The other half are quite attached to him. Speak to the right people and you could get him at a knock down price.Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Sim Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 Spent the day with the BRMA yesterday at the Forrestville exhibition. Made a start on my 4 arch road bridge that goes accross the layout, developments will continue on here. Also has the opportunity to operate Uley Junction, an O gauge layout. Here I am, with Charles, running a muck. It was an excellent day, cant wait till next time. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Bathurst Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Hi Jesse, Superb layout. I have just found your topic thread and will enjoy reading and following your updates. What size is the layout? Also do you have a complete track plan. I had a brief look through but didn't see a track plan for the layout. Look forward to following your updates and enjoying your superb modelling. Scott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Sim Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) Morning all, Little to no updates lately, mainly due to underboard wiring and point motoring work, all needed for the coming BRMA running session on in April. But I did get some stuff done the last couple of days worth taking a photo of. Track is now painted, it does look very brown, however, it's mainly down to the cork underneath copping the paint can too. So, as soon as the ballast is down, the brown will calm down a bit and it will look much more natural. Then I can begin to weather the track and tone it down in a few nooks and crannies. Also painted the inside of what is a representation of Peasecliffe Tunnel. You can now see the inside after a second coat of paint and the effect it has once the top board is screwed in place. It actually looks like a tunnel! The inside from the reach whole I created. The board that sits on top is designed to be removable in case of a failed point or point motor and cleaning if need be. There will be another board that does not get screwed down that sits on top,, in order for it to slide out and then it leaves me access to the screws on the bottom piece of plywood. Looking from the fiddleyard entrance. Lovely! Edited March 15, 2018 by Jesse Sim 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Sim Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 Slowly getting there! Mitch and myself smashed out four point motors and wired up every drop wire that was left to do last night. Progress is slowly on its way forward. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Sim Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 So only 4 days left until the BRMA are here, so spent the whole weekend yesterday afternoon and all of today working on the layout. The Friday and Saturday we spent riding Motorcycles whoops! Never the less Myself and Mitch smashed out heaps of fiddleyard point motors. I also re started the road bridge, instead of a plasticard carcass I opted for a Ply wood one, as you see in the first photo. My mate Dylan who is a Chippy helped out today with a raised board, so we both got stuck into that. You can just see Mitch under the board in the far corner wiring up some Cobalts. Here he is, with my little sister Ash helping out today too. Here is the not so finished result of the timber work. Gives a nice idea of how the scenery will flow round the bend. Well I hope it will to the BRMA. I'll post some more photos tomorrow morning from our work from 5:00pm-8:30pm ! HA!.....I'm so tired. Watch this space! Happy Easter! 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
