robrailltd Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 the micro vest is fine if he is to be a shunter/fitter/driver. Pway lads tend to be cald head to foot in orange but not always depending where they are. the sidings a vest would be fine if they are just collecting rubbish as thats not mainline or delivering new stone/rails collecting used. Mainline head to toe day glo orange is the law. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beresford Junction Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 What make and colours is the 'green stuff' you are using? Hi Guy It's all Woodland Scenics: The small is 'Blended Turf' - greeen blend - like dust. The medium is 'Course Turf' - light green The large is 'Foliage Clusters' - medium green - big bits you can break down if needed. Phil 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're on NR property under the control of a COSS or working IWA it is all orange. Also remember that staff now will have orange trousers on as a matter of course and wouldn't be changing their trousers when visiting different locations!

Beresford Junction Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 Again James yes that is what should happen and as a driver i can assure doesn't always happen. And certainly not at Beresford Junction (until I buy some different people ). Thanks for your combined wisdom on the subject. Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robrailltd Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Your welcome. I have more ideas. stop groaning.... painted markings. have noticed that an odd pandrol clip painted white with a number scribbled in paint on the sleeper recently. marking out pandrols needing checks. also noted that a track recording machine has been through and left paint marks about a yard long every 100 foot to denote an area requiring further work.

Keep them coming - I noticed this number painted on the sleeper of a point and thought I might have a go doing something similar. It also appeared to have some kind of device (the yellow screw thing at the bottom of the picture) from stopping the point being thrown. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robrailltd Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 yellow device is a clamp/lock when you hear about points being clamped and lock they are used. think the 20 is a crued reference to points number 20. you also need some orange piping between sleepers for cable runs. non rail but bus related you going to alton rally on sunday?

Thanks, and yes it appeared to be points 20. I was also thinking about the orange cable piping, and have some orange wire I was going to try using, but first I need to work out where it needs to go, signals, junction boxed, troughs.... oh and I still need to make some buckets. I thought I might go along to the Alton Model Railway Group -Exhibition Day – Sunday 17 July 2011 which is happening at the same time as the bus rally.

Beresford Junction Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 Having checked the most up to date regs, orange hi-vis trousers and jackets have been issued to all track-side workers, with anyone else re-deployed to work on the platforms. James - is that you third from the left? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Well when I worked for GrantRail we all had orange and blue jackets! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beresford Junction Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 you also need some orange piping between sleepers for cable runs. The newly arrived orange jacket wearers have just installed the first of the cable runs. They just wish someone had asked them to do it before the ballast was laid and soaked in glue.... Of course now I'm going to need some trough... Phil 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beresford Junction Posted July 17, 2011 Author Share Posted July 17, 2011 non rail but bus related you going to alton rally on sunday? I did and had a good time despite the rain. Look who was there with his bus... Phil 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beresford Junction Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 Gav While I remember, can you see if you can get a shot of one of those signs you were talking about on Sunday that I need on the entrance to the sidings? Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beresford Junction Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 A new addition to Beresford Junction - thanks to Chris and RM Marketplace. Here on freight duty and here in a somewhat packed station area with some RES coaches. While I've been 'off air', I've been working on the other side of the layout but am trying to hold back on the photos until all the track is stuck down and ballasted - so I can't change my mind ;-) Phil 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
