RMweb Premium Jason T Posted March 13, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 13, 2012 Is the name a play on Kirkby Lonsdale by any chance (which, of course, is on the River Lune).

Hi Sandside, The name is actually a play on Newbiggin-on-Lune and Kirkby Stephen both on the A685, a journey I regularly make. It could well have been related to Kirkby Lonsdale, though! The aim will be to produce something with an S&C flavour, and both these locations match the criteria for the scenery that surrounds them.

60091 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Great to see you've started your new layout topic for what I will, from now on, call Kirby Luneside. I now understand why you weren't able to rush into building the layout. That's some major preparatory work you've had to do there. As another poster said, I don't think you can start too early to show the construction of a new layout .Even describing the work needed to create the room where it's to be housed can be of interest. Having converted the garage the woodwork for the actual layout should present no problems.... I don't suppose you,re available to do attic conversions?....!!! Good luck with project...will keep in touch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with project...will keep in touch. Hi 60091, glad you've stumbled across my thread. The work shown above was done a few months back before it got a bit on the cold side. Since then I've fitted the wiring for the electrics, though I've not gone "live" yet... a few double sockets and switches to keep me happy. 3 weeks ago I started on the ceiling and the walls. Walling is 12mm exterior plywood (8 x 4 ft sheet). The ceiling has been fitted with Kingspan, battoned and is ready for plasterboards - they may go on this weekend. A couple more images show progress to a few days ago, It's great fun! A bit of woodwork is a good stress reliever after hurling Physics at students for a few hours a day.

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted March 13, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 13, 2012 Smashing stuff - as it happens I had mine built like that (woodwork definitely not being my thing) and I think you'll find the insulation and ply finish works well; I've also got an insulated pedestrian door. One tip which you might find useful is to insulate the floor - mine is waterproof chipboard on top of a thin layer of insulation which is turn sits on the concrete which itself has 4 inches of insulation on top of the dpc membrane - definitely more comfy underfoot than than the other side of the centre partition which is just a concrete floor.

I think he was disappointed both his sons went to uni instead of learning a trade. Will keep you posted! Jeff My version of 'gardening' tends to involve things like a mini-digger (hired) and a concrete mixer (probably my best investment when we moved house) but after laying 50 square metres of patio, and more to do, plus several hundred bricks etc and so on there comes a time .... Coincidentally my dad was also a carpenter but alas the cutting wood square gene passed me by (however I did have a couple of great grandfathers and a grandfather who at various times were on the perway although I don't think I've inherited the gene for relaying/fettling up baulk road either ).

artizen Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 So is the plywood cheaper or better than plasterboard for the walls? I would expect wooden walls in Australia would be frowned on for fire risk and termites at least. When I converted the space behind the garage into a work-from-home office, I was told in no uncertain manner to use only cement sheeting on all the walls in case we ever had rain! So yes, the last two summers have been the wettest on record and I have now had minor flooding under the house on seven different occasions - so far. I agree about floor insulation - I put down artificial wooden floorboards on an insulating (and waterproof) membrane. That was after the tech installing the printer told me in no uncertain manner that the amount of dust in the room would kill the machinery in about two weeks! Only thing missing is airconditioning to cope with the summer heat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted March 25, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 25, 2012 So is the plywood cheaper or better than plasterboard for the walls? I would expect wooden walls in Australia would be frowned on for fire risk and termites at least. When I converted the space behind the garage into a work-from-home office, I was told in no uncertain manner to use only cement sheeting on all the walls in case we ever had rain!

At current UK prices the comparison is about £20: £5 for a 240cm x 120cm board. I've used ply on the background 4" x 2" frames as it's much more durable (and we don't have termites to contend with - I hope!!). The walls will have a subframe fitted (keep watching this thread) in a few months to allow an open-top baseboard to go on top. My current layout (in a bedroom) has the subframe onto plasterboard. While this worked ok, I thought the extra durability of 12mm ply would be better here, given the larger size of the layout - hence extra weight. I think it's definitely overkill. Friends have already started referring to my garage conversion as the local "nuclear bunker"!! Best wishes, Jeff 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 It certainly does look to be a very substantial wall, but at least it should last and keep the heat in. I am envious of those with carpentry skills, as mine are virtually non-existent and usually end up with more problems than I was trying to solve. The progress is looking good and I wish you luck with the layout. I look forward to seeing a proposed trackplan, if there is one at this early stage.

Ironically, I was the first in my family not to go into a "trade". Dad was a joiner, grandad was a "brickie", I ended up studying Einstein!! But the "woodwork gene" somehow got through - I'm certainly no expert, but I do like building things. I will PM you an outline trackplan.

RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted March 25, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 25, 2012 (edited) Hello again Jon, Since you've had trouble with the plan in the PM I will post the jpeg here. The plan is a "working sketch" - no track will be laid until later this year. Double track main line, a branch, a bridge and viaduct and dominant scenery were my requirements. The goods area is to allow "play value" with lots of shunting. Fiddle-yard is below the rising hillside which dominates the bottom half of the plan. Storage for 8 - 10 locos with trains up to 2.5m long. Layout will be DCC with Cobalt motors on all points. Hope the plan gets through this time...let me know! Jeff Btw, minimum radius is 24"/60cm - most curves are around 80cm. Edited March 25, 2012 by Physicsman 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Thanks Jeff, that is much better. I am sure that the problem is probably my laptop settings but I am not sure. Yes that looks like an excellent layout for endless variety, with branch locals, shunting, and occasional main line services. If you run a steam era layout you could even have the Carlisle track train, double headed by 8Fs, or 9Fs at times. However, the scale train length of that might not fit in the fiddle sidings.

I would like to run the "kop-out" era... 1960-1970, so I can justify my 9Fs hauling stone/black 5s with a passenger service or hammer my green diesels. It will be interesting to see what happens. The great thing about this hobby is its unpredictability! Jeff 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 And why not? It sounds good to me. There were lots of interesting combinations in that era. New diesels on test, steam and diesel combos, Scottish based engines venturing south from time to time, Midlands based locos venturing north. The list is almost endless.

You sound like a true S&C fan! In my opinion the line has everything - plenty of different operations and superb scenery. I just wish I had twice the space - most of it would be used for scenery. If you haven't already checked it out, have a look at 60091's S&C layout in N gauge. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachmann Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 The only thing that seems to be missing from your layout plan is the Midland "S&C" goods yard layout that so typified the stations in the area you are modelling. The track layout with good shed, run round loop and slip was pretty standard at Garsdale, Lazonby, Kirkby Stephen and Armathwaite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The layout plan is still a work in progress and I do enjoy playing around with the details! I've looked at the details of a number of S&C stations, including Kirkby Stephen, and will settle on a final plan once tracklaying commences.

coachmann Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 It's a pretty straightforward layout that can be bent to suit requirements.... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
