Tigh Charran - The Construction So Far.

I have tried to bring in some of the content from my layout thread on the old board, but it didn't work. So anyway a brief summary of the construction.

 

Baseboards:

 

Constructed by Grandad and I, using 5mm MDF, 2 x 1 for Legs and Strengthening, and Shelf Brackets for support.

 

Track:

 

Is all PECO Code 100, using concrete sleepers. All the points are insulfrog, and made live for dcc by using the Hornby DCC Electroclips. The hard standing area is constructed using card from used refill pads from work.

 

Buildings:

 

The station is the Hornby Great Waterton Station from the Thomas the Tank Engine range, as is the footbridge. The platforms are a Metcalfe Kit, Depot buildings to date are from Bachmann, and the Oil Unloading Depot is from Hornby Skaledale, as is the Overbridge, and Signal Box.

 

Stock:

 

Bachmann Class 37 with Sound, 2 x Bachmann Mark 1s (BCK and SK), Bachmann TTAs. The fleet will hopefully be expanded with the introduction of a Heljan 26 fitted with Sound, and an additional Bachmann 37 with Sound but with a Large Logo. Other stock to follow include GUV and NCX for parcels, another couple of TTAs, a Class 101, and of course the Hornby ODAs when they are released next year.
