Layout & loco update - 22nd August 2021 - Last third of the build AND Bachmann 66065 does DCC Sound & Barbie visits her new home
22nd August 2021
Having recently changed to a new project manager who has the time and know how to complete the project. The layout has also been moved nearer to its eventual position and as part of preliminary inspections, the layout wiring has been adjusted and is all now working as it was originally plumbed in - thank you @amertonman.
@amertonman has also been tasked with harnassing the third of my DCC sound chips for a Class 66 to a recent acquisition, Bachmann's most recent DB Cargo Class 66, 66100 Armistice, having already done so with rebranded DBS 66s, creating red 66009 and 66065.
The previously seen Class 60s, DBC 60100 and DBS 60007 and the Class 67, 67028 have been culled to grow my Bachmann DB90 pool, having now got to seven, with four now DCC sound fitted.
The project as it is has the following still to do:
1 Concrete Hardstanding areas completed between the tracks - and outside both the electric shed and long term maintenance shed
2 Backscene mounted for the full eight foot
3 lighting inserted into the buildings (main shed, staffroom facilities, regional office and portacabin)
4 Assembly of the nBrass Multitrack gantries, applicable cantilevers along with the PECO catenary masts and the wires
5 Any other remaining things which come to light
This evening Barbie got to see her new home alongside Multimodal and two red sheds, 66065 and 66100
