    At the end of last year I started work on an extension to the layout

    Heres an introduction to the Deepdale Garden Railway with an overview of the layout from last year 🙂 All the track and buildings are scratch built and the locos are a mix of kit and scratch built and all are battery remote controlled

    Oh my! That is a different animal in O gauge 😁

    I couldn't put my finger on why the wheels didn't look quite right till I looked at a photo and realised it's the massive counter weights have yet to be added 🙂

    A long overdue update but it seems my photos haven't survived the forum update! Here's a video of the progress so far. The track on the elevated boards is literally just sat in place currently so will be fixed down once I'm happy with it

    Correct

    This discharge curve of a cap is going to screw you over unless you have some sort of boost converter to regulate the voltage

    In the steelworks it appears to have been late 70s/early 80s

    Do you know?

    So why did the 08s have hatches in the cab roof and ladders up the radiators? What was the actual requirement to be accessed up there so much so both ladders and a roof hatch were provided?

    and a rough approximation of what the complete layout will look like

    Flangeway are producing their snowplough in O gauge, I've already registered interest in a pair of them

    Another 08 on the bench for radio/battery conversion And think I've finalised the track plan for the other side of the garden
  22. dan_the_v8man
    I've also been testing a new board for Fil of Fils Battery Trains which works great! Reed switch stuck on the side switches the power on and off so when the roof is placed on the batteries are in circuit Did some speed testing with a 3 lipo cells
  23. dan_the_v8man
    I found one of the new sections had a bit of a dip in it so roughed it all up and recasted screed to bring it back up to level Plenty of SBR to hopefully get absorbed into the screed https://youtu.be/CkRmiQerKeI
  24. dan_the_v8man
    After more concreting I thought it was a good idea to get some track down temporarily and do some testing with another Dapol Class 08 I converted to radio control today I also removed the unprotected lipo from the Class 20 and made up a higher capacity replacement from individual protected cells

    My new arrival turned up today
