SGJ Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 I am thinking of scenery near the signal box, the idea is to have a embankment with trees on it so will be quite simple, the alternative is to have a set of low relief factory's, I am liking the greenery the most. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGJ Posted January 16, 2022 Author Share Posted January 16, 2022 A video again with a pair of 20s, a 90, two 150`s and two 47s The fiddle yard is getting bigger next weekend, currently its 6 roads, It will be 8 roads when I`m done, hopefully with point motors added to the far end ( it could even be done through the week depending on the daughters homework for the GCSE`s ). Oh yes, the video... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGJ Posted January 22, 2022 Author Share Posted January 22, 2022 Just added the extra two roads for Mulberry Junction bringing the fiddle yard from six lines to eight, four on the up, and four on the down. I also used a shortened MGR rake to check if there would be derailments, If anything were to come off the rails it would be them old HAA`s 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGJ Posted February 19, 2022 Author Share Posted February 19, 2022 I have decided to re do the ballasting, before it goes down again I am going to take a couple of inches away on the curve behind the depot, ( the track is close to a part of a frame for my roof ) to get continuity with the scenery a little better with the look of the layout overall hopefully.
