Andrew P Posted April 17, 2018 Author Share Posted April 17, 2018 This morning I also received a set of Wheel Drop Stops from Parliamentary Trains, here's a Video borrowed from Two Tone Greens thread. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachmann Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) One of the advantages of working indoors Andy. It's looking good. I need the light and so have to work with the shed door open. Trouble is the pesky rain is coming in horizontally this morn! The Parlaimentary Trains wheeldrop saves some hand-fettling. I made my own two years ago...

Trouble is the pesky rain is coming in horizontally this morn! No Rain here, just overcast Larry, and the Shed is nice and warm and with two x 8ft Florescent Lights and ten feet of windows it's bright as well as warm, had to take my Fleece off this morning. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers mate, I think the Dairy will be just half inch wide with a canopy over the Track, but yes the Station Building will need to be half relief.

Thanks Anthony, If my brain wasn't working and planning, be it Railway, Art Pics or life in general I think I'd go mad. Planning to me is as relaxing as reading a book, and is often done whilst resting the eyes in the arm chair, as this is when I visualize what I can do with an area etc. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) Spot on Andy...and now the heatwave has come, the thoughts flow better I much prefer the summer, I hate cold dark winter nights, and a Garden Railway trundling around would be good, sitting watching with a nice Mug of Tea of a summers evening. Back in the REAL WORLD , I hope to wire up the other bits of Track / Sidings this morning before going to my Cardiac Rehab classes.

Andrew P Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 Back from Rehab, lunch, a snooze in the chair, walked the Dog and then went out to code the 4 Point Motors, the 2 old ones and 1 new one work fine, but one new one is playing up, so waiting for a call back from the supplier I got them from last week. Hopefully 3 will get fitted tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark axlecounter Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Hi Andy, I do hope your going steady buddy. But I must say I'm liking the track plan simple but effective. As I say take it easy please. Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I say take it easy please. Mark Thanks MARK, I'm just doing an hour, or and hour and a half a day in TOPS now, mainly in the mornings, then resting in the afternoons. I'm really pleased with the Track Plan, I wanted the run round loop to have a set of points to go back onto the main, but it would have been tight with the B Set, and impossible to have a Van or Milk Tank on the B Set, so it now runs back to the Fiddle Yard under the Bridge. The Goods Yard is just big enough, and should, with the other original siding coming out from the Fiddle Yard, make shunting interesting still. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
