Marly51 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Lovely project, Stubby! I still have a strip of these LEDs left over from my first lighting experiment in one of my CakeBoxes. At some point, I think I’ll have a go at a boxed-in Micro Layout like yours. I like to base mine on real locations and have identified two or three already. Oh dear, all these ‘AnyRail’ plans waiting to be brought to life!!! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted August 18, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 18, 2019 I like the layout because it's a single board. Yes, it was designed to fit in the estate car boot, which determined the overall length & height, but it still gives plenty of scope for a variety of scenic finishes and buildings. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KNP Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Here you go then...... some rain to compliment the atmosphere Makes me shiver just to look at it. Seems to be set for a while, can't see any break in the cloud at the moment! 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, Sitting outside at the Tre Pol and Pen on the A388 at Lezant, but it was to hot, so moved under cover, and 5 minutes later it started to rain. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted August 21, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 21, 2019 Having weathered two more recent wagon purchase for TF, I set up a small photo area today and proceeded to take a pic of all the TF/GWR wagons, prior to uploading and inserting into a Publisher document, to produce the necessary 'playing cards' for the inglenook shunting puzzle that is TF. Except our work's policy denies access to external hard drives / memory sticks / cards so I'm not able to upload the pics... So I will have to do this tonight, create the publisher doc, which I can then email to work to print out tomorrow, which I can then take home to laminate. Talk about faffing around... 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted August 22, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 22, 2019 An example of the cards used to 'play' Inglenooks. For the 8 wagons on the layout, these get shuffled and 5 are picked and stuck to blue-tac on the layout facia, ready for the next game. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Mikkel Posted August 22, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 22, 2019 Nice cards. I've sometimes wondered if we could play Inglenooks on here, using some simple bit of software and taking turns to make a shunting move. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With cards you can get the kids to pick the first four and then get their nice looking mum to pick the last one. All in the art of interacting with the paying public and entertaining them of course. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted August 24, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 24, 2019 Points didn't work, track has lifted, coupling hooks sticking up, coupling loops drooping, track very dirty plus very hot and bright and awful shadows on the backscene. Put a sheet over the layout top not long after the photo, made it look much better but didn't improve the running. 1 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
treggyman Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Hi Stu It was great catch up with you again & had a couple of really nice chats..... It's a great shame you were having problems as the layout looked superb...... SWMBO was most impressed especially as she instantly recognised the main building having driven past it many times..... i took a few pics but the shadows cast by the shades caused a few problems so here are the best... Although not perfect the light effect is similar to how it looks just before a storm down here where the sky goes black but the sun shines brightly through the gaps in the heavy cloud & picks out small areas of brightness..... Any way keep up the good work...... The modelling is excellent & SWMBO & I both enjoyed Tinners Forge.... See you soon Cheers Bill 18 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Stu I tried your sheet method, couldn't see if the running had improved as the layout was covered in a sheet. It didn't even look any better because of the sheet. Not sure anyone wants to see photos of a lumpy sheet. Must have done something wrong. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
