RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted October 20, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 20, 2019 So apart from 50% of the point motors failing this morning, not a bad weekend at the Bodmin show. The point was fixed with blue tac, a paper clip and a length of plastic tube. I think I'll replace the Seeps with servos, as well as moving the control panel to the other end of the layout. All before the show in January. 2 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely, but a few flowering weeds and some broader leafed foliage wouldn't go amiss. Elsewhere around the layout there are other areas to enhance, not least the bare trees and some of the fencing. But the there's T-CATS to finish, and the PSMT, and the Harbour layout to build and a Scottish themed layout, and I've just been pondering on making wagon turn tables work with rope haulage into the warehouse... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A strong magnet, on a stick, under the track will attract the wagon axles. You can then move the wagon by moving the stick. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can then move the wagon by moving the stick. I've previously used a bicycle spoke, but I'm thinking some thing a little more automated. As I use tension locks, I should be able to add a loop to a wire to pull/push on the vertical part of the hook and thus move the wagon. I need to experiment, but I know what I mean. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that would work. I was thinking of something that couldn't be seen in action. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted May 24, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 24, 2020 Instead of adding lots of weeds to the end of the siding( which will still need doing), I thought a little weedy diorama might be fun. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted September 10, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 10, 2021 Things are getting back to normal. I have just been invited to bring a layout to the Cornwall Model Railway Exhibition on Oct 31st, so TF will be collected from the loft, dusted down, fixed where necessary (there is a rogue point motor I seem to remember) and dragged out in front of the paying punters once more. Oo-er, best get a move on. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted October 16, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 16, 2021 (edited) TF has been retrieved from the loft in preparation for it's outing at the Cornwall Model Railway show at Carn Brea on Sunday 31st October. It needs a good clean, the one duff point motor replacing and the backscene re-attaching. Oh, and a new lighting rig and a roof.
