RMweb Gold PjKing1 Posted October 14, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 14, 2019 Quite a bit done over last couple of weeks, all the track is now down on the first board and I’ve started to solder on the droppers, once these are done and it’s all tested I’ll go to work on ballasting the track 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PjKing1 Posted November 6, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 6, 2019 Quite a bit of progress on the siding next to the shed over the last week or two. I’ve firstly ballasted the siding using sand and fine granite chippings, I’ve then rubbed in Das clay to give a gunky look, then the first stage of weathering was applied which was rust to the rail. This was then followed by a mix of talc mixed with black an gunmetal blue paint. I’m pretty pleased so far and I’ve set up a new YouTube channel especially for 8N 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PjKing1 Posted October 5, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 5, 2020 Good morning it’s been I while I must admit but I’m slowly progressing. First up rather than North Mersey Diesel I’ll be renaming it Edge Hill as the layout is based on the real diesel fuelling depot there with only a few tweaks so thought maybe as well give it it’s proper name. Board number two has been built, track laid and the wiring is nearly complete. Also Edge Hill now has its water tower thanks to the very talented Rob Law 10 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Johnson Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Yes Paul, welcome back. That water tower is amazing, as I’m sure the rest of the layout will be. What you’ve done with that grubby bit of track is something else!! Les 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PjKing1 Posted October 12, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 12, 2020 Had an hour before work so having programmed the first Cobalt digital point motor the other day I got it installed to the board this morning with no issues, I skis have to say the ECoS is the best bit of money I’ve ever spent and worth every penny. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PjKing1 Posted October 23, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 23, 2020 Since the last post not much has happened other than I made a start on the base for the water tower, pretty happy how this has turned out with the weeds etc and I also made a start on one of the small details that will be scattered around the depot 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
