RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted June 6, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 6, 2019 I've now put the rear loop in place, with correctly positioned live and insulating fishplates and all is working well. I tried to install a Peco 009 uncoupling ramp, but am not overly happy with it as a retro fit ( after the track) so may resort to a more home-made, bodged-up mechanism instead. Next up is the pipework for the tanks and over the std gauge entrance. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted June 9, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 9, 2019 The pipework, frame and the corrugated awning over the pipes' entry into the building have been primed. Should get to paint and fit these this week. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted June 11, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 11, 2019 First lighting rig added, using a strip of LEDs. I think it needs a second one, across the middle of the layout. 8 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to tell from a screen image Stu, but to me that has just the right look for a wintry sky full of snow. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold SHMD Posted June 11, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 11, 2019 I was actually more interested in how the "punters" phone-phots would turn out in terms of the shadows cast. (Left to right weighting depending upon which end you were nearer.) Another point of view - literally! Kev. (Great stuff Stubby) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Left to right weighting depending upon which end you were nearer.) Another point of view - literally! Kev. (Great stuff Stubby) One of the problems I've had before with presenting layouts is not having the top covered. This lets in the lighting from the venue, which has cast unwanted shadows on the back or side screens. This first strip of LEDs lights up the front of the layout (but not quite far enough forwards yet, as the Nissan hut door is not lit properly), but leaves a lower level of light nearer the back, so I think a second strip will help. Power comes from the 12v dc regulated output from the back of the H&M Clipper, so the light level can be adjusted if required. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted June 13, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) Pipes. Needs painting and a valve wheel added to the outlet pipe. And a ladder over the wall. And an inlet pipe to the main tank. Edited June 13, 2019 by Stubby47 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Alister_G Posted June 14, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 14, 2019 Stu, please forgive me, but the bund round the tank needs to be oil or water tight, to contain any potential spillage. It therefore really needs a back wall - I don't think the stone wall behind is sufficient. Al. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, they only had Terriers, P2s, 07s, Sentinels and other such unwanted stuff. Ah well. I've got fleets of 08s, 03s or panniers to use instead. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted June 14, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 14, 2019 (edited) That's basically what I'll be doing. The facia has bowed slightly, due to only painting one side, so I might try a T piece to straighten/strengthen it, on which I will also stick the lights.

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted June 17, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 17, 2019 Not too sure about the two glare areas at the back corners. I need to add a full cover which will remove any room lighting. Happy with the slight coldness too, as mentioned it suits a wintery day. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted June 17, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) A Peckett would add to the overall picture in a pre-modernist overture to the post - modern dictatorial homage which nods at the totalitarian approach on the subject of light and shade.
