Wayne 37901 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 (edited) Hi Chris, Hope you don't mind me sharing these but here's a couple of photos I took of Dock Street while operating at Thornbury. A quite moment at Dock Street as the shunters take a break and head to the bothy for a cuppa and a sarnie. 20172 sits ready to leave the yard with a speedlink trip working. Just a few wagons left in the yard for the next trip to sort out. Thanks for letting me have a play once again, I've decided to introduce a card system for my shunting layout Tunnock Yard, in addition to this there will be fixed trains that arrive to run round. Cheers Wayne Edited December 26, 2018 by Wayne 37901 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted January 17, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) Some pictures from WSM - you may spot I've been experimenting with greenery...

Wayne 37901 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 The Extra greenery looks good Chris. If I may make one suggestion, the tree at the level crossing end looks like it dominates the scene a little too much. Purely a thought of course, it's still a great layout. I intended to come down to Weston but work got in the way. Cheers Wayne Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted January 17, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 17, 2019 Good call Wayne - I've actually made the trees for another layout I'm building which will need big trees - I'm hoping to get some more made soon and will see what looks right 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Extra greenery looks good Chris. If I may make one suggestion, the tree at the level crossing end looks like it dominates the scene a little too much. In a similar vein, I don’t think it’s the size but the location. Try moving it closer to the end, to balance the trees on the road side. This will frame the layout, and balance it in a Norman/Rice style. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted January 17, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 17, 2019 I shall experiment! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonPotter Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Lovely stuff and inspirational for something I’m working on. Have you used Magnets for the Kadees (if so, what) or do you manually operate? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you used Magnets for the Kadees (if so, what) or do you manually operate? Hi Jon I have one Code 83 magnet between the rails (which are code 75) one wagons length back from the first point - near the small office building. One is enough because of the delayed action - as long as track and layout are level! I have a skewer near to hand for any fiddling that is needed. Reliability is not bad but NB I've used boxed couplers rather than those designed for NEM pockets for everything but the locos and I use a box coupler equipped brake van coupled to the loco for shunting purposes.

Guest Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Just found it. A wonderful layout. Is it Peco code 75 track ? Or maybe I missed something ... Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted February 14, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 14, 2019 (edited) Thanks for the kind words - Yes - its bog standard Code 75 - it was just built quickly as a test track but then it got a life...I'm experimenting with a slightly larger version using the new Bullhead Peco track. Simiar plan but with single branchline at front of Inglenook for DMU etc if wanted. Working title is "Exchange Sidings".

Wayne 37901 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Hi Chris, Looks great with some corporate blue stock. I bet the track was groaning under the weight of that 40 though! Cheers, 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
