RMweb Gold Howl03 Posted August 8, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 8, 2018 It’s been a while since I’ve posted on here. So i thought I would share my latest layout. It all started a few months ago when I acquired the Dapol windmill kit. Having finished the kit, I decided it needed a home. So this is what I came up with. This is my first venture into 009, And i like what can be fitted into a small space. The layout measures 70cm x 54cm. All the track is Peco set track. The windmill and cottage are both Dapol kits, the barn is a Wills kit and the station building is Peco. The figures are from monty’s and the horse and cart are from Dartcasting. I Have taken more photos that I’ll post shortly, thanks for looking regards Paul. 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke the train spotter Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I really like all the little details and the fact that everything is Matt. What is the fiddle yard like? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Howl03 Posted August 9, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 9, 2018 I really like all the little details and the fact that everything is Matt. What is the fiddle yard like? Thank you Luke. The fiddle yard is just a single track that runs round the back. The controller and two battery boxes one for the station lamp and one that powers the windmill are also just behind the back scene. I will hopefully make a video of the windmill working and trains running in the next couple days, and post it on here. Regards Paul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johna Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Just looking at your wonderful layout Paul. I see you are using settrack points but do you find at problems with Loco stalling etc Johna Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Howl03 Posted August 16, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 16, 2018 Just looking at your wonderful layout Paul. I see you are using settrack points but do you find at problems with Loco stalling etc Johna Thank you Johna. No problems at the moment with the set track point. Although I only have the one 009 locomotive, and this runs on a very reliable Kato chassis. Regards Paul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Howl03 Posted August 19, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 19, 2018 Decided to add some passengers to the coaches. The figures are from Dart Castings. I first stuck them to a piece of wood and sprayed them black then built up the layers using games workshops paints. Thanks for looking Regards Paul 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke the train spotter Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Well the look very natural and really compliment the coaches - a Matt pallette is the key to realism! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Howl03 Posted August 22, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 22, 2018 A new arrival at Windmill lane. A Baldwin class 10-12-D ‘peggy’ by Bachmann. Need to weather and add loco crew. Really impressed at how well it runs especially at low speed. Thanks for looking. Regards Paul. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
