Just thinking if its always live on DCC, have you got a safeguard to stop a loco from shooting off the end, if you select the wrong number on the controller? Rich Nice idea Rich, but no, I have NAILS in the one leading to Dore End Yard, but yes a clever idea, that or a pile of cushions on the floor.

Watch this space. trouble is now that I'm not building OO Layouts to sell, I shall struggle to fund it. I've sold my soul to the Devil / Visa Card to get the 33 and Sound. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gismorail Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Some cracking work going on here Andy well done knew you could do it Now how about making those two new sidings into a stabling point or even a parcels depot / works which would mean you could have a nice low relief building with an unloading dock and canopy hiding the exit to the new fiddle yard. You could have the track disappearing between the end of the building and a wall or the corner of another industrial building .......and joking apart this would mean a good reason for purchasing a Dapol 121 / 122 maybe even a GUV or CCT van ........ once unloaded the 121/122 could move onto Dore end fiddle yard refuel and on wards to it's next duty . Wonderful to see the layout being developed .... still reckon there's room for a nice roundy roundy 00 layout above SMS. at about eye level 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have to admit, I have been looking at the Dapol 121 / 2, for the Dore End to Seven Mills Service, but I mustn't get ahead of my self here, I have the Seven Up Jct to hide first and lay the Level Crossing.

D6775 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Good to see things up and running. I noted your comment above about no more buildings on SMS but I have just wondered whether your second fiddle yard could be some kind of transfer shed, something like the steel terminal on our Russel St, would only need the frontage and back rakes of wagons in. You could also change the orientation of the last siding in SMS to give two roads into a building. Red siding below changed to the blue line: Empty wagons in, load, shunt to SMS, re-form the train out to run out to the other FY and empty? Just some random thoughts!! 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks like a nice idea Al, but I prefer the idea of Light Engine and a few Wagons moving from Seven Up Jct and the West Country, to Dore End Yard, and onward to the North, East and South. Still a very good idea though mate. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
