RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted August 4, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 4, 2019 Hi Simon, I must admit that though crossed my mind too. Nothing worse that having to rip up track. Says the man who put a left point in situ instead of a right... I cannot see one on this ariel photos taken in the 1930's. Nothing mentioned in the book. Taken a couple of snaps, once again credit to Mike Fenton. Cheers, Ade. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisbr Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Whilst not claiming to be an expert, surely the headshunt past 7 points provides protection for the passenger line? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daifly Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 The date of the model will be important. Passenger services ended in 1951. The signalling was removed in 1956 when the signal cabin was demolished and all of the points became operated by adjacent levers. The protection afforded by the crossover linkage (points 7) and fpl 8 would presumably not be needed for a goods-only line. Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted August 4, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 4, 2019 The layout will be representing the late 1930s through to early BR days. Cheers Ade. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simond Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Indeed the headshunt w/could work as protection as Chris proposes, and, from the locking table, the crossover is locked by the mainline signal 2 (and vice versa), which, coupled with the FPL, would be sufficient. I remain slightly perplexed by up passenger working. Perhaps I’m being dim. atb Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted August 5, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 5, 2019 Got the second coat of wagon grey on the brake van yesterday. Tonight I have added the buffers, cleaned the wheels of paint and done the hand rails etc in white. Just need the decals now and glazing to complete.

RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted August 5, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 5, 2019 Thanks Andy. I need to pick up a few tail lamps from the O Gauge show at Telford next month. Cheers, Ade. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Nice job on the wagon Ade, just needs a coat of gloss varnish so the transfer will adhere then satin varnish when finished, some subtle weathering job done, NEXT ? Hahahaha 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Brinkly Posted August 6, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 6, 2019 Very nice job Ade. I can thoroughly recommend Modelu lamps. Little bit more expensive than some, but worth the extra pennies. Regards, Nick. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluemonkey presents.... Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Cracking work. Have fun with the decals , worst job in my opinion but that's OO. Any pointers are always appreciated, thanks Really enjoying your progress through this layout build. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted August 6, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 6, 2019 Thanks as ever for all the kind comments. George had pointed out the key points to successful application of decals. I have used Micro Sol and Mirco Set when doing military AFV models and found these really useful. Cheers, Ade. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemonkey presents.... Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Cheers Ade. I used microsol but its the fiddley stuff that makes me really itch, check out 'Castle's Pooley wagon. I just keep saying to myself "take as long as it takes to get it right unless you'll never be happy with the result until it is redone". Taking time in the first instance saves time in the long run. Keep up the great work. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(They offered sooner but was later than originally scheduled and was too close to our holiday. ) So were are going to have a build a cabin party the weekend Sept 7th/8th with beer and BBQ for my mates who are going to help with the construction. Cheers, Ade. Hi Ade, If I'm not mistaken your cabin looks like it is made by Dunster House. That being the case don't under estimate how long it will take to put up and paint/stain, I know as I built one last year - not as a home for a model railway I hasten to add. You should be able to get the main structure up in a weekend but there are quite a few bits of trim / detailing parts to add afterwards which will all need treating, this and then fitting them seemed to take forever. Also if you have gone for the optional insulation that adds extra time to fit. That being said they are an excellent, well designed product and once assembled are very solid. It will make an excellent workshop for a model railway and I'm sure you will be very pleased with your choice. Keith. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted August 7, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 7, 2019 Hi Keith, many thanks for the info. All good to know. I hope to get the basic structure up in first weekend. I have gone for the extra floor and ceiling insulation option. Cheers, Ade. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
