NINJA Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 To keep me occupied through winter Thought I would make a diesel servicing point on a eight foot by 18" plank, so far have bought the wood for the base which will be in two four foot sections. Have up to date nearly finished the main focal point, the shed. Building should a plank would allow me to run quite a few diesels of different eras when I choose rather than be limited to a narrow time frame. Next job finish the office block. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clagsniffer Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Really like the look of that shed. Is it scratch built or kit? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NINJA Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 Clagsniffer, The shed is scratch built. Just to be different from the Bachmann ones. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one very well constructed shed at first I thought it was Heljan O. All the right bits. Where did you source the roof vents? Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NINJA Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 The roof vents are Rix American products, borrowed them from my HO layout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NINJA Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share Posted May 4, 2019 Bit of progress made, the first 4*2 baseboard track laid, a second 4*2 baseboard to start which extends beyond the shed. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NINJA Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 Now running locos had a couple of glitches, one of my own making, from previous experience of having to rely on the touching blades on peco points I fitted auto frogs to all points, I then was picking up intermittent faults, even changed one of the auto frogs. Turned out I was using an older Hornby 56 to test the system, the older 56 with the traction tyres on one side was defeating the autofrog. Put a new style 56 on no problem. That was solved. The other problem was the failure of an over centre spring on a peco point, it is one of the latest points, has anyone easily changed the spring on these, it seems rather fiddly to do? 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Kevin Johnson Posted October 1, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 1, 2019 This is a great layout, especially when I love diesel locomotives. The weathering, modelling and attention to details is great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D6775 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I do like the look of this, nice simple track plan and very much reminiscent of Immingham TMD with all the 56 in my mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob D2 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Looks good, where did you get the oil grid thingys beteeen the Rail’s on the fuel point please ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NINJA Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 They are from Scale Model Scenery, some excellent bits and pieces there for finishing off the layout with some nice detailing. If you look on this photo I have posted you can see there fencing, barriers and backscenes. I was impressed how well thought out it has been with taking advantage if 3 d printing for small items. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
