5050 Posted December 14, 2023 Author Share Posted December 14, 2023 Some tarting up being done prior to DEFine. Photos taken a week or so back and more work has been done since. Come to DEFine and find out what! 11 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
5050 Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 Last minute jobs almost finished (mainly a dead track length now sorted and some minor scenic details). Stock has had wheels cleaned and track will get a going over on Friday. Checked that it will fit (minus FY) across the car back seat to give it a cushioned ride to the venue. Still not operated it with a 'purpose' so Saturday will be a (steep?) learning curve for me and my mate. Just hope it doesn't go all pear shaped on me! See you there! 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poor Old Bruce Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Saw the layout at DEFine yesterday. Fantastic little layout. Granted not 100% running quality (teething troubles) but best layout there as far as I was concerned. Well done @5050 👍👍 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
5050 Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 (edited) Thank you very much Bruce. For the first 15-20 minutes of the show I was ready to take it outside and set fire to it 🤬 ! However, things gradually improved and by the end it was working a lot more acceptably. I still can't understand why my 2 'primary' locos were stalling (even though wheels were cleaned, pickups tweaked etc.) and the 2 'reserve' locos worked almost faultlessly - even the Ruston 48DS which hardly faltered at all. The layout will be in hibernation for a short while so I can get on with a few unfinished projects that have been bugging me for some time. Currently, the next outing will be Expo Summer/North here in Wakefield in August and then possibly Scaleforum end of September in High Wycombe. BTW, which 'layout viewer' were you? Did we talk?
