sb67 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 The Layout's looking fantastic Andy, I like the half station and the two overgrown sidings in the foreground, perfect for parking and displaying items of stock. The track plan has a nice flow to it as well, I look forward to seeing some more pics and videos, always enjoy watching them. Steve. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Steve, Thanks very much mate, originaly there wasn't going to be any Station or Yard but I felt it would have been a little to boring to look at and operate. Loads more to come very soon.

Andrew P Posted July 17, 2019 Author Share Posted July 17, 2019 Today I fitted the Fencing around the Signal Box, and the end Backscene, also the New Signal that arrived today. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold MarshLane Posted July 17, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 17, 2019 The videos are great Andy ... glad to see you've got things resolved in the respect. Just one query - this isn't a criticism, just a query and observation. Given that your currently running this mid-late 1980s ... would the high-security fencing have been round the box? Wouldn't it have been more wooden fencing back then? Or is it that you intend to move to modern day stock and are just using what you've got for the time being? Looks really good either way!

Rich Thanks Rich, Yes / No but not sure, I will be running into late 80's Railfreight etc and I like the Security Fencing, and had a bit left over from the Yard, and will stop little scroats creeping in across the field and causing damage. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will it not also stop the signalman getting to work, or is there a gate that I haven't spotted?!!! Looking fantastic Andy, like others have said the station really looks effective. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, Mike, If your talking about the 47, well it was mine as a 47, then I sold it to my mate, and he re numbered it, then I bought it back, so now needs a New Body or re numbering again. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a foot crossing from the platform to a gate in the Yard, and then a Gate in the corner in the Yard to the Signal Box. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noooo, sell it to someone who appreciates the finer, correct things in life. The government should list it as a national treasure! Mike. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 5BarVT Posted July 18, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 18, 2019 I’ve got a better treasure. Mine’s in the right colour too!!! My tastes seem to be moving from my latter teenage years to early teenage, before (BR) TOPS. Paul. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 Today was a day for doing the electrics on the Scenic boards so it was up ended, again the beauty of having the Layout on a Frame and portable. And now the completed wiring. The inter board connection. The gismo for the Traintronics TT 110 Signal with the Feather. An old Hornby controller powers the Points and Signals. And the S & T Engineer is glad today is over, haha. 15 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allegheny1600 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Oops! I have a feeling that someone has nasty little round burn marks! Hope you won't do that again, buddy. The layout is looking great though. Cheers, John. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
