Radioinactive Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Hi all, this is my first posting on here in a while. With this partial lockdown, I have decided to build a layout. Analogue operation but future proofing it for DCC. It's spread over 2 baseboards 45cm by 110cm. Set in the 1980s of British rail, it features a disused bay platform, run round loop, nuclear flasks trains to service the nearby nuclear power station, engineers siding, and regular passenger trains through DMUs 108, 121, but loco substitutions can occur at any time. Trackwork is made up of Pecos latest bullhead offering, combined with dapols motorised signals. Any thoughts or feedback is welcome! I will post updates as and when I can, but I am still working, albeit from home. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pH Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 8 hours ago, luke the train spotter said: Coming along nicely. Really like the name loch doon for it! You do know that 'loch' is not pronounced 'lock'? When I first saw the title of the topic, I thought it would have something to do with this WW1 boondoggle, which did involve railways both as part of the scheme itself and for access: http://www.secretscotland.org.uk/index.php/Secrets/LochDoonAerialGunnerySchool Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radioinactive Posted April 9, 2020 Author Share Posted April 9, 2020 Hey pH, no I had no idea, I thought it sounded like lock down in a Scottish accent, but thanks for the correction. Apologies, but it's not based on that area. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radioinactive Posted April 9, 2020 Author Share Posted April 9, 2020 I did however almost finish Ratios overhead crane kit. I have to admit this being my first plastic kit, I'm quite happy with it but there is room for improvement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andytrains Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) I will post updates as and when I can, but I am still working, albeit from home. As long as you leave your computer connected you can spend as much time on the layout as you want! Edited April 30, 2020 by andytrains Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
