David Bell Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 My word Andy, I dip out of RMWeb for a week or two and come back to find it is all change at Bute Road. Looking good though and I really like that 1930's style station building. Cheers David 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted January 12, 2022 Author Share Posted January 12, 2022 21 hours ago, Brian D said: Interesting developments Andy. Personally, I would retain the sidings (in A) as somewhere to store stock as I assume your fiddle yard has a certain limit on capacity. Otherwise you would be forever taking stock off or putting it back on the layout. Just my thoughts for what they're worth. Regards, Brian. Hi Brian, As always, your thoughts are very valid. I do need some Siding Space, but also IF I can include a Unit Depot then that also will help to relieve the Fiddle Yard of Stock, so looking at all possibilities and angles at the moment. Cheers. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did think about N before embarking on this project, but decided that fat fingers and shaky hands at times was not a good combination to delicate little N Gauge Models. I am still looking forward to coming up to see your Layout later in the Spring. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers David H David, Good to have you back, and yes, that Art Deco Building is good, and as it came with the 416 set, it would have been a shame not to use it. Watch out for more developments again soon. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Andrew P Posted January 12, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2022 After a day off yesterday, I've finally re laid the curves and tested to ensure we have a nice flow. I've also put some Jumper Leads onto the Station board to test that, so next it just needs wiring up. 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I dropped down to N gauge the biggest adjustment wasn't so much how fiddly parts are, but in thinking in the new scale. I ended up with no more track than I'd have done in OO gauge; less perhaps. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The LAST N Gauge project I did was Glenfinick, which I did strait after St Budoc in O Gauge. 24 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmsforever Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Very enjoyable viidio Andy like the developments with the new station ,the views of other layouts were very interesting. They show just what a varied hobby we are involved in from your scottish n gauge to the surburban oo gauge layouts. Your efforts with the paint brush have inspired me to have a go at painting a backscene I shall be looking at various views to pick out some ideas.Thanks for the vids and inspiration Chris 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Bell Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Hi Andy, enjoyed your video this morning. You are right to say the older layouts are a good source of inspiration. I suspect you may not be the only one rejigging their layout! Cheers David 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gismorail Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Enjoyed the latest video Andy did wonder why you’d been a bit quite now we know the old cogs have been turning again ……..rust alert !!!! I think the moving of the station is a cracking idea and I like the concept of only modelling one end of the station it gives you so much more room for storage etc . Keep up the good work me old mucker 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Great video Buddy, the station looks far better on the straight, l hate stations on curves, as the never look right to me with the length of the coaches, always big gaps with plenty of room for passengers to fall down ?... 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers David Thanks David, Looking back can be good, but also dangerous as I get far to many ideas of trying to roll every good bit from all my Layouts onto one Layout, and then pinch some other peoples ideas as well. haha. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep up the good work me old mucker Thanks Martin, and if you check out next Sundays G-Tap Shorts you will see a half Station idea in O Gauge that you may remember. I have been quiet, not only because the Station area didn't gel with me in the end, but also coming on here here and trying to KILL the Adds with my rampant wayward Mouse. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
