Andrew P Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 Just finished Editing the next Video, No 9, ready for the morning, and started filming for No 10 this afternoon. Videoing of the Build is a lot of fun, and I hope it shows sometimes. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is anyone out there who has not visited Chris's Warren Branch, then I suggest you do so, NOW. funny you should say ‘eye’ for detail because my left eye is almost swollen shut and because my doctors surgery are reluctant to answer the bl**dy phone I’ve only been able to see properly through my right eye 1 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Fifteen miles of wire) Hahaha Yeah, and I ain't finished yet, just looking at all the wires needed for the Signals. AND YES I KNOW, I could have them DCC off the hand set, and just 2 wires to the Track, but where's the FUN in that? 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted September 3, 2021 Author Share Posted September 3, 2021 This morning I've laid the two Tracks across the Door Board and popped a couple of wires on to do a Test. I've had two Trains circulating at a nice sedate pace with no issues. So the next job before coffee was to add a couple of hinges to see if I can make it a flap as opposed to a lift out section, and the simple answer is YES I CAN. So now I just need to make a base for the Harbour and that will be the final part of the jigsaw in place. As you can see from the last pic, even when raised, and with the Harbour about 3 inches below the Track Level I will have plenty of room to walk in and out of the door. 11 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gismorail Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Cracking video Andy and very informative for all. Good to see an experience modeller taking to time and effort to pass on his skills to others. It is important that us older ones hand down our knowledge to the younger members although they probably have new and more ‘fandangle’ ways of achieving these things. I wander when wireless point motors will make an appearance ……..now that would take all the fun away 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted September 3, 2021 Author Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) Before Lunch, I made up the locator for the Flap. Basically a lump of timber with two diagonal cuts, and the centre section fitted to the flap to ensure it is always in the correct position when down. I've also cut the Harbour base to size, and I'll put that all together on Monday. Edited September 3, 2021 by Andrew P 11 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted September 3, 2021 Author Share Posted September 3, 2021 That's it from me for the weekend. I'm off to a BBQ tomorrow at a friends with two or three Layouts running in the Shed, Conservatory and Lounge, and maybe more. I'm looking forward to that and getting some pics and ideas. I think there's about 8 of us from on here going to be in attendance. Should be a good day out. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, I am looking forward to it, it will be like a mini Exhibition, without the back packs and prams to get hit with and fall over. I'm taking a couple of Locos to run, something I couldn't do very often, (in fact I never did) in 7mm. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
