alan Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 Yes pwr, idea's are going round in the back of the grey matter. My thoughts are leading to Wisbech East Station, this being where the tramway joins the rest of the network and also where the trams were stabled.

pwr Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Alan Superb choice. I love the way the tramway leaves the main line at the crossing and wonders down the side of the road. Would you have the space to have all this and the station? Look forward to hearing more about this Paul R Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 The above photo shows how I think the plan might work, Some of the tramway sidings have been discarded, but I hope it will give a taste of what it was like. The end nearest is where the lines go into the goods yard, and at the far end you can see the tramway line starting to vear to the right and to go over the Elm road crossing. The boards are 4ft x 2ft and there are two of them. It is hoped that this and Outwell Village can be run as one layout if exhibition managers so wish. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LNERGE Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) I thought i'd take a look at what information i had on Wisbech. I wasn't expecting to see anything to do with the tramway in the interlocking but there is. Edited April 9, 2012 by LNERGE 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LNERGE Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 A rather odd interaction with 11 signal and Elm Road gates. I need to be less wet and cold to study it properly. The joys of working on the railway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwr Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Really superb.I love the picture down the street - so atmospheric Paul R Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Hudson Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I just wanted to add myself to the list of fans of both the prototype and this rendition of it. This is really excellent. It would be great to see Wisbech station and its dual level platform to accommodate the W&U stock. Andrew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewartingram Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Now its looks the part with that backscene - where is the Rev Teddy Boston though? Stewart 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) Another development in the upgrade to Outwell. Two new fiddle yards one at each end of the layout have been constructed, this will enable the second operator to turn trains ready for the next turn of duty without having to handle the stock. Both fiddle yards can be operated from their own controller or the main controller. As can be seen they have a turntable arragement Edited August 5, 2012 by alan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Neil Posted August 6, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 6, 2012 Fiddle yards look less labour intensive than the Mk1s Alan; are you going to fit something to the edge to minimise the risk of toys hitting the floor? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disappointing not to be able see them as this is a great layout and I also have fiddle yards to build so it would be good to see how you've done it.

alan Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 They certainly are Jonathan, took me two attempts before I was happy with it then had to fill parts where it still didn't match up. Martin, Outwell will be at the East Anglian show in March, DEMU maybe in July and Midland Railex in August. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 some photo's of the upgrades to Outwell Village, Waterfowl taking up residence in the sunken house boat. Two new additions to the loco fleet. The layout in exhibition mode. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
norseman Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) Very nice presentation of a superb little layout. I got very inspired by the way you have continued the street into the backscene. You have achieved a wonderful effect here, which I have tried in vain to do on my own layout. Is there any chance you can upload some bigger pics, as I would love to have a closer look at how the buildings and backscene go together.
