RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted November 12, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) Yep Harz but smaller than the current layout, well the trains are smaller though the layout might not be http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/79954-hsb-in-the-harz-mountains-in-hom/?p=1433364&do=findComment&comment=1433364 Edited November 12, 2015 by PaulRhB 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted November 12, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) Lulworth is just going out the way in its storage cabinet and can be set up in 20 mins so not far away Rhatia is half stripped, just the catenary to store and points to save as I can reuse them on the Harz. Most can be recycled on the HOm and once Bemo get their fingers out and do the Om Ge4/4 I'll probably clear out the HOm RhB.

backofanenvelope Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I was wondering as have admired Lulworth for the design and execution. Looking forward to the Om Layout.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted November 12, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 12, 2015 Would allow you to hide a small RhB layout Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
backofanenvelope Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Yes it would Paul I did dabble with the idea of Om and and even got as far as getting a FAMA Tm tracktor (I think it was) but then sense prevailed.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted November 16, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) Packed up and the bottom cabinet now fitted with swivelling castors on all four corners to make it easier to move around at home.

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted November 17, 2015 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 17, 2015 Well a date snuck in for February, Probably run a mix of BR steam and modern image. Further dates for next year still on hold due to a roster change but it can't now happen until March so able to commit to this one. Note change of venue for 2016. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted January 23, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 23, 2016 Preparation for Eurotrack saw the MPV and the second weathered 66 fitted with sound chips this morning. Now as I picked up some cheap 3.5 chips and getting the right sounds blown on a 3.5 was going to take time and money I had a look what was available on the ESU site. As a result the 66 has a HO Mehano 66 sound file and the MPV has a Desiro as it seems to sound about right and has a nice air sound that sounds like the sprayers are on! Just need to finish the 159 now. Still a list of 6 locos, steam and diesel, to upgrade to sound slowly but not for this show 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted January 24, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 24, 2016 Well the progress trundles on, 2 lowmacs fitted with NEM pockets and kadees today to serve as Steam era military low loaders until the warflats are complete. I do need to dig out the genesis kits though for the modern day versions! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted January 25, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 25, 2016 Loaded the wagons, with some old trucks going to the camp to be used for target practice Chained down but still need the chocks adding. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted February 21, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 21, 2016 A small job needed for Eurotrack this weekend, a water crane. I saw one but a tenner incl post seemed a bit much so I decided to make one from Evergreen plastic tube. I inserted a smaller piece inside the outer tube to try and keep the shape better then heated it with the hot air gun. Bend 90° then chop up. The hose will be a bit of heatshrink with a wire armature inside to hold its shape. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriscleveland Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Paul like the idea of how to bend the plastic i need to build an lswr water crane at some point looking good tho lulworth is certainly coming on nicely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the bend a little tight for a LSWR one but as it was installed in the private railway days I'm happy to leave it as is. Still need to drill the hole for the locating wire!

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted February 25, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 25, 2016 Ok layout packed and been fiddling around weathering some stuff. Tomorrow will just be checking and rechecking that I've packed everything! Still only 25 minutes away so as long as one loco works Installed the water crane too after searching for it for ages then finding it on the bookcase next to the layout. We will be running steam on Saturday and the 2000ish period onwards on Sunday. A dark shot of the water crane inside the trolley 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

backofanenvelope Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Knowing your propensity for a 'new' layout I was somewhat enigmatic about seeing it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted February 25, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 25, 2016 Well Lulworth was primarily built so I could run stuff at home rather than exhibit it which is why it's so small. The fact that packing away so visitors can use the spare room and transporting it to shows uses the same sort of storage is a happy accident. It's likely to be around for a long time but I'm not actively seeking shows for it as I have the HOm and other friends who need operators too. Eurotrack was a random invite from Ian as I'd mentioned I had another layout Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanks522 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Hi Paul, I've only just discovered your thread and what a fantastic one it is, I really like the ability to run different era's. Look forward to more. Graham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
