60maniac Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 I think it's about time I updated this... I have installed 2 2 aspect signals as starters I have fitted underlay (foam) to the outer loop the 'fast' line and has dramatically improved running the level crossing may go as its not very level etc and as it goes straight into the TMD seems a bit of a waster at the moment so that will come out I will also be installing 2 point motors for the crossover and hopefully if I have 3 point motors will have one for the entrance to the yard but I might "improve" the layout of that junction as trains are running a bit odd over it needs to be sorted then underlay that 'slow' inner line may look into having terminus platform there or something as it seems to be gathering a number of locos parked up in it. I am also hoping the TMD can be re-sited on a separate board towards the left hand side of the layout or for siding space as I think the depot at the moment can be increased in size were it is sited so will look into a re-work of the track layout there as well. More to come... Many thanks Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
