bescotbeast Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 Well the latest Pendeford Yard today is here, it's was meant to be ready for January but due to the fact I was filming in the evenings, I had to fit the time round my shifts, which has led to this late arrival. Anyway sit back and enjoy, Pendeford Yard Today "After Dark" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaSGIoLCtMk 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bescotbeast Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 (edited) Well after some critical comments from my Network Rail friend, the Pendeford S&T gang have wired up their first signal. It's a crucial signal as it protects the junction outside the PSB ,so it need doing after 4 years IMG_3252 by Simon Barnes, on Flickr IMG_3251 by Simon Barnes, on Flickr Edited February 13, 2018 by bescotbeast 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulcan product fan Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 how many more mate ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bescotbeast Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 (edited) how many more mate ? sadly the other signals on the layout got damaged by cats leaning/sleeping on them and are now only dummies or are completely missing. Seeing how good this one looks and how clever I felt after wiring it up, I'll be looking at reviewing the signals on the layout and maybe renewing them. I've made a video of the signal in action by the way. Edited February 12, 2018 by bescotbeast 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He works full time, so he may be behind on his orders, bear with him as his sounds are great. I'll see if I can raise this with him for you, 3 weeks is longer than you would expect.

I quite like the old DPU units and I've got two of them now so have too like them . The weathering is from Railmatch rattle cans (underframe dirt and roof dirt) with some dry brushed Humbrol light tan to pick out the detail. As for the signals, I'm a traditionalist and I've got them working of rotary switches the only problem is I'm running out of room on my panel and I'm going to have to have a rethink 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
