mark axlecounter Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) I have been working on the layout and adding more signals to it , I’ve confused my operators now here are some pics of the new additions. I must be mad This is now the first signal before the one near the cottages The colour light signal is now the IB signal (intermediate home signal) and the distance is the fishtail under the section signal Edited February 4, 2020 by mark axlecounter 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark axlecounter Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) And this is the distant signal what (under the section signal ) tells the driver what aspect the IB signal is showing.

mark axlecounter Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) And here are all the pics I have took but made them a bit smaller to get them in. I will be getting some more pics but it will be next week before I can put them on here, I will also get another pic of the control panel soon as there have been some extra switches added.

mark axlecounter Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 Just to keep everyone in the picture bucks lane is at our club room and because of all this Covid 19 outbreak I am unable to run any stock. Once all this is out of the way then I will be putting pics on as and when normal service resumes. Mark T 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any comments are welcome. Very nice Mark. Those etchings and castings are lovely - I used them on my original Modelzone/Bachmann BR Mk1 TPOs. For the nets I used a scrap of black dressmakers' tulle - not dead scale but not far off - fixed to the frame with spray mount adhesive before fitting to the coach. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark axlecounter Posted December 22, 2020 Author Share Posted December 22, 2020 Thanks for the comments. progress on bucks lane has stopped due to the pandemic, but I have been busy building 2 new control boxes for the fiddle yard. I am in the process of building a diode matrix to operate the 12 roads of the fiddle yard, once this is done I will put pictures on and them getting installed on the layout. mark 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ighten Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Just wondering if Bucks lane will be making it to Colne this weekend? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark axlecounter Posted November 20, 2021 Author Share Posted November 20, 2021 Bucks lane won’t be there unfortunately, the layout requires some TLC after it’s move. I was asked if I could bring it but it needs a bit of work to get it back to a standard I’m happy with I should say it will be ready by the end of December beginning of January. I should update this post more often or I might get told off 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
