RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted October 4, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) This is how the modules could, but probably never will, fit into the main layout. They are more likely to join it if it gets a permanent home setup one day Edited December 17, 2022 by PaulRhB 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted October 7, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) I’ve been adding bushes and other more subtle vegetation plus started the Stoberhai Bahnhof. It’s based on the front half of the building using bits left over from the kits used to make the main layout stations. I’ve used kit windows so they aren’t exact but capture the general shape and flavour of the real thing. As both have been modified with different windows and lean to’s since the 60’s they’ve changed quite a bit in reality too.

Calnefoxile Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Blimey @PaulRhB you're fairly rattling on with that. I'm still at Track laying stage on Rennsteig, mind you I did have to order more track from Modelbahnshoppe Elriwa, whcih arrived within 3 days, not bad from Germany. Cheers Neal.

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted October 17, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 17, 2020 No they’re very good but that’ll stop soon as they’ll disappear in customs for a week or more! I have two mallets on order from them and they look like they’ll be incurring vat too! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted October 22, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) I ran into a minor problem due to my decision to side mount the point motors. As the wire moves the side mounting turns the movement into an arc that is higher one end than the other, (vertically mounted it is highest in the middle). I thought I had enough clearance in the highest position but the 0-6-0’s chassis hit the wire protruding, if I cut it down any more it drops out of the point tiebar at the lowest point of the throw! So I came up with this, a 1mm tube with a brass wire soldered in the end by about 2mm. I chopped off the motor wire so it cleared the tiebar and the inset wire at it’s highest point. Now the operating wire can slide up and down in the tube. The tube is secured to the tiebar simply by bending over the end of the inset wire.

Calnefoxile Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Looks fabulous Paul, can't wait to see it in the flesh sometime soon, maybe........ Where did you get your trees from?? As I think I'm going to need lots for Rennsteig, although it's TT I reckon HO ones will look right as trees are various heights anyway.

The bottle brush ones are from Busch 20cm and Gaugemaster 5-15cm (which I think are rebadged Noch products) On the main layout I also had Busch G scale ‘bottle brush’ trees off my RhB layout of 30-35cm, (they were £5 back then but around £11-12 now), and then there are the ones with the long trunks from Heki and Busch. These are the codes from my build file. I used modelscene sk250 trees on the modules, 10 cost £50, but they add a bit of height and are bulked out by the cheaper multipack trees.
