RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted February 15, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 15, 2016 I am looking forward to seeing this at some point if I get south of Sheffield. No doubt the bigger layout will make trips North eventually I'll get this but done and some photos then set my next deadline by popping off the info to Warley which should give me around three years Lulworth is booked for 2018 so after that would be safe.

backofanenvelope Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Hoorrarr Now that's working to deadlines. I am assuming you might show locally as smaller setup? Anyway I am just going to enjoy 'the' journey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted February 15, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 15, 2016 Each of the three sections could be exhibited or set up and run at home. It will require my friends barn, hiring a hall or a show to put the whole lot together though as drawn on here. But I could make temporary minimal bridge boards and set up at home between two rooms 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted February 18, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 18, 2016 Couple of things done today, the control panel for the tablet I use to control the points with the Z21. I've uploaded it and added all the points and routes. It works like a simple NX panel and you find the route from the coloured dot to the same colour arrow and press the route button next to the relevant arrow Plus the 11ft backscene arrived 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted February 18, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) Well I have a branch off to the main HSB so maybe you can do that part, then find someone to do the Selketal, and we can join them up Edited February 18, 2016 by PaulRhB 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chameleon Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Update on 99 4101. As it was mentioned earlier in this thread, the HOe version of 99 6101 is now winging its way towards me at long last. It'll be interesting tohear how it sounds with the built in sound chip. Will post a video when I get a chance to run it. 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 Ok the slow development of the diagram has reached what I hope is the final version after feedback from friends. They were finding it difficult to see the smaller arrows so I've increased the dots that start a route and put large coloured bands around where the buttons go Here's the diagram And with the buttons and points overlaid on a tablet screen. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chameleon Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Had a wee plaay with 4101 on the rollers today. I am VERY impressed! It's got a loksound v4 in it and move functions than my poor wee multimaus can handle. The whistle has a really nice echo, like it's bouncing off the valley walls and the chuffs work very well, though they do get a bit cut off at higher speeds but that can't be helped. Lastly praise for Modellbahnshoppe-Lippe. It came in on Friday, they posted if on Monday and it arrived on Wednesday. Can't fault them. They even matched the reduced price it was reserved at! Anyway hijack over, back to Braunlage. (I've stayed there on holiday before, very handy for Drei Annen Honen) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted March 1, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 1, 2016 Ok with Eurotrack done time to swap round the layouts and get the whole of Braunlage up to work on it. A bit of playing first then time to do the platforms. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted March 4, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 4, 2016 Progress on the buildings so I can start to position them and then do the ground cover. Here's the platform side that the operators will see. And the entrance that will be on the public side, still windows and details to add. And the loco shed 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
backofanenvelope Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Starting to come along nicely Paul. Are you going to use etched windows? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted March 5, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 5, 2016 No the plastic ones are cleaning up ok. There's a few with ejector pin marks on the front though! Takes a lot of work with a scalpel to clean them up and as they are the roof lights it's noticeable. These are Kibri kits just repainted and lightly detailed. The concrete feet on the goods shed end supports are actually Merit lamp glasses from the bits box. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted March 8, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 8, 2016 Track weathered, old airbrush pretty much knackered but coaxed it along but I don't think I've much chance of blending in the ballast with it so time to get the new one I've been fancying for a while. Pleasant job for tomorrow will be to go and talk airbrushes with the friendly local modelshop and order one Blummin cold with the windows open to ventilate it though!

RMweb Premium Ian Morgan Posted March 9, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 9, 2016 If upgrading your airbrush, you should definitely go for a top loading, dual action one. You press down to control the air, and pull back to start the paint flowing. A little practice and you will find it so easy and precise.

Ian Morgan Hampshire Yes it will be another dual action as they are so much more versatile. I'm pretty set on an Iwata but not decided which one yet.

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted March 9, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 9, 2016 Check the platform lengths required by playing trains Make up a couple of gauges so the clearances are ok Carving out the ramps for passengers and wheelchair access. Basic platforms in. The wood strip is 4mm tall and clamps the platform edging in place, there's also a card spacer between the platform edge pieces so the wood doesn't go too far down and bow. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allegheny1600 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Hi Paul, This is starting to shape up nicely! I shouldn't be looking in really, it's all so tempting. Keep up the good work, John. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
