RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted April 9, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 9, 2016 Couple of videos from NG South today. Still a lot of detailing to do and a few running issues to sort out but it ran better as the day went on so I think part of it was the grot from weathering on the insides of the railheads. I've decided to letter up the diesel push pull set for the Wurmberg resort so a bit of graphic design to try out on that, I'll leave the livery intact just add some new lettering. And a longer one 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted April 9, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 9, 2016 (edited) Thanks Ian, it definitely made me want to build the first forest section so there's somewhere to really stretch their legs.

RMweb Premium Ian Morgan Posted April 9, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 9, 2016 Well I saw it in the flesh today and have to say it is very impressive, especially considering the short time it took to build. My layouts take me years. I have some Tillig HOm equipment I was collecting which has been in a box in a loft for nearly 10 years. I really must find it and build a layout for it now that you have inspired me. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet!Don't worry the rest won't happen in the next four months, part two is pencilled in for one years time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted May 1, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 1, 2016 Hello Paul, just found this: https://suedharzeisenbahn.blogspot.de/ Kind regards Soeren Looks very interesting. Do you know what scale this is, it seems larger than 1:87. I notice that he has photos of British layouts on his computer screen, including one (I think) of Stoke Summit?

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted May 1, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 1, 2016 Paul, look better, it says 1:22.5 on the image of the header I think you mean CK Yes Tim it's G although he looks to be scratchbuilding everything rather than cheating and just importing HSB modern stock like I did in G and now HOm. I like the mix on the modern Harz and I'm pushing it a bit further with container traffic too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted May 23, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 23, 2016 Paul, have you used Tillig track on the layout, please? Most of the track products on their website seem to 'ready ballasted', although there are some ordinary points etc. towards the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold D9020 Nimbus Posted May 23, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 23, 2016 Isn't the ballasted TT track actually made by Kato (or whoever makes their track...)? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted May 23, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 23, 2016 I have used Tillig TT scale track and its lasted for 10 years on our exhibition layout. However the plastic check rails do have a habit of sliding out of the chairs if not stuck in place with superglue especially when cleaning track. I have lost one or two but a length of rail cut to shape will slide in the chairs. The biggest weakness is the tie bar which is very flimsy but this is easily replaced with copper clad paxalon sleeper strip. Despite these issues I would readily use Tillig TT sclae track again.. However I have not used any of other gauge track of theirs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the track products on their website seem to 'ready ballasted', although there are some ordinary points etc. towards the end. It's all Peco on mine simply because I find the Tillig points very delicate and they need the tie bars replacing with copperclad drilled for pins for pivots for long term reliability. I use the ready ballasted stuff as a test track and as a temporary fiddle yard as the main project is still growing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted May 23, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 23, 2016 So Peco make track of the correct gauge, then? Is this 12mm? I see from the Tillig website that a pre-production sample of the 2-10-2Ts has been posted up, with a RRP of 419 Euros! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you there's always the G scale one for £1200+ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As there would appear to be a great love for the Harz here on RM, I hope you do not mind my hijacking your thread with a few pics of my Garden Railway. The first two show my weathered LGB 2-10-2. The next two show the Train Line Mallets passing at my Magdesprung Station. Sady did not manage to see your super line at the recent Shows, but no doubt I will run into you and the layout at a Show sometime soon.
