Beresford Junction Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Hi Ian Good to meet up tonight, and having just seen this 'in the flesh' as it were, I can confirm to all on here that it's looking good. I've just checked and the LED lights I bought were: "5M 3528 / 5050 SMD 300 LED Strip Lighting DC 12V DIY Party Clubs Deco Car Lights" and cost me £10.99 including the power adapter.

RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted March 26, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) Evening all, Monday night saw the completion of the woodworking (apart from a lighting rig which can wait for now) and I am hoping for a dry day later this week to get the wood lightly sanded and painted to seal it all. The two scenic boards bolted together back to back ready for transit or storage. Traverser closed up. All packed and ready to go shown as they will fit into the car.

Very neat work - one suggestion if I may. What about cutting a couple of holes in the end plates to act as carrying handles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted April 1, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 1, 2014 Having arrived home early tonight and with the weather dry, I took the opportunity to get a light sanding done followed by a start on the painting. About half way through so far with a primer undercoat and will hopefully finish tomorrow night. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted April 7, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) Hi all Just a small update on the slow progress that I didn't get posted last night. All the baseboards and traverser had a coat of primer/undercoat during last week and also the viewing bits given a coat of slate grey to smarten them up a bit and lastly on Sunday the backscenes were given a sky blue paint as a start. Scenic boards painted and up with the plan laid out. the front edges will be painted once the front scene boards are attached and shaped to suit. With the plan laid out I had a measure up of track requirements and today ordered all the flexi needed which should be here before my day off on Friday, and as I already have all the points track laying is not far away!

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted April 7, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 7, 2014 Hi Ian Well done, I also use wall paper backing when drawing out a new layout. You can check all siding lengths and all the clearances with real stock and know that it will fit in a given space. I also have fun with a push along opperating session but don't tell anyone else because they might think I am playing trains and not a serious railway modeller. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimleygrid Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Nice work Ian, you must be excited about the prospect of track going down imminently. Oh and being able to see some trains on your base boards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted April 9, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) Track arrived today as expected from Merseyside and spent this evening around the football sticking down the underlay so might get the first track down tomorrow night but if not Friday when I'm off work.

pitbull1845 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 If I wasn't on a run of 6 lates I would have popped up to assist with the track laying. Hope its all going to plan. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted April 11, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 11, 2014 Sorry chaps nowt down yet other things got in the way this morning and I'm off to 'Leaford' now for a bit, maybe later! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted April 12, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 12, 2014 Morning all Just a quickie before I head off to be disappointed by football again! A start was made last night on the track laying but too much time was wasted trying to get rails to solder to brass screws so not too much progress. However, with 'Britains got talent?' back on the TV from tonight I see good progress ahead so watch this space and I'll get a pic or two once I've got a bit more done. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
