Lovely photographs Chris As ever, it is great to see more of Bakewell Street, it is one of my favourite layouts on RM Web and always provides so much inspiration, so thanks for sharing.

RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted April 12, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 12, 2019 It currently looks like we'll be running Blue Diesel LMR on Saturday morning - with a bit of 1960s steam possibly later and WR (mainly) diesels on Sunday. But what plan survives contact with the day of the show? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Dent Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 (edited) This is a fabulous layout with superb detail and a great inspiration to all. Do you have any more pictures Chris? If you have one - a pic of the whole length of the layout from either (better yet, both) end/s.

37114 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Hi Chris, just gone through the thread again as this is one of the layouts that helped make up my mind to move to 7mm,quick question is the bridge over the canal scratchbuilt or a commercial product? The girders look great and I need to build a similar bridge. Thanks Rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Dent Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Thanks for those Chris Are there any pics of the traverser at all? Also, if I could ask, what point motors & control do you use. Looking at DCC Concepts Cobalt Digital or Tortoise at the moment. Kind regards Art Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted November 2, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 2, 2019 Art I simply use cassettes made with aluminium strip on the right hand fiddle yard. I did have a simple sector plate at the left hand side to act as a run-round but that board has now been dropped as we mainly use BS as a 3-3-5 shunting puzzle at shows. I've covered the gap under the bridge with a mirror tile which is surprisingly effective I started with SEEPs but had frog switching reliability issues and have now gone with Cobalts using traditional AC and toggle switches on the fascia. The push buttons are for electro magnets for the S&W couplings although mainly we use fixed double magnets on sleepers in each siding. Now we've gone for the Inglenook approach I could probably drop a coupling on one end of each wagon which would make things a lot simpler although two hooks does help prevent involuntary uncoupling!

In other news the layout appears in the July 2020 Railway Modeller and has now been set up semi-permanently in my shed so it can used without a fiddle yard with small shunters as I don't expect it to be playing away in the near future. I've not used all the details and buildings or the layouts lighting but playing trains is still great fun. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
