backofanenvelope Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Very nice Bob, excuse my ignorance but is this a new layout? and will there be an appearance of the Tmf? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhBBob Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 Very nice Bob, excuse my ignorance but is this a new layout? and will there be an appearance of the Tmf? Yes, Tom, this is the latest layout which is designed to fit into what remains of the garage space - a long narrow corridor with a workbench at each end. When the fiddle-yard arrives from Model Railway Solutions, the layout will be some 22 feet long by 2 feet wide. The Tmf 4/4 (Alpin Line) will be present although the other Tm, a 2/2 will hopefully appear soon. Sadly I have abandoned the 3-D printed versions and gone for the brass Signalmeister model from Austria. All being well, the first exhibition will be Biggleswade in February 2016.

Satan's Goldfish Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Good stuff. I bought my G stock orignally for the garden but i find myself more and more tempted to make a transportable layout from it.........this doesn't help Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted July 11, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 11, 2014 this doesn't help Neither will seeing this again then as it was G http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/13821-klein-arosa-rhb-in-g/?hl=%2Bklein+%2Barosa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted July 11, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 11, 2014 . Sadly I have abandoned the 3-D printed versions I really need to get going on that again, mine is stripped and primered and I've rubbed it down to a nice finish now. Just haven't had the spur to do Om as I've been waiting on the Bemo track coming out! I'm aiming for a couple of Ge4/4's and the original Tm they are doing as the basic roster. Picked up the restaurant coach a few weeks ago. Got bookings into 2016 now for the G scale so no rush on building an Om one. Wonder if we could go modular and join them up Bob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if we could go modular and join them up Bob I wonder what track profile Bemo will use ? The original looked even higher than my code 124/125; I can manage the smidgen between 22.5 and 22.2 gauge ! The standing joke from my fellow operator is that we always need a van to carry the rolling stock....and a small trailer for the layout Then there is the question of Quality - I never realised that it could be separated from the word 'Street' Feb 2016 is my invite to Biggleswade, NHS, Her Indoors and my follow operator permitting. Sounds a long time away but time flies when you're having fun Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhBBob Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 A couple of pictures showing the new board and some awful catenary !! Total layout now 26 feet long with six-road fiddleyard traversers. Back in the old routine, hopefully !

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted January 7, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 7, 2017 Ah the temptation Nothing awful about it! if you paint the catenary with a paint marker it hides the shiny solder Bob, I used a greenish grey to simulate weathered copper and it made a huge difference to blending it in.

RhBBob Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 Thanks, Paul ! Happily, still a work-in-progress; original catenary was painted with Faller texture grey paint....something like this. http://www.modellbahnshop-lippe.com/produkt/FALLER/39-7-0-7857-004002-0-0-0-0-0-0-grp-gb-p-0/ein_produkt.html Ouch, was that a mistake ! Went on superbly, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhBBob Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 Any show dates? No, sorry, it's a home layout these days ! A holiday with the NHS back in 2012 brought out the extra health needs and prompted She-whom-I-love to hint that I should give up the exhibiting after some 28 years.
