cheesysmith Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I must admit that most RTR models don't get me that excited. Much prefer chopping and cutting stuff up. But the accurascle 37 has me thinking how to convince the family for Xmas. But the GC A5. That will be added to the collection. I admit this as a moment of weakness to ask forgiveness of all the fellow modellers/bodges on here. 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesysmith Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Good news, I have actually done some modelling today. Bad news, I don't know why, as they are totally out of area or era for me. I blame Clive. What have I done? Just decided to build both of the early lightweight single car DMUs. Got the single car DC kit off eBay, and built the other from a DC kits lightweight 2 car. Might be photos later, but they are drying under some heavy book now. 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Dave, I've built* one of those so don't just blame Clive or I'll feel left out !!! *I say built, it is in the "Nearly Started" category along with loads of other stuff.

cheesysmith Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I only blame Clive because it is easier than admitting my addiction to chopping things up. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheesysmith Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Here are my two bubbles, after quick rub and primed. With the centre car in the middle. Question? Remember rule1, do I do them in blue as for the other models I have or green? 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question? Remember rule1, do I do them in blue as for the other models I have or green? Why not almost the best of both worlds? One green, the other blue and red as Test Car Iris? As possible inspiration, here's my green one slowly getting there! Edited August 19, 2021 by Wagonmaster 7 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted August 22, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 22, 2021 Last night after a few crossed wires and points wired up to work with the wrong points I finally got my trap points working. Pictures to follow shortly. One of the disadvantages of living in the middle of nowhere is power cuts when the weather turns nasty. We have just had a 12 hour one, 12 hours no coffee, 12 hours no computer. 1 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you interlocked the trap points to the other turnouts? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they operate with the respective loco yard entry point. The diesel stabling point trap. To answer Mapp Goldfish's question. Set to allow a loco to enter or exit the stabling point. Click of the point motors and the mainline is set for a train to run past the stabling point and the trap is there to stop any runaways going any where. See I caught one escaping. The set up at the ex GNR loco yard. Edited April 12, 2022 by Clive Mortimore 12 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satan's Goldfish Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Nice work good sir!...... would I be in trouble for asking how the interlocking works over that single slip if using the crossing line rather than the curved line but the route to the steam shed is also set?

Andrew P Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Looking good young Clive, but still NOT BALLASTED? It was about two years ago that we visited, so I thought it would be Ballasted and have Green Hills everywhere by now. How about the Station entrance, can I still buy Sarnies? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
