TEAMYAKIMA Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 TDMRC is back off its summer hols (clubrooms closed for refurbishment) and the BIG news is that this Friday (Sept 11th) the ADDISON ROAD group is holding a 7mm DIESEL & ELECTRIC themed running session. The club in general is looking to attract more D&E modellers (that's MODERN IMAGE in old money! ) and so the Addison Road group thought they would play their part by holding a D&E evening. So if YOU have any 32mm gauge D&E stock please come along this Friday and give it a run. Details of how to get to our clubrooms can be found here www.tdmrc.org.uk . 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEAMYAKIMA Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 Our Addison Road D&E running night was a great success as these photos testify to ... Class 47's are taking over!

TEAMYAKIMA Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) Progress with the footbridge which helps hide the entry to the fiddle yard.... Edited September 29, 2015 by TEAMYAKIMA 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEAMYAKIMA Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 We haven't posted for a while - apologies - but that doesn't mean that the group has been idle - far from it! Firstly, the footbridge gained a roof (photo taken at the 'work in progress' stage!) Then work began on building the station canopies that need to be modified to accept the footbridge.. Then cut to suit .... Lastly, the various bits went to the paint shop ..... Whilst all this was happening, progress was being made on the LNWR platform railings front .... And after a few hours work .... this appeared ...... 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEAMYAKIMA Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) Here's the latest news from the Addison Road team .............. The lights are on ..................... And Friday night was a special night for Terrier fans .............. Four of the latest Dapol ones plus a veteran kitbuilt version made by team leader Peter Warren - that's the one hiding in the background Edited October 27, 2015 by TEAMYAKIMA 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEAMYAKIMA Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 (edited) ..... one thing that seems to have escaped the attention to detail is the negative conductor rail in the pointwork (more so that the positive), parts of which would not only have had the collector shoes of a real train in short order. Otherwise, it's very nice and will be interesting to see as it gets nearer completion. Jim Some time ago Jim Snowdon pointed out an issue with the design of the conductor rail and we've now had an opportunity to look at that and have another go at it ... This is how it looks now (albeit not quite finished) .... Here is an example of how we did it originally ....

jim.snowdon Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Much, much better, and I will assume the unfinished bit to be the detailing on the positive rail. Happy to have helped, Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to have helped, Jim Hello Jim Not 100% sure as I am not directly involved with any of the modelling on AR ( I don't even model 7mm myself - in fact don't even model British!! ) - I am just the scribe but I know that there was a little more to do when that photo was taken. But thanks for you input on this - hope to see you in person when the layout is shown at its first fully public show next year - at Reading. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEAMYAKIMA Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 Late October/early November saw us surfacing the platforms ..... first the Up ..... Then the Down................. And Mike was working on the canopies where they meet the footbridge .... first on the Up ...... Then the Down ...... 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEAMYAKIMA Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 Last week saw another Saturday work day and the lure of home made soup and rolls attracted a large turn out ..... and a good turn out (usually) means good progress! Firstly the footbridge has been worked on .... all it needs now is glazing! And a nice little scene could be made around the steps ...... John, our member who lives in Chicago ( not so much a 'Country' member' as 'Another Country' member! ) arrived with this little beauty ..... Whilst Mike arrived with a mystery loco ..... And we made more progress with the 4th rail upgrades around the pointwork .... Work also started on the layout's lighting/facia ..... we are working with another (private) club layout on this and using many/most of their components ... another benefit of being part of a club! 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim.snowdon Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 The conductor rails are coming along nicely - a little more work to do on the positive side ramps, but that looks to be in hand. Well done. Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEAMYAKIMA Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) It's been a while ..... what's new at Addison Road? Firstly we are planning the lighting facia - always the sign that a layout is nearing completion! We hope to use a lighting canopy already in use on a private club layout - a 'FN3' gauge layout called 'OR&P' - and in case you're wondering what 'FN3' is, it's posh 'G' gauge! Here is a test fitting of an 'OR&P' lighting support bracket. Meanwhile a lot of work has been done (by Grant) on the operating schedule ... here is the schedule written up and colour coded for the signalman .. Other news centres on new stock seen at running sessions .. Mike's new Oerlikon .... still needing glazing! Mike's Metropolitan # 46 And something for the diesel fans .....

TEAMYAKIMA Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) Ok .......... it's 2016! And that means our first ever exhibition - READING on May 7th !! The group are burning the midnight oil getting the layout (and stock) ready for the show ...... One major improvement is the addition of our specially etched LNWR 'unclimbable' fencing .... The cost of this etching was donated by friends of the late Ewen Crossweller as a memorial to his work on Addison Road meanwhile some extra details are being added ...... downpipes on the station buildings ... in this photo the unpainted downpipes are in place, but they need flanges fitting and then painting black Edited January 20, 2016 by TEAMYAKIMA 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEAMYAKIMA Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 The pace of progress quickens - the READING SHOW beckons! Our signal engineer (Pat) has been at it again - and this is the most iconic of Addison Road signals - the Down Starter. Yes, it all works .... or will do when the servos are fitted. And yes that's Pat himself!........ Fully detailed ...... Meanwhile others are installing the hoardings..... New etchings have arrived for the Russell Road houses which form the backdrop to the layout.... The first one is assembled and ready to be fitted ............ 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEAMYAKIMA Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) Last Saturday's work day saw our member who lives in the USA making a welcome visit and we got him painting the down platform Keith and Grant adjusted some conductor rails..... And Pat added some super details in the signalling department .... Some yard fencing appeared .. and some bay platform lamps ....

Les Johnson Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 OK .... the modelling pace is quickening! Our official 'launch' at our Open Day (July 25th) is fast approaching! Work has concentrated on the main station building area .. fitting the new gas lamps that hang under the canopies.. Hi guys, if you have already mentioned it elsewhere, please forgive me, but whose lamps are these? Les Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jol Wilkinson Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 They look very much like the 4mm taper post oil lamps from DCCconcepts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEAMYAKIMA Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 Yes, they are DCC Concepts.... I can track down the catalogue number for you. From memory they come with an optional extension which makes them taller which is what we've done to make them suitable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEAMYAKIMA Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 Ok, have tracked them down They are actually 4mm lamps with an optional extension to make them taller. The ref # is DML-LMSO. I will track down some detailed photos and post them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derbys65 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Wow!, the quality of work on this layout just blows me away!, shall I just throw in the towel now lol ... Well done all involved Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEAMYAKIMA Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 I think this is what you're asking about............ Unfortunately, it is a one-off scratchbuilt prototype made by one of our team (Graham Barker) - it's still under evaluation, but isn't commercially available.
