Hold that thought...... 1 hour ago, Captain Kernow said: An ex-LNER loco, sold out of service to a worthy light railway or other impecunious independent concern, I trust? Er.........no.......... This will be an ex-Great Eastern something, somewhere.......... But...there will be a revision to the name.....{ due regard given to CK } Lambton Ponce D'Arcy......named after the local land owning family and estate through which the line passes..... I did say the name would be longer than the layout. ................and so as to avoid any doubt as to how this situation came about, it is entirely down to Wiggers and Mullie, coal merchants to the Ponce D'Arcy estate who are located in the the small goods yard at the station. I thank ewe.... Rob. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgman Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Rob, if I may, having watched a rather splendid video of a small French based layout on WT one thing struck me, basically the addition of the sound ( both background and loco ). Have you considered this for any of your exquisite layouts ? I think with the sound at an acceptable level it would suit your style very much. I know you'd have to consider DCC for the loco's but maybe a muted ambient background sound might work for the rest ? Just thinking out loud.....as usual !

From the look of it there are quite a few LNER modellers there. https://youtu.be/u-OXc_ltf_M What a pointless, senseless, and useless activity dancing is, and how I hate it and everything connected with it.

G I have thought about some background noise G. Birdies and such like......The layouts are all set up for DC only so I 'm not sure if I could go DCC......... Now if I were to be building a new layout.......... Going back to the French layout, here's the link to what I think is one of the finest layouts you will see....the attention to detail is second to none. http://www.westernthunder.co.uk/index.php?threads/cessy-en-bois-une-petite-gare-de-triage.6974/ It has certainly provided me with much inspiration.

You could just connect up a dcc controller instead and switch all sections on oh and locos chipped too Fitting sound into little engines is more fun but with sugar cube speakers they can be hidden in cabs and bunkers too so plenty of options.

RMweb Gold Popular Post NHY 581 Posted April 12, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) Evening all. A day of progress. One of those where you don't realise what you've done until you step back. The loading dock is pretty much done, construction wise. I can now start on the finishing off. First job is to add a bit of contrast to the buildings so a week of painting and weathering will unfold. The buildings are all loose. Once they are complete then the final bits of ballasting can be done and the track touched up here and there and the buildings finally seated. At least one of the Peckett's will be weathered. Tonight saw the backscene added and for the first time the lighting fascia shared with Bleat Wharf was added and switched on. This is how Sheep Dip appears when illuminated as if exhibited. Rob.
