d winpenny Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 Cheers for your input bud I appreciate it, I definitely think it is the best way forward at present could always expand at a later date if the opportunity comes around at the moment I'm having fun with the temporary wiring so I can at least run some trains. the two sections of the yard are live but the point in front of the single road shed shorts as soon as I run a loco over it. I would like to point out at the moment there are only two track feeds on the two headshunts and no isolated joiners I'm presuming if I put isolated fishplates in and I put a feed at the shed end should cure this?

d winpenny Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 Nothing real to report as I am waiting for my final board to arrive, apart from I am now happy with how the layout need to be wired to work properly no more shorts nothing permanent at present as I will have to move everything down when the board turns up and get put inplace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d winpenny Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) Did a bit of work this morning kit bashed a knightwing portacabin and built the outbuilding. You can see some of the temporary wiring I've rigged up most of the layout is live now part from the two shed roads nearest the camera More progress by mosherlad, on Flickr David Edited May 21, 2016 by d winpenny 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus 37 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 That's looking absolutely superb now mate. So many depot layouts look so crammed in but yours looks absolutely spot on. Lovely flowing curves and long sidings. Great work mate. Can't wait to see more. Cheers Marcus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d winpenny Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 Cheers Marcus, I have had to remove the siding off the access road due to space limitations after making the tmd fit inside the loop but u have managed to fit the siding outside of the 4 road shed in instead, more pictures to follow when I've got the last of the cork laid. The it will be on to the dreaded wiring David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
