south_tyne Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Well, the plan was to take a photo of the whole layout set up in the hall at Goathland, but I forgot, well you'll all just have to come along this weekend and see it for yourselves. Excellent - hope the show goes well. I am hoping to get down for a nosey at the layout on Sunday! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grosmont Jnc Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 It was great to finally see Low Baring in the flesh at Goathland show today, congratulations to Paul on such a lovely layout. The Goathland show is a cracking exhibition - thanks to all at Whitby MRC (including Boris and various others of this parish!). I think everybody was wilting in the heat a bit today - we certainly had to repair to the hostelry at Beck Hole afterwards to cool down! Joe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post Worsdell forever Posted July 22, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted July 22, 2018 Well, exhibition over and the layout behaved it's self very well, the second camera doesn't cover the two magnets I wanted it to so I'll have to put another on up there. All three locos ran very well. I've adjusted the deceleration sound on the J24 so it coasts quieter after Mike (49395) said he thought it didn't sound quite right. 36 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
49395 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 The cameras are a really good idea and I think you've sold us on a similar setup for our next layout, it makes operating from the front a lot less intrusive so long as things are behaving themselves. Things ran almost faultlessly when I had a turn operating (apart from operator error, I had plenty of that....) The sound is personal preference of course (I'm not sure what a J24 should really sound like) but I did reckon the coasting sounds shouldn't be quite as loud as the loco under load. My initial doubts were based on hearing the coasting sounds from a distance and mistakenly thinking that to be the main 'chuffing' noise Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted August 13, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 13, 2018 The Depots will be at the Pickering show this weekend so I've been on with a few jobs to improve both the operation and look of the layout. I've added a board around the back of the fiddleyard and a curious little bracket. Under board 3 I've fitted a shelf for the cctv box. Oh, that curious little bracket... 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted August 14, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 14, 2018 I looked at coming up for the show. Best part of 7 hours to drive there, or almost £2k to fly, via Dublin & Amsterdam. Hope it's a good show, very much doubt I'll actually make it.

Iain Popplewell Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 (edited) Paul. Just been perusing the events section of the Sept. edition of the Railway Modeller and was pleased to see that The Depots is to appear at my local Shipley show. Then my heart skipped a beat and I stared in disbelief. Surely not! can this be? and I quote," The Depots, Rosedale East (00)." Have you finally seen the light and adopted the finer modelling tolerances ie narrower track of the true permanent way. Or are you consulting with your solicitor with a view to sue.

Edwardian Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I hope one day to be able to see this layout in the flesh. This year's RailEx NE featured no pre-Grouping and very little Grouping and the organisers seemed unaware of any potential pre-Grouping layouts they could invite. I have seen several pre-Grouping layouts with a NE subject in recent years (Marske 7mm, Seahouses (7mm) - though under new ownership it may have gone 'modern', sadly, and Danby (4mm)). I would be surprised if there were not more. I doubt I shall manage to get far enough south to see it at Shipley, but I hope the show goes well, and all credit to the organisers for their discerning choice. Still, I hope see the layout at some stage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a great idea Shame Pickering Town FC are away this weekend as it could have combined my two favourite things, well throwing in some beer too...... although the fiddle yard telly could offer a live feed from the match at AFC Mansfield!
