RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted March 2, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 2, 2010 Some seriously vintage motors there - is your avatar a 1600E? You've certainly got the blend of vehicles into landscape working well - they don't look "plonked". More please, especially of the buildings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
frame69 Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 Hi Ian,thanks for the comments.The cortina is my 1600 super which I fitted E wheels on after I sprayed it. Just got my enthusiasm back for modelling. Frame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

frame69 Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 Good morning. This layout has now gone to make room for a better one. Im still building the boards at the moment but some track has been temporarily layed to see what plans I come up with. Thanks for looking Frame.

Kenton Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Im still building the boards at the moment but some track has been temporarily layed to see what plans I come up with. Speaking for myself, I usually survey the space, come up with a track plan, then build the baseboard, then lay the track Are you going to be able to reach that corner?

I've tried hopelessly to work out a trackplan but got bored waiting for the right one. I have one in my head which Im working on as I go. Every part of the layout can be reached at the moment but Im keeping an eye on this. It all comes apart too (seven pieces) Cheers,Frame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

artizen Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Does the lower track on the left which goes under the station run around and connect to the upper level? I think a track plan is in order here? With lotsa scenery, this will look good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted March 28, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 28, 2011 I've tried hopelessly to work out a trackplan but got bored waiting for the right one. I have one in my head which Im working on as I go. Every part of the layout can be reached at the moment but Im keeping an eye on this. It all comes apart too (seven pieces) You need an overall idea of the track-plan to be able to build baseboards in the right place, of course, but once they're up, I have always found laying out P&C to see what fits is essential. Is that loop long enough? Does the curve look too much like a bend? Will losing that crossover stop you serving those sidings the way you wanted? Can the sidings hold enough wagons/coaches inside clear? While I recognise that there are clever and affordable PC applications that should enable you to make those decisions, there's nothing like seeing track in situ for convincing you one way or the other and then allowing you to play with the layout 'til you've optimised it. If you're into handbuilt-in-situ track, then printing out templates presumably enables the same exercise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
frame69 Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 Thanks for looking chaps. Still no plan and as Ian said about seeing trackwork in place gives you a much better idea than drawings in my opinion...that could change though. Down to the train room tonight for some more chopping,glueing and cursing. Rock on...Frame. Oh,a short,badly made video of a bit of running to see where supports have to go... ...by the way,Julio Englesiass?..s was on the radio and not a disc for those that pick it up.

RMweb Premium Kris Posted March 30, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 30, 2011 How steep is the gradient that the DMU was sat on? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
frame69 Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 Hi Kris. It drops just under two inches over sixteen feet but may be less when its final. Also the trackbed is currently unsupported so the weight of the DMU made it sag at least by 10 mm. Roughly about 1 in 90. Frame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
frame69 Posted June 10, 2011 Author Share Posted June 10, 2011 Hi. I took two boards into the garden the other day as I have more room there. I got a few sections of the lower line layed,this will disappear into a tunnel with the other line crossing over the top of it. Oh,I also made a start on a shed for my O gauge garden line.... Both lanes have a pit and the left side will have some sort of loading platform. Have a great weekend.....Frame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
