rob D2 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Very good ! Only thing missing I can think of is a telephone to call the signaller from the ground signal to alert him that he wants to go Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick G Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 Very good !Only thing missing I can think of is a telephone to call the signaller from the ground signal to alert him that he wants to go I am working on it! The location this is based on has a walkway which is about the length of the loco with a phone on a post. I have the phone but not made the walkway yet. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost of IKB Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Really excellent stuff going on here. Incredibly simple, yet inspirational! If anything could be critiqued, maybe it's a little too clean. Personally a few more weeds and some oil stains on the track would be even better.

Personally a few more weeds and some oil stains on the track would be even better. Thank you very much. The reason its so clean is it represents newly laid track and ballast just like the real location that provided the inspiration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Digital Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 DRS 37605 departs The Sidings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8CiMsgNdq8 37 sounds excellent. Just shows what excellent advances have been made with sound decoders especially on a small layout like "The Sidings". John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgie!! Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Fantastic video of the class 66 there, Nick. I always enjoy updates and photos of your layout and you have a great selection of locos too. I'm looking forward to future updates. Cheers, George. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRDBLUE17 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Very nice Nick. The cable runs under the track look very effective in that video too. I just added Bifs sounds to a second DRS 57 at Perth show and they are loud running as a pair. All the best Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be at Showcase with it next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crisis Rail Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Next thing was to experiment on the backscene by cutting out some industrial units from a ID Backscene and testing for positioning before fixing them in place. Panelboard not MDF and doublesided tape work well for the id backscenes in most circumstances but I find the Premium range on panelboard is resistant to more or less anything damp etc - tricky to apply as it is a "one shot" affair anything over 4ft can be expensive after a few failed attempts.

This is the way forward now for me courtesy of a sign writer friend. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ess1uk Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 The idea eventually is to remove all lineside phones, in fact as the ultimate plan is in cab signalling there would be no signal posts and thus no SPT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
