Andrew P Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 Done a little more to the Switch Panel this afternoon, I've recessed the Switches so they cant get damaged in Transit. This will form the end of the Quay. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianusa Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 That's one pretty hefty switch panel. Brian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 That's one pretty hefty switch panel. Brian. I agree Brian, but once its got the Quay and Pub on top and then painted Black it will blend in and won't be as noticeable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 Any update Andy? Hi Brian, Yes and No, Yesterday I had a running session and found a couple of Magnets that needed moving, and I also need to work out the siding behind the Platform as I want a Dairy back there now instead of a Brewery and so I need to plan the Building and Canopy. There will be more updates soon, I promise, (as the Politician said to the Voter). :laugh: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bynackmor Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Did you manage to find any capstans for the dock side at Sutton? Dairy sounds a good idea Can we expect a 6 wheel milk tanker being pulled by a green class 22 ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dairy sounds a good idea Can we expect a 6 wheel milk tanker being pulled by a green class 22 ? No Capstans, Bollards, Fishing Boats, or even the odd Cod Piece at Sutton mate, but there's Derby in a couple of weeks so no rush. Re the Milk Tanks, yes a Green 22, or Prairie or Pannier. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) Well I've accepted two provisional bookings for Porth Merryn for 2017, it sounds a long way off now but it has to be ready for its first showing in December this year at our Clubs Open Weekend. A little more work on planning and cutting formers for the Fish Warehouse and the Dairy today, nothing worth photographing unless you like bits of Wood and Sawdust. Hopefully more progress tomorrow, because as you will see on Pencarne, I've been busy today doing a Weathering Job.

Andrew P Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 Today will be split between little jobs on here and Pencarne, I hope to get the main body of the Dairy done and also the Cobbles on the Quayside done. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Donw Posted April 29, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 29, 2016 If you go to Derby one of our club members Darren will be there with Kilve well worth a look. I am sure you will have Porth Merryn up to scratch for the shows as long as you don't start any more layouts! Don Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Thanks Don, I'm helping run Ashborne Midland on one of the Days all being well so I'll look out for it, I was reading the article in the current Railway Modeller on it whilst on Holiday, it looks superb. As for more Layouts, well I do have two plans drawn up, and another that I'm working on, the plan is to do a small one a Year for our Club if I can, in addition to working on Pencarne and North Road. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus 37 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Hi Andy Layouts coming on in leaps and bounds. Like you I couldn't find any capstans to fit to the dock side on KoLW. But then I found something that's quite similar that can be adapted and that's readily available. Here's a picture with at least 3 in view. They are notice board pins filed and painted. Cheers Marcus 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 With the Goods Yard almost completed on Pencarne today, I hope to do a little more on here tomorrow. I'm still working out how to do the Dairy and also another Warehouse next to it. I also need to do some more running to ensure all the Magnets and Stock is uncoupling as it should.

Mulgabill Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Andy Can I ask what plans you have for the warehouse? Since you've started this layout, I've always imagined it as Porthleven, near Helston, where my grandparents lived in their retirement. I have always thought it would have made an ideal extention of the Helston branch, and has what I think could be an ideal prototype inspiration for your warehouse. I haven't worked out how to post photos here, but googling images for Porthleven should show you what I'm on about. I'd be very interested to know your thoughts. All the best TONY Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best TONY Thanks Tony, I've looked at the images for Porthleven, and although I cant see a definite Warehouse I do have things in my mind as I showed in the image on the previous page. Thanks for your interest in Porth Merryn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
