Andrew P Posted December 2, 2016 Author Share Posted December 2, 2016 I've fitted the Speaker from Jinty into the Blue 08, and its added another wonderful dimension to the Sound Range of Paul's superb Protodrive Chip. The sound is definitely deeper and it almost made the Baseboards shake, a real rumble in the Jungle, I will try and do a Video up at George's tomorrow. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted December 2, 2016 Author Share Posted December 2, 2016 Just had a look and I may be able to use another Point to feed the Departure Siding rather than bringing it directly off the Fiddle Yard, I will re look at both options when I actually start to nail things down. I think this option looks a lot neater for a Goods Yard, but the Jury's still out. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to move it over and squeeze another in from the F/Y, but the Yard does need a departure siding I would have though, it'll be interesting to see what others think, but then you know me, if a see a bit of bare timber then it NEEDS covering with Track, (Pencarne was the exception to MY rule), hahha.

RMweb Gold MarshLane Posted December 2, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 2, 2016 I've also tidied up the Work Bench. Track Plan 2 002.JPG Track Plan 2 003.JPG Your making me VERY envious now Andy! Oh for the space of a workshop like that! Very nice ... does it stay that tidy for long? Like the plans for the layout, quite spacious and not cluttered. Rich Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the plans for the layout, quite spacious and not cluttered. Rich Andy, that workbench is disgustingly tidy.............. It should be full of kit bits, tools, Humbrol paint tinlets, and just about anything else that you're likely to find on a railway modeller's workbench. Glad you like the speakers, it will be nice to see what the 25 sounds like with Paul's sound in it. Jinty 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the plans for the layout, quite spacious and not cluttered. Rich NO is the answer, I'm normally a put it down where there's a flat surface, OR where it's unlikely to fall on the floor sort of person, the tidy bench is a rarity.

Jinty I cant afford such stuff mate, I wish I had room for all the Tools you have in your Den, with things like Vertical Drills and Grinders etc. Mind you I wouldn't know what to do with them anyway. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted December 2, 2016 Author Share Posted December 2, 2016 Does he even model Hat,coat,gone Brian Good evening Brian, I've said many times, I'm NOT a modeller, I build and BODGE Model Railway Layouts that give me a lot of pleasure, and also to others it seems too, but I can't make Buildings or build Brass Kits so NO, I'm definitely NOT A MODELLER mate. Having said that I intend to do all the Buildings on Beale St as I need to learn some new skills, and the only way to learn is to practice, they may not be perfect, accurate or authentic, but they will be mine. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do yourself a great disservice there mate, you are brilliant at creating a believable scene, with great detail and fantastic scenery, and your weathering skills are superb. Really looking forward to you having a go at your own buildings on Beale St though, I'm sure they will be great. Al. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted December 2, 2016 Author Share Posted December 2, 2016 Cheers Guys, It's getting embarrassing now, I won't be able to show my face in Public at the Manchester Show tomorrow without fear of being mobbed for my Autograph, and don't even mention the queues outside Weatherspoons in the morning. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Ray H Posted December 2, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 2, 2016 O.K. A serious question; The departure siding, should it stay or should it go? It'll never make a good song lyric! Whether it stays or whether it goes, its your layout and you'll make an excellent job of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 O.K. A serious question; The departure siding, should it stay or should it go? IMHO, if you are assembling or dissembling a train you need a siding to do it in. If you have room for both then so much the better but I expect a dual use siding would suffice. Regards, Brian.
