Andrew P Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 More baseboards? The shed extension and another layout revamp fast approaching. Looks like the Docks Branch will be a Shed Layout on it's own, Move over Beale St, hahhah. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the docks could be in front of Beale Street and the fiddle yard could go underneath the O gauge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus 37 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Seeing the photo's above that's going to look superb. Nice to see where the buildings will sit in with the scenery. They look far better than being sat in a box in my loft. It's going to be a nice little rural cameo scene in front of the sprawling industrial area at the back. I really like it a lot.

Andrew P Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 Just a couple of Hours in the Old Potting Shed today, but I thought I'd show what I've done with the Midland Fiddle Yard. First the Plan. Then I've used a Fleishmann curved left Point for the Exit to save having to change the Point direction. Fleishmann Points are very lightly sprung loaded to either Route. So the Route is set to the Exit, and incoming Trains just flick the blade across as they arrive from the other Route. Both Midland and Western Fiddle Yards will have 5 Roads each and hopefully 3 for the Docks Branch. Still more Points to be added. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Marcus Hi Marcus, Once there are a couple of Barges on the Canal some Water Plants, Swans ect. it should brighten up that end of the Layout and give a different perspective, and laid back look to the area compared to the Busy Station area.

andyram Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I will take a look next time I am in. I still have not ruled out using one at the start of the loop on Skaleby Quay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 A few pics of the testing this afternoon. An un-identified Class 47 on the Midland Service from Birmingham New St waits at the Signal (O.K. it's not there yet so use your imagination), as Class 50, takes the Western Region Route with the Portsmouth Harbour Service. And passing over the Canal Section with the Docks Branch in the foreground. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Griffin Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 will the section behind the bridge be scenic? if so, a banner repeater signal would be needed for the signal the 47 is held at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 I've been playing around with an image of how I imagine the Docks Branch will exit the area and the back Wall and Grass embankments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 will the section behind the bridge be scenic? if so, a banner repeater signal would be needed for the signal the 47 is held at. Your right and yes it will be Scenic, the Repeater will go about were the rear coach is I recon, but I haven't got to that stage yet, and probably wont for another year or so, but thanks for the reminder Dan.

emt_911 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Hi Andy. The new alignment seems to give the track a better flow. Something that it didn't quite achieve before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
