Cheers Bud, We'll have a bit of a Run, although I doubt there'll be any more Track laid by then, as I have a busy week ahead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 And he's under starters orders........and he's off!!! I've only been away for 4 days and you're already on page 4. That's a page a DAY!!! Anyway Buddy it's looking great so far. Pencarne on Steroids springs to mind. Although that shed looks, as others have said, suspiciously Buxton like. Anyway it looks as if it's going to have plenty have play value, sorry operational interest, that should keep you entertained for hours. Cheers Marcus Hi Marcus, Late to the Party as usual, and all the Beers gone I'm afraid mate. Yes the Shed area is inspired by Buxton, and I think it flows quite well, Plus just being Locos I don't have to worry about uncoupling etc at the Back of the Layout. Still loads to do in 2017 so should keep me out of mischief a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 I've not done a lot this morning TBH, as I fancied a nice bit of fresh air with the Dog, so we went up to Swad Woodlands, and a biting cold wind it was too. So this morning I un-hot glue gunned the old Depot, (that's posh talk for pulled it apart). I then used the old back of the Office Block to make a back wall for the Shed, being Plaster it was a bit of a faf to get it all to re fit, and then Hot Glue Gunned it all back together. I also cut the back lugs off the Office Block to line up with the roof, (just) and then re-Glued that back together, so now I have a half decent Shed and a Boffey for the Yard.

Karhedron Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 This looks like a great layout and I look forward to seeing it take shape. My only complaint is that you have nicked the name I was planning to use for my next N gauge layout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 Andy, How do you intend to work the points? Thanks, Dave Hi Dave, Good question, most will be Peco PL10 Motors and mounted under the Base Board, some Motors will need to be mounted away from the Point and controlled by a rod / wire. There are a couple that have to have Peco PL11 the side mounted Motors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH on Danemouth I have used DCC via my Powercab - I do like the macros for use as route setting. Cheers. Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave No, nothing complicated Dave, I've tried controlling Points and Signals from the Hand set and didn't like it. I will use the Peco Levers in the Peco frame the same as I did on Pencarne, as I feel Pulling a lever and seeing a Signal change or Point throw is very satisfying.

Mind due I'm sure it will get changed in the new year Hahhah I daren't change it, Andy Y would go mad if I said I wanted to start ANOTHER thread, anyway, a Mainline ish Terminus is something different for me so all I need to decide on next is how far I go with it, do I start the Fiddle Yard from where the Tracks currently end, or, do I make a U shape of it and put the Fiddle Yard where Beale St is at the moment and have a decent run from the Fiddle Yard to the Buffer's, choices, choices, choices. I won't make a final decision until after Christmas now as I'm out again all day tomorrow for a Full blown Christmas Meal at Lunch time with Dee and Mother, so will probably check the inside of the old eyelids when I get home. George T is coming down on New Years Eve and were going to Loughborough for the Day for some real inspiration, and I'll get some ideas from him, although he'll probably say; get rid of the OO and GO TOTALY ''O''. hahha. :nono: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used Orange 1x12 cab with a Hayden Amp and now use the micro terror I love Orange Amps and even the micro terror is amazing . You can't go wrong with em! I play a Les Paul and pod 500hdx for the effects so I use a parametric eq to dial out the fizzy spots Loving the progress on this layout the track plan is genius Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
