Right then,

 

Now the dust is settling a little from the 'Black Country Blues' whirlwind and the garden is starting to come round after a few days effort, thoughts are now turning to the long list of jobs i'm now planning on the layout.

 

Jobs;

 

Track

Install new cross-over at the righthand back of the layout - to reduce the amount of tracks from three to two exiting the board. and to make room for a full depth signal box

Ease the radius on two loop points and corresponding reverse curve - a constant source of de-railments

Full gauge and railhead condition checks

Fiddle yards

Two new fiddle yards, with points and both the same length - currently the left hand one is one 3 feet long (the other is 7!)

Buildings/ civils

Build St Blazey signal box

Complete girder bridge on Par lines

Mount all removeable buildings. (so as not to forget them at a show - i'm over it)

Fit doors to wagon works building and internal concrete floor

Install concrete apron on the track ends around the turntable

Build yellow out building and concrete huts

Signals

Install bracket signal on the Up Par

Install signal on the Down Par

Install signal on the Par docks line

Presentation

Upgrade fascia in line with current BCB standard

Photo Backscene?

Re-build light units to eliminate 'shadow' at very front of the layout

Transportation

A second transit box for board three and legs and bits

Fiddle yards tranist face to face

All fascias travel in 'coffin' which can be flipped over to form a platform to stand on at the back of the layout

Electrics

Give consideration to Geoffs seperate DCC sections with boosters

Fault find the small dead section on the back road

wire Par lines

Locomotives

finish large logo 37/4

finish intercity-mainline 37/4

Start 37207 in Departmental grey

finish 37035 in 'Dutch'

start 50046 'Ajax' black roof - phoooowww

complete 3rd 08

Get 56013 running

Don't get the 'Duff' running -  thinking about adding a 'won't start' sound track to it

Stock

Create UK fertilizer rake

expand 'silver bullet' rake

finish large Cargowagons

Standardise on wagon weights

 

So now i have a list - and i know where to find it.

 

Now wheres the layout, ah yes hibernating

What shows is the Duchy going to this year?

Only one, unless we get any last minute requests

 

We held off this year because of commitments with 'Black Country Blues'

 

Oh, yes its Midland Railex at the Midland Railway centre in August

 

That's why i've suddenly made a list of jobs - there's nothing like a deadline
