MartynJPearson Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 So why do you use a phone then...? Because he's busy taking a call on his camera? Love the pictures, the detritus around the buffers really adds to the detail! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psiborg Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) SEE ANNESLEY WOODHOUSE AT MANSFIELD SHOW THIS WEEKEND Earlier this evening, Shaun and I went to the venue to set up Annesley Woodhouse for the exhibition. Not the start to the week we were hoping for... ...after setting up the layout, it appeared that several wires had pulled out of the connections. Points were only working on one board and signals were either not working correctly or not working at all! Not the best day to forget to take your toolbox either! Thanks to Ian for the loan of his soldering iron and to Shaun for having better eyesight than me and sorting out the wires! At least when we left the venue, everything was working as it should be ready for tomorrow Cheers Simon (edited to improve wording) Edited March 3, 2018 by Psiborg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psiborg Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 IT WORKED! - ALL DAY! We had a far better day today, Annesley Woodhouse ran faultlessly all day and all problems were down to 'operator error' (yes, including me!) Thanks to everyone that chatted to us and we will see more of you tomorrow Simon 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psiborg Posted May 7, 2018 Author Share Posted May 7, 2018 (edited) LEGS I have been fitting legs to the layout, and my other layout Jubilee Road Wagon Works, to replace the trestles I currently use. Photos to follow when the legs are complete - Going to work is getting in the way of layout progress again!

Psiborg Posted May 8, 2018 Author Share Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) Here is a quick snap I grabbed while the layout was folded up. I still need to bolt on the leg stays then I'll get a photo of the layout upright. Cheers Simon Edited May 23, 2022 by Psiborg reload photo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psiborg Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 NEWS Yesterday Andy York visited us to photograph some of our layouts for appearances in BRM. He photographed my layouts "Annesley Woodhouse" and "Jubilee Road", Shaun's "Ripley" and our group (M.R.P.G) project "Depot Lane" It was a very enjoyable day and if the sample images we have already received are anything to go by, the photos will be amazing! Thanks to Shaun for letting us turn his house into an exhibition hall for the day Cheers Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psiborg Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) Here is another photo of the legs... The legs are 34 inches tall, which gives a better viewing height! Cheers Simon Edited May 23, 2022 by Psiborg reload photo 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psiborg Posted June 30, 2018 Author Share Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) RUDDINGTON DAY 1 Ready for viewing... Everything ran spot on (apart from the odd operator mistake!) and Annesley Woodhouse seemed to be well received by the visitors. Hopefully Day 2 will be as good!

Psiborg Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 (edited) RUDDINGTON DAY 2 Everything did run smoothly, no problems with the layout again - exactly what we wanted! Annesley Woodhouse during the exhibition (photo by Shaun) Annesley Woodhouse had a lot of good feedback from the public and interest from a couple of Exhibition Managers. The younger visitors liked it because they could see what they see on the real railway near where they live and that it was their favourite layout! (I suspect only because Thomas wasn't there!) I would like to thank the other M.R.P.G members (Shaun, Paul and Mark) for coming along and helping me set up and operate AW over the weekend. I would also like to thank the organizers for inviting us to the exhibition. We all enjoyed the hospitality and friendly atmosphere at the show, Well Done!
