RMweb Premium ColinK Posted February 28, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 28, 2020 Such a nice layout so well modelled. I’m trying hard to resist making a copy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdseyecircus Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 Well it's been a little while since I updated. I have just set up the layout to run a couple of new additions. I am getting a nice collection of little locos to run on this! Latest arrivals are a Dapol Sentinel and a Minerva Peckett. Whilst both run well they do seem to drop in the frog on the peco set track points so I will have to may be put some thin plasticard in to lift the wheels up a little. Looking ahead I may add a factory gate at the end between the two sidings and cobble over the yard, adding possibly a small yard crane. It's only a small space so I cannot do too much with it.

sleepyrider Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I'm teetering on the brink of O gauge at the moment, this great little layout is one of the reasons! I take it all your loco collection (noting the comment about the Simplex and Peckett) all run well on the setrack points? I fancy an 05 and perhaps an 08. Additionally have you had any problems with buffer locking when propelling? Being able to use 3 link couplings is another thing that draws me to 7mm scale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a bit of a clunk with the peckett and sentinel on the frog. I placed some plastic and it seems to improve it. Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdseyecircus Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share Posted February 2, 2021 Great video Jim. Your Manning Wardle runs great. Really impressed! Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepyrider Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Super modelling and a really informative video, thanks! I do like the manual coupling and point levers, seems very in keeping with the size of the models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdseyecircus Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 Well, the layout is at the caravan in Scarborough! First time I have operated it since the last post. ( I do have a larger loft layout to tinker with). Both the Peckett and the 05 ran fine along with a new purchase of a conflat and container. Some pictures of my play session below!

RMweb Premium ColinK Posted September 1, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 1, 2021 Super layput. Every time I see a photo of it I think, ‘I must build something similar to run my 0 gauge stock on., 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleepyrider Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Such an inspiring little layout. And clearly full of operating potential. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdseyecircus Posted August 31, 2022 Author Share Posted August 31, 2022 So the layout is back at the caravan. Latest addition is a Minerva class 14. It's a lovely model and I managed to put the headcodes in - all half numerals showing as per many of the pictures of the real thing. Though I am not pleased with my positioning of the individual numbers of the loco so will get railtec to sort out the correct digits on one transfer. A few pics below of a running session/play Paul 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porfuera Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Hi Paul, It is always great to see more photos of Stoneferry Engineering - I have always enjoyed your layout on RMweb and seeing what can be done with O Gauge in such a small space. It is one of my favourites and is very inspirational. I hope you are enjoying your Class 14 - I don't have one but as you say they are a lovely model and from what others have said they're excellent runners. All the best, Neil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
