pitbull1845 Posted August 2, 2019 Author Share Posted August 2, 2019 Afternoon, Managed to get an hour in the garage today. I've just been potteting about on the Bocott Steel part of the layout. Nothing exciting just tidying up bits and finishing off one of the buildings. I still need to get a suitable chip for the Janus, so it's just posing for pictures at the moment. Seen here with the empties. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempfix Rich Papper Posted August 2, 2019 Tempfix Share Posted August 2, 2019 I really like this scene Scott, particularly the scale of the buildings behind and the concrete hard standing. I go in waves in terms of time available too. I've had some time with the layout recently, but sometimes I go several weeks without getting in the room.

pitbull1845 Posted August 4, 2019 Author Share Posted August 4, 2019 Afternoon, Right where do I start? Yesterday I had a few more hours, so I decided it was time for a change. The main board which had the station and part of a steel complex has been completely removed and destroyed. It was boring me and also the boards had warped slightly (my fault for using mdf) which gave a bit of hump back bridge effect. Whilst I was in the mood for destruction I also closed down Redbrook stabling point. But all is not lost, The main Bocott Steel works is still alive. I've spun it 180 degrees and put it in the place of the station board, but here's the clever bit. I've also spun what was Redbrook, 180 and attached it to the front of Bocott Steel. It's no longer a SP, it's now a couple of sidings for the works and also a through line, which will complete a loop of the garage. It's still work in progress but I'm going in the right direction. I've had to try and disguise the exit for the sidings, I'm still in the process of doing that but is an inprovement in my eyes I've attached a picture so you can try and see the changes. Once the facia board is back on I'll post some more. Thanks for looking. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitbull1845 Posted August 11, 2019 Author Share Posted August 11, 2019 Morning, Since the change around I had to come up with a new scenic break, I had several ideas but went for the predictable one of putting a building there. It's nothing special and I have no idea of its function within the works, but it hides the exit/entry, so I've achieved my target. It's not quite finished yet, it wont be long. There is also a new arrival on the ptivate shunter front. "Big Daddy" arrived last week, thanks to PaulRhB. That's it for now, next will be the debate about the FY. 9 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted August 11, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) Dunno it looks good without, does the Yeoman one have side handrails? For some reason I can’t recall seeing them. Edit: nope the FY one doesn’t have side ones. Edited August 11, 2019 by PaulRhB 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks really good Scott, how about putting the pipe into a gantry as I did with Fiddlers Yard? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitbull1845 Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 Hi Andy, Thanks and a good idea. I'll look into it soon. Got carried away with the other boards today and planning the FY and inclines.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't be anything like your plans, just trying to make use of some dead space, thinking of adding a small terminus served by dmu's. I was considering a depot, but the simple station is winning at the moment. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideal for a DMU Service. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhere for the locos on the steel trains to refuel and rest? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhere for the locos on the steel trains to refuel and rest? We're obviously on the same wavelength Ian, I had been lookingh at that concept but I won't have enough room in the ear marked area. Its only 4'x2'. Enough for a small end of line station and thats it. The depot could go the opposites side of the garage but locos would have to enter the station first to access the depot. Although operationally interesting not sure how realistic that would be? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted August 13, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 13, 2019 If it’s a result of the old steam shed entrance to serve the station then perfectly possible. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
