Eastgate Folk Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 Progress is being made, honest gov! It's not easy to see progress every week, but @ the beginning of the summer, there was a baseboard, track & temporary electrics. We need a running session soon to test the new electric's & check the baseboard join for running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastgate Folk Posted November 6, 2019 Author Share Posted November 6, 2019 Hopefully this week we'll make more progress on the scenic's. We did however make progress on commissioning the new station control panel. This is the 1 built into the backscene. We're all looking forward to our next running session, hopefully soon.

Eastgate Folk Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 We're making progress, continuing @ this rate we'll have a running session on the 22nd. The Cbus unit controlling the double slip seems to have its memory corrupted. Nothing out electrics team can't fix! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastgate Folk Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) The Cbus unit on the 2nd board has now been reprogrammed. The interlock between the yard ground frame and the panel box is now operating correctly. The yard ground frame operator will require training on route setting through the double slip!

Eastgate Folk Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 We have a slight problem of building control! We have consulted about the shopping centre design, nobody objected, but when building commenced all hell broke loose. Still that's the planning process.

Eastgate Folk Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 We're having problems with the planning process for the new shopping centre. We've already started pouring foam concrete, card, so we'll need a speedy conclusion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastgate Folk Posted March 12, 2020 Author Share Posted March 12, 2020 Finally the Eastgate scene is about to become 3D! The shell of the shopping Centre and Transport Interchange is in place in Concrete, foamboard and its exact final form needs to be decided. A mockup of the platform buildings will be made, to assertain the proportions of the various buildings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastgate Folk Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 This seems a very stange Friday, no model railway club meeting. I've been working on the redesign of the station platform building. The dimensions on the drawing are in mm and the model is to be built in 4mm scale.

Eastgate Folk Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 I'm trying to keep positive, despite all of what's happening. I'm still working on the design of the platform buildings including building a foambaord mock up. I'm intending to colour it using acrylic paints.
