RMweb Gold 5BarVT Posted June 13, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 13, 2022 Those look brilliant. Are they all ‘built’ Lego or is some of it glued together? Paul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Matt A lot are based on photos from the internet, some I have re-liveried. They are all still assembled as I have no instructions to enable me to rebuild them Simon 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psiborg Posted July 3, 2022 Author Share Posted July 3, 2022 Main Panels Today I fitted the main panels to their respective baseboards The split is where the board join is. They were fitted so they can be tilted forwards to access the wiring etc as seen here The first wiring I have done is for the Lenz LRC120 displays which will show the DCC address of the stock which will be inside the depot. Testing was carried out with my two Buxton class 108s - DCC address 108 and 1082 Thanks for looking Simon 3 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psiborg Posted July 3, 2022 Author Share Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) Main Panels continued After brushing past the panel a couple of times I realised the plastic corners will get damaged if they aren't protected so I added a few sides Thanks Simon Edited July 3, 2022 by Psiborg to correct spelling 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psiborg Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 (edited) Club night at Buxton Instead of the usual club night at Shaun's, I asked the group if they wanted to meet at my place and have a running session on Buxton - which they did Dave, Shaun (operating below) and Paul arrived and I spent the time leaving them to operate while I watched from the viewing side. The ICI hoppers leave after entering the station to run back over the crossover I also placed the shed and fuel tanks/pump houses in position to get the feel for what it will be like when completed. The departmental coaches are not accurate to the ones that should be at Buxton but will act as placeholders until I can make/buy the appropriate ones An overview of the scenic section, it's definitely looking Buxtony - real word! 🤣 Thanks for looking Simon Edited July 26, 2022 by Psiborg forgot to thanks Dave for the pics 15 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psiborg Posted July 31, 2022 Author Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) "Double heading" Today I played around with the double heading feature of the Lenz DCC system. This enables you to run two separate locos/units on one address while keeping their individual addresses for when you split the double header up, below are a couple of examples of how I will be using this on Buxton Station & TMD...

Psiborg Posted August 14, 2022 Author Share Posted August 14, 2022 Hardstanding - Saturday This weekend I have been working on the TMD hardstanding, Fuel Point hardstanding and the footpath at the back of the TMD that will be at the base of the steep bank Here is the Fuel Point... and again after the path is added The painting will take place when it is all fitted Thanks for looking Simon 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psiborg Posted August 14, 2022 Author Share Posted August 14, 2022 (edited) Hardstanding - Sunday The shed hardstanding was worked on today to link up with the footpath Here it is with the fuel pumps in place... and a better angle with the shed Since the above pictures I have fitted the parts between the tracks up to the board join I have used two layers of mounting board to make the hardstanding - 5 small (A4-ish) sheets in total Thanks for looking Simon Edited August 14, 2022 by Psiborg improve wording 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psiborg Posted September 12, 2022 Author Share Posted September 12, 2022 Hardstanding...again! This week I have finished the mounting board and I have got around to spraying it. Fuel point... TMD area... There are still a couple of areas that need a touch of filler to tidy them up, then a heavy weathering needs to be applied Thanks for looking Simon 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinz57 Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Looking awesome mate. The shed looks massive, cant wait to see that finished! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psiborg Posted October 27, 2022 Author Share Posted October 27, 2022 New fuel point has arrived While browsing on the web for Buxton related items I came across the following on ebay... It is a 3D printed kit and every detail is on there, I had a look through the images and ordered a 3-tank kit (as at Buxton). A 2-tank kit is also available The kit components out of the box I must say the print quality is excellent and the kit really has been well designed Thanks for looking Simon 6 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psiborg Posted October 27, 2022 Author Share Posted October 27, 2022 (edited) The only items not included in the kit are the concrete slabs for the tanks. The sizes for these are given and I used a razor saw and some 6mm MDF to make them After the main structures (minus details) were built I checked positions Happy with the look I painted the tanks and access steps/walkways Cheers Simon Edited October 27, 2022 by Psiborg 10 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psiborg Posted October 27, 2022 Author Share Posted October 27, 2022 the details were painted separately... ... before adding to the model Cheers Simon 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psiborg Posted October 27, 2022 Author Share Posted October 27, 2022 Fuel point completed This is how the fuel point looks with all of the details added (the hose from pump house 2 will be added once the assembly is fixed to the layout) As a satisfied customer, I can highly recommend this kit Thanks for looking Simon 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 5BarVT Posted October 28, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 28, 2022 Looks really good. Isn’t it brilliant when someone produces a kit ‘just for you’! Paul. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
