JBM37404 Posted September 5, 2022 Author Share Posted September 5, 2022 Some ballasting work done. Was going to use Woodlands Iron ore fine. Its too red though and research has shown its not really that shade. Have gone instead for legacy Brown Blend. Photos attached. This is another step where trains can't run so wanting it done!! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBM37404 Posted November 2, 2022 Author Share Posted November 2, 2022 37113 starts emerging from a 37068 body, Bees Hill models have worked on a new front end based on a split box with doors, hinges and a high intensity headlight. As I posted a while back in the Farish thread this type of 37 front end is not produced by farish with the cut away bufferbeam. As far as I know these front ends may be available soon on a well known auction site. Cheers John 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBM37404 Posted December 18, 2022 Author Share Posted December 18, 2022 (edited) Disused Station at Aberkeld Jcn is done. John Edited December 18, 2022 by JBM37404 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBM37404 Posted January 2, 2023 Author Share Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) Some overall layout shots, not award winning but give an idea of what's been done so far and what's left to do. The unfinished board near the cabinet will have a rising Road going over a concrete bridge and a smaller road off that going over a double span stone bridge to the Castle. Planning a river feature on the other side of the castle and the disused line to Aberkeld flanks the other side of the Castle mound. The road behind the Grain loader also needs finishing as does the scenics on that part of the board. I also need some lighting in buildings and to do a lighting bus wire underneath the boards. Happy New Year to all. John Edited January 2, 2023 by JBM37404 Odd spacing 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBM37404 Posted March 21, 2023 Author Share Posted March 21, 2023 (edited) Some work been going on behind the scenes, mate of mine Anthony who is great with electrics has rigged up a raspberry pi computer to run a route setting programme on a touch screen so I can set routes that involve multiple point changes by touching a screen. This can also be done by phone on an app also or a mouse plugged into the computer. This interface will also eventually have block detection and control signalling which is planned. Also some shots of the yard with a set of cargowaggons and the polybulks in at the same time.       Edited March 21, 2023 by JBM37404 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
