Broadoak Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Is this an O scale project Dave? Looking at the couplings it must be, I like it very much. Kind regards Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Andrew D Posted October 5, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 5, 2022 VERY inspirational! I'd love O gauge but I don't have the r.... oh, maybe I have! 😆 The traverser thingy looks interesting, with the window catch wotsit. Does that line up the tracks perfectly? Please tell us more about this and the baseboard when you can - and bear in mind that some of us are not very bright (especially when it comes to the technical stuff) so do write slowly and draw pictures where necessary ;) Cheers, Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bungus the Fogeyman Posted October 12, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2022 Andrew Not a lot in the baseboard construction. 2x1 softwood timber frame with 6mm ply on top. Basically, a bit of string and a pencil to get the radius of the sector plate, cut the curved edge, then attach the sector plate with a screw at the pivot point. Lay the track onto the sector plate ,then attach the casement and its 'stop' (or whatever the stubby bit is called!). You can then line up each track to its respective 'stop' and stick it down. To be honest, its harder to describe than actually do! Hopefully the picture will help....... On another note Templegates 2022 tour continues in St Neots this Saturday, at the Phoenix centre. My star operator the glamourous Cathy and the equally glamourous Ellie (the border collie) will be putting in an appearance in the afternoon, along with my mum!!

hoover50008 Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Love this layout, great work and very atmospheric for it’s size. I’m guessing the size is about 4’x2’ overall? E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a ruddy brilliant idea. Using the window casement to operate the sector plate. Ian 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bungus the Fogeyman Posted January 4, 2023 Author Share Posted January 4, 2023 For those of a strong constitution, or those with nothing better to do, Templegate will be appearing along with myself and Clive at the DeFine do at Risley (note, I didn't put Ripley this time Clive) between Nottingham and Derby on Saturday (details in the Exhibition section). We may even run something, but don't hold your breath!! Disgusting of Market Harborough 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungus the Fogeyman Posted January 8, 2023 Author Share Posted January 8, 2023 Well, a splendid day at Risley yesterday, even though Clive rolled in later than planned! Young Brendan stepped in for a while and aquitted himself well........Sadly no pics of Brendan in action although this rolled in, courtesy of the lads on Cowley Yard. Sadly, we couldn't shunt with it cos it was as long as the sector plate, but it looks nice!! Next stop, Southampton at the end of the month..

Bungus the Fogeyman Posted February 24, 2023 Author Share Posted February 24, 2023 They've not rumbled us yet, so we shall be turning heads and demonstrating window fittings north of the border, at the SCCCCCCC in Glasgow to be precise, for the next 3 days. We're the good looking ones next to Steve Farmer (Sf315 of this parish) and his cake-Icing display! Feel free to come along and poke fun at the operatives.
