Pufferman Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I have been build a TMD for a couple of years with a friend, it hasnt really been done very quick, due to my friends job, (building the overground railway from croydon) he spends alot of time working. We built the base boards about 3 years ago, last year we laid the track and this yeah we have started to wire the track for DCC, one board has all its point motors fitted and one side of all the track wired, just the other side to do on that board and the points. The total length of the layout is 13ft by 3ft, rather large for a TMD I know, but we also have sidings to stable coaching stock for specials, and a Network Rail depot at the front. here is the blogg the layout http://quarrylanetmd.blogspot.com/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pufferman Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 I dont know if this has many hits but since last posted the layout has had an invite to its first show and work is very much under way to get it finished for September. All the electrics have been finished and scenics have been well under way. Will post pictures if people are interested? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pufferman Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 I will take some pictures of the layout as it stands tomorrow. Have just installed walking routes and I would say 50% of the track is ballasted. I have fitted 6 out of 8 under track kadee magnets 2 left to fit, but need to move one board for this. The shed area has had the apron polly filled and the Network rail yard has been polly filled between the tracks for the fork lift. Pictures tomorrow will make more sence, but pleased that people are interested. Might be able to get some ideas too. Nick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pufferman Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 These pictures show the Apron of the shed, with a class 14 and 08 outside. Also a general picture of the layout. The other is the porta cabin come signal box and shunters office. The two boxs are for the wire that are running under the track. As per full size.

Crisis Rail Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Garages - cold and damp places - you have my sympathy. Good plan and like the walkways from the relay boxes - are the dummy point motors the correct way round? as I was informed once on here that mine weren't Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pufferman Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Its not in the Garage now. One of the people that is building the layout with me is in S&T and he said that they can go what ever way. Pleased you like it all, thank you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pufferman Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 Yes there has been a bit more progress, the quarry face has been started, all GPLS are now wired up but not yet tested and programmed, fence about the Network Rail yard has been started.

Pufferman Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 A couple of pictures showing the progress, my other half as been working on the Cliff face, and I have been putting in the fence around the Network Rail yard, I am going to spray the mesh that comes with the Ratio fence black with hopefully a wash of rust, not sure if you will be able to see it. Hope you like the progress so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pufferman Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 Lots of progress has been going on over the last few weeks, the hill has been progressing at a great rate, but the carving is taking its time. Then fence around the yard is coming together but has stopped for a while to let the fueling point be finished which is coming along well, a couple of pictures of the progress. The inset of the track is being installed and then will be ballasted around, more work for the Bank Holiday weekend, not long now, and we are moving house between now and the deadline Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
