TownsendHook Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I think I'll definitely wander up to Woking this weekend to see it. So you know, Nick and Si, transit shaped revenge for your Network Rail van will be exacted on my current layout project.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pufferman Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 See you then. Layout about to be loaded, hope it fits Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pufferman Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 Woking has been and gone, the layout went very well for its first outing out. Once we fitted it into the van, you would think a layout would fit into a transit but oh no, it didnt, so that is on the cards to sort with a few other bits. Have put a few pictures in this thread to show you how we got on. We also got two invites. Busy view over NR yard and depot EWS 67 brings in the managers saloon Windoff in the yard after a day out clearing and a few Sheds on Shed Hope you like what you see. If you came along to Woking and saw the layout would love to hear you feed back too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pufferman Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 Within the last 2 days we have had two invites for the layout so we have three dates pencilled in for 2014 already, we are going to Bognor Model Railway club show on the 11th & 12th Jan, have sent back the form for Alton, and I am currently filling out a form for Brighton Modelworld over the weekend of the 21st-23rd Feb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pufferman Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 With two shows in the diary for next year and a form about to go back in the post some track work as started. I have lifted the track that exits to the fiddle yard as at Woking we found that they were to tight I have removed the side ballast and have laid a bit of track to a better curve which once I get the board off the floor I will see how it looks going onto the fiddle yard board which is going to have to be moved along and made different. This curve is 100 times better. On the right hand track I have got to lift all the way back to the single slip as I have a double slip to install here, which will make operation into the loop siding better, this will be the first DCC operated point. The track I take up there will be relaid with Peco concrete sleepered track Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pufferman Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 Have had a very busy and productive evening on the layout tonight, have removed the wooden sleepered track running up the the single slip and lifted the single slip. I have also laid the new double slip, and put the concrete sleepered new track in place, ready to be cut for the catch point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pufferman Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 Another very productive evening, the replacement signals have been planted and wired so you can now see the double white when they are set to clear. A switch has been bought to fit to operate one half of the slip that will be fitted over the festive period, have worked out the new curve for the exit to the fiddle yard, the fiddle yard just needs a modification.

Pufferman Posted December 21, 2013 Author Share Posted December 21, 2013 Do look a bit better than the first ones we had, but CR signals were very good and swapped them for us. Full recommend them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pufferman Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 The exit road has now been re ballasted so we are now progressing well ready for Bognor Exhibition. New locos will be tested tomorrow as have been moving sound chips about today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pufferman Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 With just over a week before our next outing have been busy doing the alterations. I have made the modification to the fiddle yard, just the track to lay and then ballast it on the exit towards the fiddle yard. Have also now built a transport box to move the layout in my van. Also had time to play with my Christmas presents after sound fitting one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
