mason Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Im definatly considering building my own for a little side project away from deeping lane, i think they look amazing and wish i had done it along time ago. Neil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBE Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 Well I've just finished gluing down the respaced sleepers for the concrete main line complete with camber. Threaded the rail in and made final adjustments before the glue completely sets. I dont know if its the correct amount or not but the superelevation looks pretty cool. Can't wait to see it when complete with locos leaning round the bend! Photos soon. Cav Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.C.M Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Hi Cav, The extension is looking good, really like your Vitrains Duff, 47210 used to follow me about a bit and always had ploughs when I saw it. I had a read through your thread on 47210 as I am thinking of getting one. I hope it looks ok with my Bachmann 47s. Cheers Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That must be good. anyway heres a few pics. Cav Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mason Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Im sure you will do it mate, i think once the track is laid and wired you will blister through it Neil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimleygrid Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Very nice work on that point, wish I had the skill and patience to try making my own! Look forward to seeing the extension. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBE Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 Cheers grim. You know its not as hard as youd think. its all about the setting out really and the order you do things. Even making the crossing v is a doddle. im not sure whether you could do it in p4 but i just machine them with a dremel! its as sharp as anything so no reason why not. at around 10 ft radius it works out between 5 and 6 degrees. 2.5 degrees off each rail. Neil with all those layouts there i dont think andy will have room for a workshop! Cav Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Lovely track work, I wish I had the patience to do hand made track, Looking forward to seeing it on Sat as a demo board!

RBE Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 hi andy, i wasnt planning on bringing the extension just the main layout. There really isnt much done on it in any case. plus ive not got a way of fitting it all in the car yet haha. Cav Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBE Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 Well Ive managed to get a few hours in tonight and finished the construction of the large point. just the accompanying smaller one to do now before laying the sidings/yard entrance. The point is a monster and looks the part i think even if i do day so myself. cant wait to get the other done now so that I can start the good bit! cheers Cav Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mason Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Hi mate, that is a beast, but looks awesome, you dont realise the size until you see the 08 on it, great work Neil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
