Elagage56 Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 hi all thanks for the advice and good words.... there has been a distict lack of updates, but thats because i've acturly been working on it, rather than picking up ideas and being amazed by other peoples work on here! i have got the points wired up and working off a switch board. i got a gaugemaster transformer to power the system and have built a switchboard to fit. all seep point motors. works a treat! pictures to follow....... also nearly totaly finished the ballast and started other weathering. i've got a ratio ground signals kit and grounded van body to build for it now. cheers neil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWhippyO Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Hi there, great looking layout, I'm modelling this sort of era so I will be following this. For the motors I wired them to a 15V AC transformer and used spring-loaded SPDT switches to avoid burning out motors. Cheers, James Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elagage56 Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 well, yet again i've been way to long in replying but also yet again there has been a fair bit of progress...... mostly ground work this time. i've done the area behind the signal box which is acturly the front side of the layout. i've used woodland scenics products for it. i've never used them befor but i like them. heres a few pics....

Elagage56 Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 This layout looks good and I will follow with interest, out of interest who's trees have you used, they look very nice. hi cheers! its slowly taking shape now, as always its just finding the time to get to it. the trees are Bachmann, scene scapes, sycamores and elms. they are a little pricy, i wouldnt want to even begin to price up doing a forest, but they are good i think. i mount them direct into the ground, taking off the plastic root base. my ground work is made up of high-dencity foam covered in plaster filler. it seams to work really well. neil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold McC Posted February 26, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 26, 2012 Looks great! What did you use for the trunking and red trunks under the track? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elagage56 Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 thanks! its been a long time i've not updated, i need to get some more photos as i have now done alot more of the scenery and added a few more people, cars, wagons and locos! the trunking is simply 2mm plastic card, cut into strips and scored (i think it was) every 8mm. this was then just painted in halfords gray undercoat. the red pipes under the track are electric cable insulation, stripped from 1.5mm diameter single cord mains wire. its great, pre-coloured and flexible. i simple glued it down with pva befor ballasting, same with the concrete trunking. cheers neil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
