RAY NORWOOD Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) Her to be obayed and I, we went for a walk the other day and I picked up some sticks to go in the timber yard and I got a little boared so I cut the sticks into small lenghts and glued them in bundales and put them in the timber yard.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted March 11, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 11, 2012 Utterly charming, with a convincing sleepy, rural, atmosphere. The last pic through the bridge is particularly successful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you like the pics and the layout. RAY70B Edited March 12, 2012 by RAY NORWOOD 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingsignalman Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 The layout's looking marvellous; it doesn't seem that long ago I was picking holes in your first trackplan! If I can achieve something half as good, I'll be very happy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can achieve something half as good, I'll be very happy Hi Keith Yes I do remember that with track plan you gave some good ideas, I think if you put your mind to it and a bit of planning you'll be surpriced what you could do.

RAY NORWOOD Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 (edited) I've just finished the Langley Models crane for the Timber yard and put it in place.

RAY NORWOOD Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 I've put on a coalman carrying a sack and some sacks with scales I had got from Langley models at the weekend at the Ally Pally. I also put on some flower heads on the grass. some pic's of the flowers RAY70B 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcountryman Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Hi Ray, Once again, cracking photos mate, you've really got the atmosphere spot on. The coalman & weighing scales really look the part, & once you get the forklift planted it'll really bring it to life. The flowers have certainly added to the overall effect, & well done, once again. Are you going to try to give it a 'backing track'? Because it would be smashing to have a bit of bird song & countryside sounds. I reckon you'll enjoy your break mate, but knowing you, I suppose you'll have some bits & bobs to get on with tucked away! See you soon buddy, & have a good time. All the best, Rob 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D802 FORMIDABLE Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Those flowers Ray are the icing on the cake mate, they just complete it perfectly. Cheers Anthony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best, Rob Hi Rob Thanks for your comments Rob. Yes I am still thinking of the back ground of the country side sounds but not sure were to get the sound track from. Been into Buffers yesterday, nice peaple in there offered me a cup of tea as soon as I walked in the shop, I got two Dapol wagon kits to do while I am away in the caravan plus the once I had brought with me, I won't get bord . Those flowers Ray are the icing on the cake mate, they just complete it perfectly. Cheers Anthony Hi Anthony Thank you for your comment. It is all coming to gether now.

westcountryman Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Hi Ray. Glad to hear that you are enjoying your break, shame you don't have last week's weather though! I'm sure that the inside of your caravan will be a hive of modelling activity, & the trip to Buffers sounds like a nice way to spend an afternoon. I'll be interested to see the finished offerings from Dapol, because I was thinking of getting a few myself. I didn't manage to get to the club this week due to a vicious attack of 'man-flu', no. don't laugh, it really laid me low! I'll be fighting fit for the Ilfracombe show on Saturday, so I'll drop in on Darren & Torrington. Enjoy yourselves buddy, & make the most of the unseasonal weather!

RAY NORWOOD Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 I've been working on operating Yard Shunter on my laptop from my Ipod. I downloaded JRMI on to my laptop and made a skimatic of Yard Shunter on my computer and I have setup a WiFi connection using an old router to my Ipod and computer after downloading a Withrottle app from Itunes onto my Ipod to control Loco's and my turnouts on Yard Shunter. It all goes through my NCE Power Cab to the layout. The idea is to control Yard Shunter any where around the layout with out wires around my ankles.

RAY NORWOOD Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 l had two hours playing on Yard Shunter with my laptop and Ipod and it as worked with out trouble. The only thing is the battery in the Ipod will only run for a couple of hours but it does not take long to recharge by connecting it in to the USB port on the laptop, so when it is being recharged I can use the Power Cab hand hand throttle.
