Jack00 Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Think I'm going to set the camera up and record shunting in the depot. A busy summers day, lots of passenger stock and freight workings. Jack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

7APT7 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Hi Mate, Love your Photos, The one looking at the Class 37 from Ground Level looks great, that how I like to take my Photos of Layout to give that touch of reality, as if it were the real thing, as we do when we take photos in real life we point the camera up towards the cab of down the lengh of the loco... Cool... I want to see more like it... other photos are great as is the layout... but class 37 does it for me on your photos. regards Jamie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack00 Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 Hi Jamie thanks for the kind words, much appreciated. 100% agree with you about the photos pointing upwards they are deffenantly a winner for me too, like you said that's how we would do close-ups on the real things, I played around with the DMU's perticually the 150, with shots looking as tho it's taken from aboard the train passing or halted at the station, it's something different than head on shots for example. Glad you like the layout, and those grotty 37's, Bachmann editions are first choice for me. Can't help but miss EWS 37's from polkyth, I think I'll have to do something about that!! I'll upload some more lower level shots of the loco's. I'm finally printing signs off at the minute, taken me ages to get round to it. Slowly but surely it will get done, as with most things. Jack.

MrWhippyO Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Looking good Jack! I like 37428 in sector livery. I really need to get a new camera for Shalmstry, my HTC doesn't really work in anything other than natural daylight, I'll need to get Shalmstry outside for some photos on a nice day!

NSE DAZ Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Hi Jack, Cracking updates as normal, that new camera is really bringing out the best in Polkyth Look forward to further updates, All the best Darren NSE DAZ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack00 Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 Hi thanks for the kind comments chaps. James, it's Suprising how much different a camera makes compared to a phone camera, hopefully the nice weather will stick around aswel! 37428 is a nice looking edition well done Bachmann! The only thing Is the bogies tend to wander slightly but maybe adding more weight will help, plus more traction! 66 wanders like a lost sheep too! Must be my track laying lol! NSE DAZ, thanks for kind comment, layout coming on now, just need to crack on with lights and more touching up in Places. And of course running trains!

MrWhippyO Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 The bogies on my Bachmann 37254 so wander a bit, maybe it's recurring problem? It's never too serious to actually derail it, because it's DCC Sound it weighs nearly the same as a 1:1 model and it has really really good grip, without any traction tyres!

Jack00 Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 It must be a Bachmann thing ( not my track laying haha ) all my Hornby/lima/Heljan stuff seems to be fine. Bachmann 66 is the worse of them all i tend to keep that on depot as its just plain annoying when it runs on the branchline, especially when it clowts the bridge. wow all that weight and grip must be amazing, i remebered i had a lima 47 in RES in the loft, i took the traction tyre's off to replace them, i never actually got round to it and forgot about it until last year, it wouldn't even pull its self from a standing start, wheel spin!! good old Lima, can't go wrong with rigid bodies and deep flanges never used to derail. right...back to autotrader for new car...! :0 Jack.

MrWhippyO Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 My Lima stuff is horrendous..... they both need new motors, might just sell them and get something else which is much better! Quite fancy a DRS 20....... James Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack00 Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 The Lima pole driven ones like 20's and 67's old style are ok, but the cog motors are pretty bad to be honest. I love the Bachmann 20's they look the business! Hopefully you'll find ltd ed DRS Bachmann one!! Jack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack00 Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 I have a few more pictures from the new camera! My next task is to fill the centre depot section with vans and cars, maybe a short wheel base tanker lorry next to the fuel point aswell. Jack...

Jack00 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 not impressed! my Bachmann 66 derialing problem is getting worse, there's so much "play" betweeen the flanges and side of the rails! its just like a lost lamb wandering around, well, im tempted to re-chassis the 66, see if it makes a defference i may have a duff one of the batch! or maybe i've knocked it out of place somehow...

Jack00 Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 Well just another lazy Sunday, been for a drive in the new car, saw 57602 and a few HST's. Then took a few photo's of the layout. Enginnering works on a sunday... realised something was missing, ballest wagons, i may well have a stroll down to model shop in a min, if i can move after big big roast that is.... Jack.
