LDM34046 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Hello, Just started a New layout, I've Made the Baseboards, laid down the track and set up the power, wiring will be done in the holidays and I'm looking for some inspiration, Plus, if my Computer speeds up I might be able to add some photos!!!

LDM34046 Posted May 5, 2012 Author Share Posted May 5, 2012 Anyway Layout is powered by a Bachmann Dynamis set which is very good although signal from the handset is a problem, all locos at the moment are DCC and many feature lights with the class 25 featuring sound. Locos include 20,25,55,03,150 and hopefully soon, If I can save up for it: a Heljan class 33 which I found on Hattons for £49!!!!!!!!!!! all track is peco code 100 Flexible track with pointwork being peco set track which has been livened with Hornby power clips. Track is laid on cork underlay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDM34046 Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 Just started the wiring!!!! what a nighmare!!!! also built the control panel along with some ekon signals: very good kit and just by looking at the sprue that the parts arrive on its very self explanary even without the instructions. wiring looks easy for that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mark Forrest Posted June 8, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 8, 2012 Keep the photos coming, it'll be interesting to see how this develops once you complete the scenery. If you are (as mentioned elsewhere) looking to get the layout out on the exhibition circuit most exhibition managers will want to at least have seen plenty of photos. Maybe expand on your description of the layout too - dimensions, era modelled, what area; is it inspired by anything/anywhere in particular?

LDM34046 Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 ok, thanks hopefully some more photos, just realesed the beast onto the layout. a new class 37 in intercity livery!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDM34046 Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 the layout is set when British Rail was on its last legs and privitisation was coming into effect. they layout is based in a fictional town based between tonbridge and sevenoaks. it recieves little passenger duties but frieght arrives on a regular basis. most of the rakes seen at MurrayField as small will the loco only pulling 2 or 3 wagons.
