RMweb Premium Jason T Posted January 30, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 30, 2014 Chicken feed haha sorry made me laugh! Just for the record I have a pet hedgehog. It is in good condition, and is almost original (except the awning alterations) Do you live in St.Agnes then? Cheers Jack The question on everyone's lips must surely be about your good condition hedgehog with awning alterations Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Donw Posted January 30, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 30, 2014 Coming along niely Jack. I found operating from the front worked well with an 0 gauge layout but with a 10ft senic length the operator didn;t block too much. I also had a walkabout controller with a box contained the point switches taped to the back on wander leads. With your smaller scenic area you could do most of the operating from the fy areas A nice high bar stool would provide operator comfort. The fascias do not need to be that deep Don edit the plug in for the DCC is on a pice of ply which clips underneath to avoid weakening the sides Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack00 Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Thanks for posting that Don. As you say the facia will be quite shallow at the front. I managed to get hold of a Gaugemaster "walk-about controller" which is handy. But point control will be rodding from, perhaps, the front for frontal operation. As mentioned before viewer's can get involved and interact. Nice looking 7mm project by the way, Don. Cheers Jack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack00 Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Made one of the fiddle yards today. Total length is 3ft which is perfect. Just on my way to get some wood for the fascia (spelling that wrong for ages) And matt paint. My thoughts turned against black, was thinking perhaps WR brown or cream or both. Soon be able to play trains! Jack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neville 'Sea' King Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Yes its my first post - although I have read the forum for a while - particularly the Railways in Cornwall section! I live near Mount Hawke which is a couple of stops away from St Agnes. The 'Sea KIng' is a nickname as I work at RNAS Culdrose! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack00 Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Mounte Hawke is a nice little village. The Railway headed out of Mount Hawke and up over the B3277 and into St.Agnes station. The track bed along the road is still visable (just about) Culdrose, very nice! Cheers Jack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack00 Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 So the Fascia is almost fully painted. Decided black was best in the end. Adding cream lettering that read "St.Agnes 1962" and eventually "Newquay & Chacewater Branchline" Now back to work on the fiddle yards. Jack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
