dasatcopthorne Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Great layout, Stuart. I'm impressed. But Is it really only 4ft? Looks more like 5 or 6 to me. Cheers. Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shreives Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 Hi Dave thanks very much the layout is actually 4ft and quarter of inch. It was built to fit on a shelf when I was living at my parents house. Stuart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shreives Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 Just a couple more shots of the 37 and 26 on the layout this time. I have added the snow ploughs and pipe work to the ends of the 26 as per the real engine. stuart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold simonmcp Posted August 24, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 24, 2014 Hi Stuart, Firstly I agree with all the others, a great layout that does look bigger than it is. I like the track layout as well, without seeing your thread I have managed to come up with the almost identical track plan except that the curve on mine goes the other way and it will be set in that magic area that is the border between Switzerland, Germany, Italy and Austria.

shreives Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 Well its been awhile but today I have managed to get a few scenic bits done on the layout mainly a long the backscene. guttering and downpipes are being added to the shed and a few detail bits have been done to the bridge aswell more on those next time. as the trees are looking bare in the real world summer time has arrived on the layout stuart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EHertsGER Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Thank you all again for your kind comments and suggestions Rivercider I really like the idea with the mirror I will certainly try this out. Courthsvale I agree I don't want to fill all the spaces that are available I like having the greenery And open spaces. I'm trying to get that fine balance so that it just works . I have been lurking on eBay the last few days watching sound chipped 25s and so on. But I have come to the conclusion that it would actually be cheaper for me to just buy one from my local model shop. I have also been looking at getting another body for my sound chipped transrail 37 the railfreight largo logo grey one is they one I have been looking at because it fits perfectly on to the new chaise with speaker housing. A quick question for you guys in the know couplings ? I have been looking into types 3 link is going to be a problem when trying to take a wagon back out from the shed . Using kadees is not really the way I want to go because I don't want to have to put magnets in the track plus I don't have a set shunting sequence I like to e able to dump any old wagon where ever I like. So my idea is to shorten the standard couplings that are already there so that it closes the gap abit but still easy enough to uncouple. Suggestions, ideas,comments greatfully received . Thanks stuart Have you looked at the Alex Jackson couplings - take a look at the CLAG board from the Scalefour Society; there is a huge amount of experienced wisdom there. From what I gather you can put the magnets up into the baseboard from underneath, leaving the ballasted/scenic sections unmolested.My take on it is that it offers remote uncoupling plus remains unobtrusive, allowing the fabulous atmosphere of this layout to remain uninterrupted by commercial fittings. Just my 2c worth... Best, Marcus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
