pitbull1845 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Hi Paul, Layouts looking good. How do you do your crossings? filler/plaster?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted June 29, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 29, 2014 Polyfilla with some pva glue mixed in, slows down drying and limits cracks. Spread on with a credit card size piece and then a couple of nicks cut in the side to smooth it out and leave the rails just proud of the surface.

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted June 30, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) Ballast drying on the last board think I'll set up the yard tomorrow and test it again before I start details.Last technical bit to do is to attach the plug for the yard power to the Freemo board.Then I can spend Wednesday and Thursday faffing with buildings and details. Won't be finished but it will give a reasonable impression of finished Edited July 11, 2014 by PaulRhB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted July 1, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 1, 2014 Moving quickly between tufts of grass I came up with this sophisticated mod to my static sieve. Available from all good coffee shops less risk than damping down large areas. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted July 1, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 1, 2014 It's going to look a bit bare as I have few figures, there's a box somewhere but I appear to have stored it safely! That's this board presentable. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted July 1, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 1, 2014 Well apart from one point switch that appears to be isolated by glue on one side IT WORKS! Easy solution will be to swap out the switch later as I have spares. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortliner Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Well done - that looks good - should be fun to switch with something larger as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted July 2, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 2, 2014 Day out today plus a short shift at work later but I did pick up some figures so it doesn't look like a ghost town now. Just need to make up some plates to stack the boards in the car sort out the kadees and I'm ready Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted July 3, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 3, 2014 Z21 does do consisting, it was in the last update requires a bit of setup but it's there. I've got several locos just none dcc fitted yet. They are waiting for sound decoders and that money is being spent on another layout at present as it's intended for shows and will spend more time set up at home. I did consider borrowing their decoders but as they have custom UK files it would have meant sending them away for a reblow to get the sounds back.

Northpoint Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Day out today plus a short shift at work later but I did pick up some figures so it doesn't look like a ghost town now. I'm having trouble finding all my figures. I must have put them somewhere safe so it looks like my portion will be a bit like the Marie Celeste!

AndrewC Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Just spotted this. Very nice. One common UK to US translation issue though, you have the Sunnydale Produce Centre sign with the UK spelling of Centre. Should Be Center for the USofA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted July 11, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 11, 2014 It was good switching your yard. Also, glad that your trackmobile started working again after I had a play with it!! Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted July 11, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 11, 2014 Well it was nice that you said about it so I could see straight off Appears to have just been the chip overheating as it trundles around quite happily still after we rested it, it had been on the track for hours so it's something to watch with this little machine. I thoroughly enjoyed all the parts of the layout and it was nice to have a play on Fort Myers after seeing it at shows in the past too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
