pitbull1845 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Amazing, looks about 3am when all services have stopped running. Will be nice to see some trains in the station, shut down waiting for the morning commute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doughnut Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 I assume you are joking and have actually tested the track No not joking...haven't tested it yet, so there may be one or two tweaks needed...maybe not? We shall see. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doughnut Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 At last the layout, with the exception of the Town area above the stations, is Finished!!! Lighting in Minsterley Station and the Station building installed, this week. As we approach the Witching hour I did a few nightshots to get in the mood. Next week will clean the track and run a test train. Dave 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hybridangel77 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Wow this just keeps getting better and better Dave. Just when i think you have set the bar as high as can be you go and surprise me once again. Is the station scratch built or is it a kit?

Jaz Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 As requested, two pics that show the whole thing (and not my overalls ); camera at one end looking West then camera at other end looking East. Also the first OHLE mast on the lines going into Sturford Station to be planted. Dave seriously gorgeous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Have you ever had it in a magazine? If not I would speak to Westerham, sort out a few pictures and a 'magazine' article and offer it to BRM. Andy Y.....could direct you, in fact Newbryford does lots of articles......go pick on him for how to go about it.....you can even tell him i sent you.......

Doughnut Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Many thanks. I wish I was up to the standard of scratch building a station like this Terry, but sadly it's a Faller kit of Bonn Station...but painted in the Minsterley house colours...station name printed on photopaper and interior lit with warm white LEDS. Never had it in a magazine Jaz, would be fun though..........if it works, that is?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed a/c Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Just keeps getting better and better !! Is that the Baden- Baden station building you have used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doughnut Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 I think it's Bonn Station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed a/c Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 My mistake, it is Bonn. Baden-Baden looks similar but has domed roofs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Doughnut Posted November 7, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2014 A new addition to Minsterley this week........................................................................TRAINS !!!!!!!!!!!! AT LAST!! After a shaky start, when I first hooked up the Lenz controller to the track and got instant short-circuit and some surgery....to locate the cause...We now have lift-off. Only a test loco not the official opening. 60007 with sound, checking all the track circuits and electro-frog points....good to GO!! Even my handbuilt cv9.25 cross-over, which I thought might give electrical probs, works perfectly. First time Ive had sound on a layout...and it is amazing! When the shortcircuit was happening yesterday,I had visions of having to lift all the points and start again But the 'Divide and conquer' method did the businesss, even though I had to cut some track with a slitting disc and some of the bus wire, to get 2 halves (easily repaired) . The cause of the misery was a bit of 3rd rail, which was touching one of the droppers on one rail, connected to another bit of 3rd rail touching another dropper on other rail...disaster!!. It was removed and has not been heard from since!!! 8) Dave First picture....Green for GO! 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
