enginelane Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 Last day at Warley and ideas on how to improve the depot and the stream under the bridge. Also looking to increase number of trains in the fiddle yard by looking at train lengths. What has worked well is the increased capacity on the industrial branch - onwards to NEC breakfast Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

enginelane Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) Layout back in Clubrooms after 3 long days at Warley but an enjoyable experience. Thank you Warley for the invitation. Layout ran well throughout the weekend and lots of positive comments received as well as a number of invitations so can confirm that Troutons will be on the road in 2017 and 2018 as well as its 2016 commitments. Managed to get a better sequence of container trains out onto the mainline as the branch, increased number of trains in the fiddle yards and bought more steel strip carriers. The motorway gantry worked well, it seems to frame the entrance to the motorway bridge with the flashing road traffic car adding just the right touch of animation. What to work on - coupling heights, lots of different owner stock means we need to do better at heights especially with kadee fitted stock, weights in stock to stop long vehicle wobble and of course not forgetting the temp track that extends the branch fiddle yard!

enginelane Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 Windy old day as Frank storms into the UK. Hope it does not bring too much rain for those already affected.
