5050 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Will visitors to the show looking for 'Peforia Narrows' please note that the photo on the website is now over 10 years old. I have aged considerably over the passage of time and my hair is not all it used to be. And, in many ways, neither is the rest of me.................................... But, good news - the layout is fine! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shortliner Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Durr! Where did that go? I just posted to say that La Ciénaga Switch had its first traffic today and worked as intended first time (How unusual is THAT!) Now need to go away and make some more buildings Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielB Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 The obstacle to finishing the electrical side of my layout has now been removed - my new soldering flux arrived today! So I can really crack on with it again this weekend Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark- it is a bashed about HO-78. I'm not entirely 100% happy with it, and might build another with proper arch windows, and paint this one white before consigning it to the boneyard.

F-UnitMad Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Just four use-able weekends to go.... if my list of "major" jobs has diminished, why is my list of "little bits to finish" growing..??? Of course there's still plenty of time for certain people on here to build a whole new layout from scratch, with time to spare... ...even if that "time to spare" is measured in minutes....

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted May 16, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 16, 2014 No spare weekends for me now but the only tasks for me to do is finish the second UP water tender to go behind the Challenger, fit horns to a Tunnel motor and fix a VW camper with surf board onto the layout. An evening or twos work. Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielB Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I know that feeling F-Unit! The more the big jobs diminish, the more little jobs keep cropping up! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortliner Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 La Ciénaga progress report - please note that layout IS a work in progress Buildings complete apart from details, but will remain unpainted for the time being, one(the largest) has been a pig and has been dismantled, and re-built, 3 times! Ballasting will almost certainly not be done before the show Vegetation may progress, but is unlikely to be completed Fascia for main board done and name attatched - need to get into Inversneckie sometime this week for a matchpot to paint the lettering Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortliner Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 The entrance to one of the sidings, the one that runs into the big building, is JUST wide enough - so today I need to take it apart AGAIN and make it a bit wider! ARRRGHHH! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

F-UnitMad Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Just had a quick panic - I have been giving my locos for the Show a bit of a run on the rolling road, when all of a sudden one of them stops dead. no response, nothing. Took the body off - no loose wires, can't see any shorts, motor isn't hot... I'm baffled Took me a few minutes to realise I had connected the rolling road to the controller with a couple of crocodile clips & spare wire. One had worked loose!!! D'oh!!! Feeling a bit thick right now, but mightily relieved that I still have my chosen motive power available!! *phew* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
