67A Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Hi Michael, Superb looking building taking shape there, as Clive said above there no correct button to press, just brilliant. Tim and Mike T. have done an excellent job, would not expect anything less from those lads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Delamar Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 First one nearly done, apart from some cross bracing. Woodworking is something I dont really enjoy. This is now very strong, not particularly heavy and has given me an idea on how to do the the next lot, so they shouldnt take as long. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Delamar Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 I may leave the bracing until im exactly sure where all the point motors and cut outs for ash pits etc are going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Delamar Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 I havent had any clubroom time recently but got them nearly finished last night, i would have done the one on the bench only i ran out of screws, once legs are on and a start is made on track I will take boards home sometimes to work on them. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Moore Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Mike I'm really looking forward to seeing this come to life. Nice that your doing something close to your heart. Shame I don't have the room for Tinsley or I'd follow suit. The option of ex gcr visitors along with the regular locos makes for a interesting subject with plenty of operating potential.

Michael Delamar Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 Its been a while but the boards for the scenic part of the layout are more a less complete, this was done tonight. Still to have some diagonal bracing on the legs and the internal x bracing will be put in once ive worked out where point motors are going so i can work around them, but at the moment its up on its legs and its very solid, im also very happy with the baseboard joins. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted February 9, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 9, 2015 Kind of puts into perspective just how big this layout is going to be seeing those locos lost on the baseboards. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
