SDJR7F88 Posted May 27, 2018 Author Share Posted May 27, 2018 A short running session on my 00 Gauge Micro Layout "Compton Quay" featuring Hornby Sentinel 0-4-0 "Graham". Here we see "Graham", in smart Oxfordshire Ironstone Company Maroon Livery, shunting an assortment of Mixed Wagons on the Quayside. Hope you enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9-rCg1OaCA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noctilux2 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Just found this excellent thread. Whilst having found the overall dimensions of 48x14" amongst the brilliant images, have I missed the "fiddle" bit. I can see a partially hidden point, is that the only one so is it a single line fiddle using a loco lift ? Track plan ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see a partially hidden point, is that the only one so is it a single line fiddle using a loco lift ? Track plan ? Yes, it's a signal road fiddle yard the same length as a Peco Loco-Lift (which just fits a small loco and 3 short wheel base wagons). I think there might be a few views of the fiddle yard in one of my early update videos, but can't quite remember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveyDee68 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Whilst displaying Compton Quay at the Burnham Model Railway Show, a number of exhibitors and visitors to the event, brought along locos and stock to have a quick run on layout. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bplpHKmGFwo I know this post is a little Ltd, but have been rereading your thread as the simplicity of track plan and the pleasing arrangement of the (Metcalfe) buildings plus the cobbled inset rack is inspiring (and helping me to visualise my own dock based shunting layout). What I noticed in the video are the - what I think are/were - limited edition Dapol vans in private owner liveries (I'm guessing they are because recently seen some on eBay at silly prices!). I have a plain old BR livery Dapol van, but am having issues with "droopy coupling" a little like what I could see in your video. Do you have any suggestions how to fix this, or has this not been an issue for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simplicity was key for this one As for the Dapol wagon, they are a friend of mine's, but I do have a number of other Dapol wagons. I've seen a number of people with this issue, and I think the best thing one of them said is to pack the coupling with thin bits of card. Hope it's of help!

SDJR7F88 Posted March 28, 2020 Author Share Posted March 28, 2020 It been a bit of a while, but with the current shutdown, I've managed to dig Compton Quay out the loft for a spot of industrial running. Forgot how fun and photogenic the layout could be! 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDJR7F88 Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 A short running session featuring my recently completed Fry's Sentinel, on Compton Quay my 00 Gauge Dockside Micro Layout. The model is based on the same design of Sentinel locomotive that was used at the Fry's Somerdale Chocolate Factory in Keynsham, which was recently restored to full working order on the Avon Valley Railway, near Bristol in 2019, turned out in Fry's Royal Blue with Gold Leaf insignia. Constructed from the new 3D Printed Body Kit from Hardy's Hobbies, the model fits directly onto a Hornby Ruston chassis, with no modification necessary. Hope you enjoy! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
