F-UnitMad Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 So..... the solution to Dr G-F's layout indecision presents itself... Stuff the trains - just paste loads of Nigella pictures around the shed. Sorted. Put a camp bed in there too, as that's where you'll be sleeping once Mrs G-F sees them.

Dr Gerbil-Fritters Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 Dr G-F, it's time you got back into the shed. Yes, dear. Right away dear. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Gary H Posted July 28, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 28, 2015 Am I the only one suddenly thinking of a shelf layout? Hmm. I see what you did there. Very good. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gerbil-Fritters Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 Right then, having had the muse from Nige, it's back to business in the shed. Over the past three days I managed to relay the pike, with some improvements - particularly regarding the staging arrangements - and rewire everything. Test trains ran this afternoon, in time for tea. Honours were the usual raggedy-ass BNSF GP38s. An overview, starting from the south-east corner and proceeding clockwise to the north-east corner. The curved spur and the one immediately adjacent to it are for a building supplies company. The curved spur will be embedded in concrete to give access to both sides of lumber racks for unloading by forklift. The long spur on the right serves two warehouses. There's another long spur on the left, and a short teamtrack on the right, off the short loop that curves round to the right. I may put an overhead gantry crane here for unloading coil cars.... Curving further round, there is a small yard here for staging cars. This will disappear under a highway overpass. Looking the other way, there is a warehouse track on the left and off to the right a spur serving another construction supplies site. At the moment, the ready-mix cement plant is here. It might tay put. Finally a couple of portraits of my work-weary but utterly dependable GP38s. How I wish the Santa Fe was still going... 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcanman Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Looking good, Gr G-F. The layout has a nice flowing, spacious look to it. Just wondering if you could let me know which Pikestuff kit you you used in first pic - the left hand structure with the large central door opening. Looks to be exactly what I'm looking for for a project. Mal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Reichert Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Being an EMU person, I've never done much switching. So I may well be topologically challenged. But with just one loco, surely there has to be a run-around somewhere? (To prevent the Hotel California syndrome ) Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceejaydee Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) Dear Dr G-F, This looks very natural and prototypical and may be your best yet.

Dr Gerbil-Fritters Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) I had some fun today with my Chinese steamers. Big hufty things they are with lots of photogenic pipe runs and gubbins. I also made a mod to the frames of the QJ to eliminate the unsightly fresh air where the rear frames support the firebox. Looks better, and still goes around the corners. My tightest curves are 30" radius. Edited August 5, 2015 by Dr Gerbil-Fritters 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
