RMweb Premium HillsideDepot Posted April 3, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 3, 2018 Jokes about bridge bound buses aside, I'm really liking how this is coming together. Long DMU formations are certainly unusual in model form, but they look most impressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Regularity Posted April 3, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 3, 2018 The turntable still needs to be made that is just the well in its position. It will not be powered as it is next to the control panel so I can turn the engines by hand.You simply pick them up, and put them back facing the other way...? Looking nice - care in laying track to follow the straight lines and smooth curves is always worth it. So, now the track is down and wired, and the bus is on the bridge, is it time to start converting to DCC? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titan Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 (edited) Gosh Clive, you are starting to be a bit of an influence on me! Not only am I picking up an interest in DMU's, I am also starting to hack about an old Triang 101, which reminds me of the mods you made to Triang products. And I have gone and bought another one because I like to emphasise the M in DMU and run them in multiple! I love the layout, wish I had the space! Oh yes, and I have a 309 or two to do as well..

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted April 3, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 3, 2018 One minute they're black and white. The next in colour. He only did them in black and white because he thought it would be a cheaper licence to view them. Cheers, Mick 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted April 3, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 3, 2018 (edited) All the time I taking the photos and driving the trains in and out of the station I had at least one train running around the main lines...I think this will, be fun to operate. Moving more than one train at once? Have you gone DCC and not told us.......? Cheers, Mick Edited April 3, 2018 by newbryford Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted April 3, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 3, 2018 Buffer stops might be needed to stop locos going south.

RMweb Gold Dagworth Posted April 3, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 3, 2018 The last two feet of each platform road is isolated, if I remember to turn off the power. With diodes? That way you could have a push-button to allow trains in (that you couldn't forget to switch off) but trains can always depart. There has to be some benefit to the DC lark Andi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Mick Hi MICK I had two running on the mainlines as I moved the golden yellow ochre Brush Type 2 about the station throat. Then I forgot to photo it. It is possible to have four train moving at one time. But that requires two operators. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and a Platform or three. There will be a few platforms.......hills rolling in green :dontknow: level crossing, it is Sheffield and very hilly so no level crossings as it is all bridges. There will be a long road bridge I have more than one Sheffield Transport bus. Learned from experience (How's that Hymek by the way...?)
