Interestingly, I'd imagined that it was going to look a little less rural and more "urban grot". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sb67 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Very nice Rob, the layout's come together really well, I do like that engine shed and the whole scene looks great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted April 13, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 13, 2020 Morning Steve, Thank you. Now that the basics are pretty much done. I can get on with the detailing. Rob. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the shots taken looking along the track, too. I'm now going to stick my head above the parapet for a brief moment, however. Whilst I think that the raised bank at the back and the addition of trees is a very welcome development indeed, I would like to most respectfully and with the politest of winds behind me, offer the most tentative and tiny suggestionette that the trees are perhaps, possibly, maybe just a tad too regularly spaced? The tall one in the corner obviously makes sense, if there is a corner in the backscene, but the others, whilst being the most admirable and worthy citizens of the tree world in their own right, could perhaps do with: (i) being spaced a bit more irregularly and (ii) having one or two 'little sisters or brothers' in their vicinity - saplings or perhaps overgrown bushes of some description. Just a thought. I'm off to hide in the undergrowth now. 5 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought. I'm off to hide in the undergrowth now. Thanks CK. Totally agree. The trees will be revised. I've been chatting to Spams about this very subject only this morning. The bigger trees were found a box whilst looking for something else and tried as an experiment. . I agree the right hand one works....ish. The one on the left doesn't. It's all a bit Capability Brown. I have a few smaller ones ready to go but I'm going to move on with buildings for a bit and come back to the trees. Thank you all for the various likes and comments. I'm really pleased with Sheep Dip. Mindful that I didn't really plan it, simply fancied the look of the buildings, things have evolved quite nicely.

woodenhead Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Wow now I realise that trackwise it's not a million miles from Sheep lane yet scenically it has so much more depth, especially with the embankment. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Great photos! I remember you saying you operate your points manually, and I assume these are electrofrog points like your other layouts, in which case the frogs are unpowered? Assuming this is the case, how well does the 48DS run on DC through these points? Any issue due to the short wheelbase? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morning Wooders. Sheep Dip is four inches longer than Sheep Lane and roughly five inches deeper. As ewe say, it does make a difference. 9 hours ago, Nick said: Great photos!

The points are all small radius PECO electro frog code 75. They are reliant on the point blades for the electrical continuity. As you say, the frogs are not powered. The little Ruston runs well and seems to cope. It's a good yardstick regarding running. If it will run, anything will. Rob. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted April 15, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 15, 2020 Attention sheep lovers and People of Wales! (not necessarily in that order). Are you aware of this new book on the industrial railways of Wales? - https://www.amberley-books.com/industrial-locomotives-railways-of-wales-9781445649443.html Looks rather good and available from today! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
