RMweb Premium newbryford Posted April 7, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 7, 2013 Need to get a move on with New Bryford in the next 3-4 weeks, as it's due to appear at the Derby Ex in May. Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted April 26, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 26, 2013 The broken point on the entry to the warehouse has been replaced. One of the switch rails had become detached from the tiebar The rails were cut with a sliiting disc and the point gently eased out of place. The ballast was then scraped away. The large hole is for a Peco motor directly clipped to the point base. The replacement point has been pinned down and ballasted - the ballast has since been weathered to try and match the surroundings. The hole is covered by trapping a suitably sized piece of brown paper between the point base and motor, using the motor to hold it in place. The point is laid and the edges of the paper glued down to disguise the hole. Then ballasted over. At the last show, we identified a trackplan change that could improve the operation of the layout, as well as providing an extra stock storage line. The existing back platform was a bay road, but by extending it around to the back and feeding it into the fiddleyard, it now becomes an extra through loop on the station. The front sections of NB have been reassembled for a few more scenic details to be added Cue trip to LMS tomorrow for materials! Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammy Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 You've made a very neat job of that point replacement Mick. You have weathered it in great. I'll be looking out for that at Derby! Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitbull1845 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Yes nice work Mick, if it was me I would have accidently ripped up the neighbouring point and probably just for luck knocked the relay cabinets over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted May 14, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 14, 2013 As always, I never seem to get enough pics at exhibitions. These were taken at the recent Derby Ex As shown originally over on my workbench thread, 60074 made her debut on 6E32 empty bitumen tanks. 67021 heads up a test train with 9523/977997/99666 and DVT 82129 at the rear A low view of the warehouse. The broken point at the entrance to the warehouse siding that was replaced a couple of weeks ago performed faultlessly! If anyone has any decent pic(s) of the by-pass bridge (with new sign gantry) across the middle of the layout, then please feel free to post here. Any other layout pics also welcome. cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.C.M Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Hi mick, The layout is looking great, certainly a lot different from when I saw it back in the 90s . I like the fiddle yard shot I always try and get a peek so I can see what trains are running. Can I ask what ballast you use please, I have some todo myself. Cheers Peter.

Hi Peter, Can't remember what ballast I used originally - it's been awhile! Fine stone......... - sorry to be a bit vague. I normally use Greenscenes products these days. Blackmill was ballasted with Greenscenes. Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
