Damn autocorrect

To put a link from another page simply right click on the mouse and it will bring up the options menu, on it you will see the option to "copy link address" click it and it will copy to your computers memory. Then go the place you want to put the link right click again to bring up the options menu and you will see the option to "paste" click it and it will appear that's all you need to do any questions let me know 

Sorry they are upside down I'm still not quite shore on how to do every thing

Don't worry too much about your pics being upside down. If you want to have them the right way up you can rotate them (if you are uploading via a computer) by clicking on the pic you want to rotate and right clicking the mouse which should bring up an options menu i think it has the word "rotate" on it.

great lighting love it

Many thanks for the kind words above guys!

 

I filmed another layout update last night..  Went to edit the footage and discovered a huge smudge on the camera lens had messed up every clip

 

I'll be trying again tonight.

Hello, my name is Richard and I’ve been lurking around here as a guest for some time.  I've been helped and inspired by loads of stuff on here and thought it’s about time to show some of my efforts. 

 

Some of you may already know me as the creator of Everard Junction which features on YouTube.  I started the layout in late 2009 and have been working on it ever since.  The basic idea was to create something which was reliable.  My previous DC layout had very poor track work and caused huge issues every time I used it.  Everard Junction was to be bigger, better, reliable and above all Fun to operate.

Era - British Rail sectorisation in the late 80s.

 

The previous layout was the typical 60s choice to allow a mix of steam and diesel.  When planning the new layout I thought back to my childhood in the early 90s.  I remember seeing NSE and IC liveried trains rushing passed and wanted to try and recapture that.

 

Location - Somewhere not far from the great western mainline with connections to Reading, Didcot, Bristol, Bath and Birmingham   

 

The trains I saw as a child were running through Watford from Euston (so were probably a mix of class 86 and 87s).  I didn't have the skill to build OHLE so I settled on diesels running in the liveries I remember as a child.  To get more variety I backdated to the late 80s.  This made research much more difficult as I wasn't born until 92! 

 

Stock - Diesel locomotives and DMUs of the period

 

I've developed a great fondness for most of the mainstream diesels of the period so I try to have as much variety as possible on the layout while still remaining prototypical.  You will see examples of classes 08/20/31/33/37/43/47/50/56/58/60 running on the layout

 

Control - Lenz LH100

 

Back in 2009 there wasn't so much choice when it came to DCC systems.  I went for a Lenz and it's been fantastic.

 

Track - Peco code 100 streamline

 

I've always used some Peco in past layouts and been very impressed.  Everything is code 100 due to the various set track curves on the hidden parts of the layout and helixes.

 

Track Plan

 

The layout is basically a horseshoe shape with a helix at each end and a lower level to run trains continuously.  It takes about 3 minutes for a freight train to complete a loop of the layout.  Passenger trains take about 1:30 to 2 minutes.

Here are some pics of the layout in its current state..
