Hi all......at last, we have been able to have a running night, most boards have bus wires and droppers installed allowing us to run a few of the members stock, as always a few minor hiccups but nothing that cannot be resolved. We have also re-named the project... St katherines after our club building which we are based.. a good night was had by all, here are a few pics.... thats all for now... ...Dave

Here are some more progress pics from tonights meeting....please excuse the lighting as they are not very good in the club room. fiddle yards, main lines are the two center two... looking towards st james ... north road bridge and its junction....at the minute the bridge is a template for positioning. near the light is where the cattle dock is positioned, the space where the pile of loose track is will be the carriage sidings....(this section is my build ) looking towards north road bridge and exeter central position lines....Exmouth bay platform on the left,the two r/h lines is the other bay and line leading to the sidings just past the toolbox! droppers and main buz wiring are just being started......

Hi Eddie... will try to post progress this week

Hi all....due to a lot of interest of a bit of help request for info on exeter central in prototype blog, i thought i would post this build,it is an N gauge layout being built by our club(Junction 72A mrc) of Exeter Central....it is approx 16 feet long and 8 feet wide, baseboards have been made to come apart in 8 sections(for exhibitions) and track has been partially/temporarily laid at this time,as far as i know it will be dcc!... here are a few pictures...... view looking up through the station (from queen street) showing its 4 mainlines, bays and goods yard track to be laid,new north road bridge(template) can be seen in the distance. This corner will be used as a 6 track fiddle yard long enough to hold 10 coach trains,2 mainlines run down the middle this where we have a scenic break,this is the direction out towards exeter st davids rear of layout showing the 2 mainlines,the vacant space to its right will be 72A engine sheds, its turntable and carriage sheds view looking at where St James will be view looking back towards central and new north road, this is the large junction to access bays and carriage shed,lots of pointwork to fit yet!! i will post more as the build comes together ...dave

Hi Carl ..just read through post to say keep up the good work and keep sending updates

nice tidy job...good work

Hi gwrrob..like the look of the layout and some crackin scenic shots I had the same problem with brittle seamoss trees but found that if soaked in water/pva mix for a while and then left to dry and then covered they became a bit more hard wearing to knocks etc

Thanks for the compliments... now I have worked out the forum a build/layout thread has been started..

Here is the build progress so far of my layout called Exe Valley,a fictional GWR branchline somewhere in devon along the exe . an N gauge...dc controlled u shaped layout 6 x 6 x 6 ft and 1 ft wide boards.
