THS92-GWR-NO

Hey Nick! Thank you for these good questions and comments. Well, to start with your last question, I intended to run bi-directional on all tracks. Has also a bit to do with me being in Norway so that I could run Norwegian stock on the right side and still have signals as well as the lower platform being the one that serves services to the branch. So basically the lower would serve goods and branch. Platform is only temporary. I used it on the branch initially too to get started before I found better stuff. Scissors are staying, only discovered after the initial plan was made, and can't find any to put into the software for an updated version. Do you know of any working signals with shorter arms? When I created this plan, I had never heard of shunting signals (having read a bit more since creating this initially)

I don't know what to say here really. I can't even find the "faults" you mention in your posts on those Panniers. They look astounding!

I never got to Bergen, ended up in Ireland for a wedding instead. Next time I'm in Bergen, I'll get in touch, not many building UK style in Norway so we need to stick together The modules look great, and I love the fact that you have built a 360 consept, perfect for exhibitions!

Look at that scene, marvelous modelling!

Hi Robin The only construction that affects anything has been on the branch terminus, which already has the only signal it is going to have. As for the main the only building that isn't moving is the engine shed in the top left corner on the plan. Most can be changed still If you have any ideas, feel free to come with them :)

Need some advice on positioning of a signal. Normally all signals would be placed on the left in direction of travel shown below. In this photo you see the end of my main station, with a small goods fiddle yard, travel to single line branch, single line mainline and furthest to the right the sheds. Signal placed is to protect the point going mainline or sheds. I will be placing a similar one to protect the point going to the branch and mainline to the left of the signal in the photo. Should the junction signal be placed to the right at the end of the platform instead as there will be a similar signal on the other line same direction?

Truly stunning as always! Parking Rheneas there made it look like you had smoke from the chimney, had to zoom in to check if it was true So the Diesel, are we talking Rusty?

Gives me an instant rush to run down to the crossing with my camera. Love it

Hey guys! Superb layout(s)! Are you going to bring all of the layout(s) to MJmessen this year? Have you gone DCC or still on DC?

Oh great! Thanks a lot Paul

Internal railway would be interesting. Only I don't think I got space to do much of internal railway

Cool, yeah, I am able to alter that. I was originally thinking that one could use a lorry between the loader and the area it was dug out. But a conveyor like that, hmm, not a bad idea

One the terminus station there is a siding set for loading wagons with a plant, now that could of course be moved further into the mountain gap, possibly

Never heard of Penmaenmawr, so unfortunately not My only ideas are from TTTE

Stone and era 2/3

Hi all Does anyone have any tips on building a mountain quarry scene? What sort of buildings should one have? Here is the basis I'm designing from

I bet, my layout still haven't got enough scenics for me to get to that point, and I keep having decision avoidance when building the scenic parts

Hey all Does anyone have a GWR style Coaling and water structure ala Didcot up for grabs? 00 gauge...

Stumbled on your thread here now, and having gone through it from beginning to so far end, I am truly amazed! When you posted the first photos with your trees it took me a few post to realise that it wasn't real life This really takes the biscuit

Further more the past few days saw me fixing more on the hill to the branch-line terminus. Bridge is from a Faller kit I bought a year ago before there were any "concrete" layout plans Ever since I started reading and seeing videos of layouts I'd been dreading the next topic. Grass... I started hearing people talking of static grass. Figuring that this could not possibly be doable at my level, I used a mat on the terminus. Not being satisfied with that, and seeing excellent videos of layouts like Yorkshire Dales Model Railway and Stoke Courtenay, I decided to try. On a quiet nightshift a couple weeks ago, I found Marklinofsweden on YouTube and his video here which got me thinking "this could be doable"... So research started into what applicator should I choose. I found this video regarding selecting applicators So after consideration I ended with the Noch Grassmaster 3.0 (Also sold under Gaugemaster). And after a quick test, I was surprised as to how easy it handles when I took it for a test Why did I dread doing static grass?

A bit of running in between construction is great for morale. Now I've been running trains I've gotten back a lot of motivation for construction. Since my top end of the layout is to be a mountain quarry it was about time to get it started properly. Which reminds me that I need to get some tunnel portals soon. Next on my shopping plan. Though I am uncertain what style to choose... Any thoughts guys and gals? Now I need to start painting

Got some initial track testing running Drysllyn Castle and a good pair of GWR celestial coaches on the mainline track today. Checking widths track alignment and so on.

Now you can see the current platform I got, it's the Hornby Maithwaite stone platform. Have had two other types for consideration for a more brick style.

Today's update consists of little more than a good clean and a bit of checking on the construction foam hills. I would say it works pretty good (as I'm a probie here) Here you can see the elevation between lower main-line and elevated branch-line

Hi all! So I have now found that vimeo isn't usable, so gone on YouTube.
