    I think it was the recent Model Rail which did a feature on N-gauge layout design.
     
    Rule 1: No turnouts on bridges - there's nowhere to put the point motor.
     

     
    Here's a work around. And it's cheap and seems reliable enough.
     
    Components: Short length of plastic rod, 1 x track pin, 2 x cable tie stick feet. Elastoplast.
     
    1. Drill a hole underneath the point in line with the tie bar.
    2. Drop a track pin through the hole in the tie-bar.
    3. Thread a plastic rod through the 2 sticky feet.
    4. Pierce the plastic rod with the protruding track pin. Apply Elastoplast to your finger where the track pin enters.
    5. Peel off the backing on the sticky feet and align them such that the rod moves smoothly. Note, the track pin swivels in the tie bar, so it doesn't have to be perfect.
     
    NB: A blob of superglue between the stick feet and the bottom of the baseboard will make it rock solid. Lets be honest we want this to last and sticky feet are peelable.
     
    6. The stick feet are slim so easily disguised with the normal side-plating used on a bridge.
     

     
    On "Roding Reach" the white plastic rods will push through holes in the backscene which will further add strength and hopefully prevent accidental damage.

    Bit more progress....

    By AndyB,

    ...well perhaps more of an excuse to show some photos from my N gauge layout, Roding Reach.
     
    Rain over recent weeks hasn't exactly motivated me to go outside and work on the 2 end baseboards. So, been working on a couple of Kestrel Design kits in odd moments. Hence scenery continues before the woodwork, trackwork, electics are anywhere near complete.
    New job and a commute have also curtailed play time. Rats.
     
    Overcast rather than persisting down today, so cut out some hardboad for the backscene.
     
    Little by little getting there.
     
    Anyway, here are some photos...
     
    The overall length of this baseboard is about 4 feet, this photo shows the overall idea. Station at the left, junction mid-way along the board, branch line to the fore, main line to the rear.
     

     
    A while back I mentioned how I'd cooked up a simple "point motor" using a plastic rod, a track pin and a couple of sticky feet. Now that the viaduct and the backscene are in position here's a plan view of how it goes together.
     

     
    I've been having great fun with the really simple and effective Kestrel Designs kits. Many years ago my Nanna lived in a block of flats on the Romford Road not too dissimilar to the one on the left, so wanted to include something in a similar vein. And yes, the No 25 bus seemed to fit the bill.
     
    I'll be using a Scalescenes download to provide roads, so hopefully this will be one of the last shots with MDF terrain!
     

     
    I've been experimenting with view blockers at each end of the layout and, as I had some Metcalf buildings to hand, I'm trying these out for now. At the other end of the layout I may be using a combination of buildings and billboards.
     

     
    And finally, for now, I wanted to introduce some location and time specific graffiti, hence the "G Davies", the "CND" and "West Ham" references. OK, I'll admit 47035 may need to be renumbered to complete the picture! But hey, Roding Reach won't be built in a day!
     

  3. AndyB
    A while back I asked for help and suggestions for a view blocker for my layout (Roding Reach); the slight complication being that the track runs on a viaduct. So, the usual road overbrige was not possible.
     
    Luckily you lot came up trumps and I was particularly taken by the idea of usin a hydraulic accumulator tower.
     
    The only fly in the ointment was that I liked the idea so much the tower seems to be destined for centrer stage!
     

     
    For anyone intersted I built a box from white plasticard and then faced it withh Slaters 2mm brick.
     
    I also tried a slightly different technique to produce the faded letterng onto the brick, namely using a white gel pen. Scrubbing over the lettering once dry and dry brushing with frame dirt and weathered black helped. Having produced the lettering freehand it helped disguise the inevitable differences in font and size! I did have a go at the "transfers over white paint" idea that you recommended but that will be something I'll come back to for a second go sometime.
     

     
    The white gel pen also worked nicely for a little bit of grafitti I wanted to produce - photos to follow....

    Planning starts!

    By AndyB,

    Ok, it's a strange way to go about building a model railway. Starting the "scenery" before building the baseboard that will go underneath it.
     
    Probably need to explain that.
     
    "Roding Reach" will be a change of gauge for me, coming down from 00 to N. And i wanted to see if I could cope with the fiddly nature (or what I presumed would be be fiddly) before getting too stuck in.
     
    The best way seemed to be to make a short section that included track, points, viaduct walls.
     
    Having done that and found that it was a "goer" I decided to take it a bit further and build a layout out of this first section.
     
    So, having built a major part of of the layout it is time to start the planning.
     
    Last night saw me bending bits of spare flexitrack to see how to turn the track at each end and see "what was left" for a traverser at the rear of the layout.
     
    Not much was the answer if I simply curved the track round in a simple oval.
     
    One thought I did have was to add a second scenic section, lengthening the layout. But this would pretty much fill the length of the lounge. And I'm fairly certain that would really reduce the number of times the layout comes out of storage for a play session.
     
    Luckily "the wife" came up with an answer. Or as it was handed down with the authority normally reserved for High Court judges, we better call it "THE Answer".
     
    "Why don't you make the two return loops at either end into scenic sections. You'd get a longer running track and not need a 2nd scenic section to make a longer layout."
     
    So, off to find some lining paper and start drawing the rest of the layout 1:1.

    Being a kid of the 70s BR Blue was all I knew. Growing up in the south of Essex and commuting to school and college on the LTS and Southend Victoria lines not surprisingly EMUs were pretty much it.
     
    But 30-odd (somtimes very odd) years on a bit of nostalgia is creeping in.
     
    Not having room for another 00 gauge layout I thought, why not have a go in N gauge. And maybe build something that could be built and used in doors during the winter months.
     
    I've deliberately kept it small for starters. Partly as storage is going to be an issue. But also it'd be a shame to start a layout that was going to be more of a burden to finish.
     
    The layout is going to have a double track to allow trains to pass each other, mimicing a busy commuter route. And a branch to send freight traffic down. There will be a "half" station at the left hand end to add interest. And the possibility of extending the layout to the right hand side to lengthen the run. Fiddle yard round the back accessed by turn arounds at each end of the scenic section.
     
    To date I've inherited some old and vintage GF steam rolling stock. But in time I want to get hold of appropriate BR Blue era items.
     
    Why "Roding Reach"? Well every layout needs a working title and tracing my family back a couple of generations you'll find them dotted along the banks of the River Roding. And a lot of my early "spotting" years were spent waiting for 37s and 47s thundering past the Ilford flyover.
     
    Thanks to all who have pitched in with thoughts on the EMU thread I started and also on the "freight on the Tilbury loop" thread.
     
    That's it for now. Hope you'll stop by again sometime and see progress.

    Highworth backscene

    By AndyB,

    Thanks first of all to those who pitched in on the scenery thread I started where I was trying to reconcile the grey stone used on the Metcalfe warehouse with the redder hues on the Peco backscene.
     
    To square that away I'm experimenting with various washes over the Metcalfe kit to blend the two colours.
     
    Anyway, here's the first attempt at adding depth to the model using a mixture of Peco backscene and hand-painted hills and skies.
     
    I laid down a white MDF primer some time ago - anything is better than bare hardboard. Out in-house artist, Jo, recommends, however using a white emulsion into which you mix blues and greys. Apparently emulsion and watercolours love each other.
     
    Having bought sections of medium and large Peco backscenes I spent a rather laborious evening cutting round the roofline to get rid of the overly blue sky offered by Peco.
     
    To avoid too much repetition I'm planning on overlaying sections of "large" in front of "medium".
     
    For now I wanted to make some progress around the tunnel portal and warehouse.
     
    I used a mix of watercolours to extend the Peco hill and blend it into the 3-d scenery around the tunnel portal. Hopefully we're not a million miles away from getting the printed part to blend with the bit I painted. I've put a tree in front of the join.
     
    I then started to work on the sky which I wanted to make "threatening". The photos attached look a little bluer than they do in reality. This is a first attempt and the sky will need more work.
     
    And as Jo in the office predicted - it was fun.

    Tunnel portals for Highworth

    By AndyB,

    With some 9 tunnel portals on Highworth I've started looking for prototype inspiration and working up to a bit of scratchbuilding.
     
    The various ready-to-use offerings are ok and have worked so far, but there are a couple of "vacancies" for something better/a little bit different, see below.
     
    The twin track portal that forms the entry/exit to Highworth station is the first one I want to tackle.
     
    http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php/gallery/image/22472-picture-138jpg/
     
    This particular portal is hard up against the backscene and will most likely need a retaining wall to help blend the 3-d landscape into the backscene.
     
    The 2nd image shows that there will be a tall retaining wall on the left of the tunnel.
     
    http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php/gallery/image/22473-picture-144jpg/
     
    Bit of a plea here. If anyone can point me to some photos of interesting prototypes of tunnel portals I'd be really grateful.
     
    Lastly, this image shows...
     
    http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php/gallery/image/22474-picture-145jpg/
     
    ... what I'm trying to move away from. I created this as a temporary finish to a tunnel mouth using Slaters 7mm stone sheeting. There's nothing good about this and I'd like to improve the quality of the modelling. Again, if anyone can point me to some "vault" of photos that would contain some inspiration then I'd be really grateful.

    Woking 2010 exhibition

    By AndyB,

    Just posted some images from the Woking exhibition; a small smattering of what was on offer.
     
    Thomas Junction - what can one say?! Delightful, engaging, but most of all clever. Richard Pretious has certainly done much to get the very youngest of next gen. modellers interested in the hobby, not forgetting Thunderbird 3 and Kermit the Frog who ably assist him!
     
    For me, Umbridge summed up what N gauge is all about. A work in progress it is an ambitious 4 track mainline, with harbour, ferry terminal,....Just one of those layouts that makes you think about swapping gauges and having full length expresses meeting local DMU services at a busy through station.
     
    Not forgetting 3 Z-gauge offerings in suitcases. Not to everyone's taste, certainly.
     
    Perhaps for me the most eye catching exhibit didn't have a single train. Attributed to Roy Hickman I've posted some images from a diorama which the stand-manners claimed had been made "For a tenner" from Weetabix packets.
     
    Quality modelling using scrap material and relatively simple techniques. As a demonstration they were making up trees from twigs, sofa cushion foam and brillo pads in a matter of moments. The sample they made for us will be appearing on "Highworth" in due course, along with some we'll have made ourselves.
     
    The photos shown here are just a fraction of what was on offer.
     
    Lastly, many thanks to the show organisers. Both inside and out in the car park!

    The early morning rain dance seemed to work, delaying painting the house's window fames. Which frees me up to do some ballasting on Highworth station.
     
    Somehow I always end up with excess ballast sitting on top of the sleepers. The end result has the air of a ramshackle set of tracks leading down a disused mine shaft.
     
    Interested in the new Metcalfe warehouse kit as a half-relief along the back of the station. However at £12 per foot of coverage this seems quite a lot when you consider the length of the station and throat that will need half-relief buildings. So, starting to look at the Scalescenes offerings.
     
    I was particularly impressed by the recent Harbour Office that was produced. In my dreams I'd be able to produce buildings like that. Grrr.
     
    Anyway, before the effects of my rain dance wear off and the sun comes out, better crack on with said ballasting.

    For most of the time I've been building Highworth I was accessing the garage through the main "up and over" door. As the railway was pretty much circular this meant that to get to the freezer we all needed to limbo under two baseboards then do the return journey clutching frozen food! Not ideal, but it kept us fit.
     
    The major disadvantage was that whenever I was working on the layout it was exposed to the elements. That made it almost impossible to do anything through the winter months.
     
    So, we bit the bullet and installed a side door. Very soon the lawn leading to said door was a trampled mess, so last weekend I put a path in. Seemed a good idea to finish it off with a rose arch. So, this morning planted up "Malvern Hills" rose and "Kingfisher" clematis. In theory these should flower blue and yellow. Not sure I had BR colours in mind when I chose them, but who knows how the old grey cells work. Garden path, rose arch and plants probably cost sub £100 and there were numerous beer points awarded. Off to spend them later....

    Scenery - hoorah!

    By AndyB,

    After quite a long time fiddling around with ballast it seemed a good idea to ring the changes and have a go at some scenery.
     
    As the tunnel portal looked quite good I figured, why not make some progress on this area and start to blend it in with the (currently) flat MDF board on which the station throat sits.
     
    The station throat is on quite a steep gradient; long story, but the fiddle yard below has plenty of room to reach into!
     

     
    Basically I wanted to disguise this gradient a bit and some kind of view blocking embankment seemed to fit the spec.
     
    Enter the expanding foam!
     
    With help from my young assistant who doesn't really "get" model railways, but knows a good "making and doing" project when she sees one (the alternative was swatting for this week's spelling test ), we set to with cutting up bandages and plastering them into position.
     
    I've subsequently added a layer of plaster and plan to paint and add scatter.
     
    Here's a photo of progress to date. Looking forward to cracking on with this project tomorrow!
     
    Back to work just now.
     

     
     
    Version 1 of my scenery (above) failed to acheve quite what I wanted - a railway within the landscape. Around the platform ends it looked as if the landscape had been plonked on top of the baseboard.
     
    The main reason for this was that the expanding foam had a uniform thickness as the basboard climbed towards the station. Imagine a hedge and you've got the idea.
     
    So, I took a knife to the foam and carved through, making the foam "fade" (roughly) into the baseboard;see below.
     

     
    Working on the scatter just now. And then off to get more expanding foam to tackle the hill which is anything but a "railway in a landscape".

    Garage day!

    By AndyB,

    An unusual birthday present from my wife, maybe, but most welcome. A day allocated exclusively to working on the garage layout - Highworth. No kids, no chores. Ploughmans lunch served at the layout. Excellent.
     
    I set to working on the area behind Highworth Station. I've a fair number of the usual Metcalfe and Superquick shops left over from a previous layout. So, the bog-standard "High Street" seemed to be inevitable.
     
    Nothing wrong with that approach - but I do tend to glaze over when looking at the model railway press and the only thing that changes is the order in which the shops have been placed on the backscene.
     
    What to do?
     
    Then a bit of inspiration triggered by a Happy Birthday text from my brother from his canal boat - fishing rod in one hand, texting gadget-thingy in the other, no doubt.
     
    Why not put a canal scene with warehouses in as the backdrop for Highworth Station? A spare couple of Wills retaining wall pieces were found in the "Odds and Ends" box and this swung it. By the end of the weekend (with kids now in tow and eager to help) the canal started to take shape.
     
    The photo shows an initial layout of the 3 Wills retaining wall kits (yep, 2 more kits acquired over the weekend and wallet £13 lighter). Artist's mounting board left over from last week's platform building project forms the bottom of the canal.
     
    Back to work now.

    Hiring a skip seemed to make sense for this year's clearout of our sideway. It was that or 20 round trips in the Rover to the local tip. It was during the "topping our" ceremony, where in a Pythonesque moment I was trying to cram one last item on to the teetering pile inside the skip that I saw this shelving unit through new eyes.
     
    http://www.focusdiy.co.uk/Payless/Payless-5-Tier-Shelving-Unit/invt/252707
     
    Disassembling it to see if it would fit into ths skip, the shelves looked as if, with a layer of cork, they'd make suitable baseboards for my son's N gauge layout that will slide under his bed.
     
    A few days later, a second thought occured as I was constructing the platforms for Highworth. Yep, taking the shelves apart each of the slats was a near perfect height and width to act as rigid formers for the platforms.
     
    Topped off with mounting board and with plaform sides from a Metcalfe kit they are starting to look the part. Photos to follow....

    Dear Santa....

    By AndyB,

    Took a day off today and made some progress on the scenic baseboard for Roding Reach. Not much progress, as I needed to check out the log fire at my local around lunchtime. I think it's important to strike a balance between modelling time and beer time.
     
    Early start at work tomorrow and so that's it until the weekend.
     
    Anyway, it's that time of year when Santa starts asking about Christmas lists.
     
    This year I'm hoping he'll have read the recent thread about "Freight on the Tilbury Loop". And if he has, then maybe a "Ford Pallet van" or two? Of course, if he's feeling really generous then a GF Class 47 would be much appreciated.
     

     
    Having said that, I can't help thinking that a lot of folk will be away from their families this Christmas serving in Afghanistan. So Santa, I'll settle for seeing the kids' Christmas plays and having Christmas Day at home with them and count myself hugely fortunate.

    Royal Deeside railway

    By AndyB,

    Just added and album with photos of the Royal Deeside Railway (the preserved bit).
     
    http://www.deeside-railway.co.uk/index.php for more details of the railway.
     
    And.... http://www.royal-deeside.org.uk/RDattract/station.htm for a wee write up about the station at Ballater - next stop Balmoral!!
     
    Definitely worth anyone reading up about this railway which has seen everyone from Tsars of Russia to Kings & Queens of Europe using it.
     
    Interesting visitor centre at Ballater station which has a cameo of the arrival of Queen Victoria on the platform etc.
     
    http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=12135042 if anyone wants to see more pictures.
     
    The station cafe next door to the visitor centre is to be recommended to anyone planning a visit.

    Trying to get the 2 end baseboards made by Christmas and the track laid to complete the loop.
     
    Only a bit of progress today (cold outside and the prospect of building 2 baseboards wasn't overly appealing). So, just some measuring out and figuring out how the tracks will turn around to reach the (eventual) traverser fiddleyard at the back.
     

     
    The MDF square at the bottom of the photo is currently the piece of scrap from cutting out the board at the top. So, no quips p-lease about the tracks not fitting.
     
    Would have helped if I'd had a 2nd piece of MDF in stock!
     
    The kids' dominos show where the station platform will go, curving forward to the front of the layout and allowing the turnaround to be a little more compact.
     
    I'm planning on putting a canopy on the platform. This may have to be truncated so it doesn't span the baseboard join. I'll figure that out when I get to it - trying to make this layout one where progress doesn't get halted just because I don't have all the answers on Day 1.
     
    Whilst it was set up I thought I'd start seeing how effective some of the view blockers might be. Thanks to everyone who contributed to that thread a week or so ago. I'm thinking "office block" here:
     

     
    And maybe a derlict version of the Fenchurch Street signal box in front of the platform at the station end. For all those who voted for an East End boozer, there will be one, but most probably taking centre stage.
     
    The books running along the back of the viaduct are where the backscene will go. Most probably from the left-over bits of MDF from baseboard construction!
     
    Off to Focus tomorrow to get more MDF and stripwood! Enough just in case we get snowed in.

    Without going into endless detail I've purchased a Hornby Class 31 for the layout. The 31s were a familiar sight on my childhood commute, so along with my 37 something of a "must" for my layout.
     
    My local model shop was offering them at £68 which seemed to be a good price. Sadly the first one I took home succommed to a problem that apparently has dogged Hornby - the cab floor at one end cracked and sheared off. So, back to the shop with that example. The replacement broke in a different place - when I fitted a decoder the pillars within the bodyshell that you screw into shattered. Only 1 of the 4 pillars / brass inserts survived one disassembly/re-assembly. So, that one went back. Finally the 3rd example that the shop supplied was ok.
     
    The only residual issue to be sorted is to get the red LED directional lighting to work. To do this you need to take the model apart (hoping that it doesn't shatter), tease the copper tags out, and replace the bodyshell and screws. Do i really want to risk breaking the model after all the effort of getting a halfway decent example? Not quite yet.
     
    In spite of the problems encountered so far, it is a nice model. And it's going to look the part pulling parcels trains around Highworth.
     
    And scrolling back a few years to when RTR were a lot blander, if someone had said: "Hey, you CAN have a nicely detailed Class 31, but you might need to figure out how to fit the body to the chases", then many people might have thought this a reasonable proposition. After all we are modellers...
     
    Of course, alongside highly detailed models we also need and expect similar standards on reliability and robustness. And I think that Hornby has some way to go on this.

    Highworth

    By AndyB,

    This is my second layout in "00" since returning to the hobby. The first was a shunting plank which left little opportunity for sitting back and watching trains go "round and round".
     
    So, my wife, seeing the problem, suggested I fill the whole garage with a model railway to suit. "Highworth" is the result - and is very much a work in progress.
     
    Being in my mid-40s, BR Blue Era is my thing.
     
    The basic plan is a compressed oval of track - it looks like double track, but isn't. Off the oval a double track ascends, crosses a viaduct and terminates in a "Minories" station.
     
    At the time of writing I'm starting to see both the drawbacks and the opportunities. My current thinking is that the terminus could actually be a "through station", if the track was extended through the backscene and curved round into a fiddle yard. This would have to be removable (access to freezer needed, apparently).
     
    In the trackplan associated with this blog I've sketched an idea for extending a "Minories". Hope C.J. isn't spinning at the thought.
     
    The layout is DCC and operated at present with an entry level Bachmann system. I'm starting to think about alternative controllers.
     
    There is a range of stock from Bachmann, Hornby and Heljan. These include: Class 04, 08, 25, 27, 37 and a 108 dmu.
     
    Planning on adding more posts to this blog now that I've sussed out how to and keep anyone interested up to date.

    A while back the home made baseboards for my first attempt at building Roding Reach were looking less likely to deliver what I wanted - a sturdy and portable layout. Possibly with exhibition in mind.
     
    With input from SWMBO and other voices of reason on RMWeb I upgraded the baseboards with two kits from Model Railway Solutions.
     
    These kits were topped off with MDF and the original viaduct repositioned. I've now added a back scene and sector table. There's still two small pieces of woodwork to do that will join the turn around sections of track with the sector table. { Yep, and put a curve onto each end of the sector table! }
     
    Anyway, here's some photos of how it is coming together. Sorry no photos of trains etc quite yet. Hopefully there will be some time between now and Christmas to make some more progress.
     
    The observant among you will notice one flaw in my plan which means a slot will need to be cut in the back scene to allow the raised trackbed on the fiddle yard board to fold over compactly. Apart from that things have worked out well for this "daddy & daughter" project.

    Roding Reach - the demise

    By AndyB,

    Sadly mold has taken a grip on extensive parts of Roding Reach. The areas affected is primarily the baseboard top layer which was made of hardboard.
     
    The layout had been stored in the garage under my other layout and somehow a combination of damp and still air seem to have been the perfect environment to allow the mold to get hold.
     
    Tomorrow I'll be stripping the top baseboard layer, track and scenery off and treating the baseboard carcass with some kind of anti-fungal paint.
     
    There is some good news, however. For some time I'd been thinking that the layout was a series of compromises and maybe this will allow a new beginning with better design. One option is to put the two 6' baseboards end-to-end and build a traverser at each end. I've already had one offer to CNC rout the entire viaduct. Tempting as this would let me get back to where I was pdq.
     
    For now I'm at some kind of modelling cross roads. I have a scenic 00 layout which is really a steam-age quiet backwater. Roding Reach was the foil to this - a busy, urban 1970s affair. The question is, whether to continue in this vein, or to try a new challenge. Much to ponder!
     
    Anyway, here's a picture of the damage....
