    Limited as I am for space and being confined to the garage, shed and my Railway Parlour (part of the garage) activity in the build of The RSR has been very slow during the winter. But now that there have been some tentative flashes of more benign spring weather my activity has again remerged from it’s hibernation. Any similarity to a dormouse is purely coincidental.
    Over the dark and cold months I have not been idle but have been doing much planning and design. So it was that after obtaining some alignment dowels and drilled T Nuts I was ready to start building the boards for the storage yard of the The RSR.
    Having built the four end curves a while back the new boards are intended to fit between the two at back. Easy in principal but not so easy in practice as it is necessary for the alignment dowels to, well, align, new and old. When I came to measure and apply the steel jig I had used for the curve boards something was not right. I couldn’t use the jig. Clearly when making the curves I had used it in a particular way that suited them but couldn’t be used for the new boards. Result I couldn’t use the existing alignment dowels in the curve boards and would need to use different ones for the new boards. This entailed making a new end infill for the curved boards which ahs actually improved the ends.
    Precision measuring was needed and to cut a long story short the first new board seems to align with the curve board nicely. The ends of each board were drilled with their corresponding end from the next board, and, because I hope the storage boards can be erected in 2, 3 and 4 board lengths, with the last board. Whether I have been sufficiently precise will become apparent shortly.
    All boards also have holes ready drilled for fixing protective end covers to enable transport and holes for cable runs.

    There are three other holes needed were in the two new boards at the extremity these are to accommodate the alignment dowel and hinge fixings which align curved boards when these are used in circular mode.
    More soon.

    <p>Well progress is now relentless. All 4 tram lines running and both NG lines too. Buildings placed to see what it starts look like.</p>

    <p>There we were driving along the country lane between Wighton and Walsingham in North Norfolk. A bright February afternoon. A partridge runs along the road in front of us before hopping into the verge. And lying in the road a short distance further on a bird has been hit by a vehicle</p>
    <p>“That looked like an owl” says Dawn; and a look in the rear view finder confirms this.</p>
    <p>“Looked pretty recent” I stop the car, “think I’ll check it’</p>
    <p>I reverse down the road, stopping to let cars pass in each direction, the one heading towards the owl bothers me. Would it run it over? Reverse a bit more and stop, walking the remaining 50 yards or so. Another car heads towards the owl, sees what I’m doing to and gives the bird a wide birth.</p>
    <p>I reach the owl. It looks ‘whole.’ Blood around it’s beak, one wing stretched out. I grasp the body, it is warm and I feel movement. It’s still alive!. Carefully, I fold the wing against it’s body and gently hold the bird as I return to the car.</p>
    <p>Wrapping it a car rug, to keep it warm, I lay the bird in the boot and we set off again towards Fakenham in the hope of finding a vet. Before asking in a Fakenham shop I check the owl. Alas, it is cold and very still. I deduce that it has died. We set off for home.</p>
    <p>At home, I prepare a cardboard box to put the owl in. My plan; to contact an appropriate ‘raptor’ body the next day. I unfold the blanket but the owl grasps it in it’s talons and I see it breathing. It’s alive!</p>
    <p>A telephone call to the local vets and I am told to take it in and they’ll check it over, keep it over night if ok and contact a raptor sanctuary the next day.</p>
    <p>We arrive at the Vet’s surgery, I open the boot and……………..there sits the owl with his back to the boot lid. I quickly secure it, expecting a hefty peck but he’s still pretty subdued. We hand it over the vet’s nurse…….and that’s that.</p>
    <p>I’ll post an update when I find out what the outcome is.</p>
    <p>What a wonderful bird – my favourite as it happens and a privilege to have given it a chance. Hopefully, it will make a full recovery and soon be hunting across the fields of Norfolk – like the other THREE Barn Owls we saw on the same journey today.</p>
    <p> </p>

    More on Bohemian Saxony

    By RichardS,

    <p>Since I last wrote about Bohemian Saxony much has happened although to look at the layout you would be hard pressed to know that much had changed.</p>
    <p>In the early Autumn the layout was moved lock stock and barrel from the premises where construction had been taking place to my garage. Not so bad as it sounds. By moving, the team building it immediately had more frequent access and virtually all the necessary tools and materials to hand. All factors lacking at the previous location.</p>
    <p>Inspection of the layout in the new premises showed several areas where to be frank the quality of the build was not of a sufficient standard. Chief amongst these was the wiring, which having been installed in far from ideal and difficult circumstances was rather untidy and hard to follow.</p>
    <p>To cut a long story short, he whole layout has been completely rewired and new temporary switchboards constructed. Common return wiring has been installed with separate returns for the tram lines on the lower level and the HOe system. This should mean that some of the layout remains usable even if a fault develops on another part.</p>
    <p>Consideration was given to the way the owner will operate the various lines and more flexibility has been built in. The controls have been split up. Whereas there were two Gaugemaster Model Q 4 track controllers, there is now only one but this is supplemented with a single controller in a remote operating position which will be used for control of two narrow gauge termini when switched in. Additionally, there will be a twin controller for the upper tram lines which will be an alternative to the Heathcote Automatic Block Working. (ABW)</p>
    <p>Having proved the ABW on a test installation the only modification we shall make will be to wire small digital voltmeter to the outputs to each control module. We found using a multi-meter the best way to assess performance of the adjustment POTs on each board in test but this is impractical and permanent readouts will be more user friendly.</p>
    <p>Turning form the electrics, there have been changes to made to the track layout for the Narrow Gauge to avoid the need for it to regularly cross the main tram running lines. These changes also feature the installation of loops rather than dead end sidings meaning less need to propel the little wagons rather than tow them which we feel will improve security of operation.</p>
    <p>The Tillig LUNA track which is being used in the town square was something we were never happy with. However, one of our number is a keen continental HO modeller and spent many happy hours adjusting and relaying this track to great affect. He obviously has more of a feel for the continental elements that the rest of us! And despite my earlier negative views even I have to admit it now looks ‘ok.’</p>
    <p>Further work has included, the addition of more alignment bolts using ‘T’ Nuts and several of the cross board rail joins have been re-laid to improve alignment.</p>
    <p>The whole things feels a lot ‘tighter’ now.</p>
    <p>And its all been documented too!</p>
    <p>Here’s a couple of pictures showing improvements.</p>
    <p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-689" src="https://thersr.files.wordpress.com/2016/01/wp_20160104_14_50_54_pro.jpg?w=700"alt="WP_20160104_14_50_54_Pro" /></p>
    <p>A couple of explanations. This board is that with both the main narrow gauge terminus and yards, plus the tram depot. It has 10 points and 14 feeds to sections. The horizontal lines of terminal blocks are where the control panel for the narrow gauge and tram shed will be connected in. The blocks on the left side are for the power feeds from the main transformers for the local switch panel, common return buses and feed jumpers where perhaps a sections crosses the board. The new wiring is not perfect but a whole lot better than it was originally.</p>
    <p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-688" src="https://thersr.files.wordpress.com/2016/01/wp_20151222_17_39_04_pro.jpg?w=700"alt="WP_20151222_17_39_04_Pro" /></p>
    <p>The re-laid LUNA track, it just looks better – the spacers are where the surfacing panels clip into. We have also put a layer of cork floor tiles on this board to eradicate some awkward surface levels which would have complicated paving etc.</p>
    <p>With the re-wiring of the lower tram lines and the narrow gauge all but complete we will be able test this and then move onto the ABW installation.</p>
    <p>Thanks for reading. Please feel free to ask any questions or make any observations.</p>

    <p>It’s been a while since I updated TheRSR with news of progress on Bohemian Saxony. That, you will recall is the continental tram layout I am helping to build for a chap in Hertfordshire.</p>
    <p>The last few weeks have seen some considerable advances with the landscape and the infrastructure. Although surface dressing has yet to take place we have coloured the ‘under-wear’ – plaster etc. which starts to bring the model to life.</p>
    <p>We have to start addressing the catenary and block working next. Here’s some pics.<a href="https://thersr.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/wp_20150617_15_48_54_pro.jpg"><imgclass="alignnone size-medium wp-image-609" src="https://thersr.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/wp_20150617_15_48_54_pro.jpg?w=300&h=169" alt="WP_20150617_15_48_54_Pro" width="300" height="169" /></a>.<a href="https://thersr.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/wp_20150617_15_48_39_pro.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-608" src="https://thersr.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/wp_20150617_15_48_39_pro.jpg?w=300&h=169" alt="WP_20150617_15_48_39_Pro" width="300" height="169" /></a> <a href="https://thersr.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/wp_20150620_14_15_08_pro.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-612" src="https://thersr.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/wp_20150620_14_15_08_pro.jpg?w=300&h=169" alt="WP_20150620_14_15_08_Pro" width="300" height="169" /></a> <a href="https://thersr.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/wp_20150620_14_15_04_pro.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-611" src="https://thersr.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/wp_20150620_14_15_04_pro.jpg?w=300&h=169" alt="WP_20150620_14_15_04_Pro" width="300" height="169" /></a></p><br /> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gocomments/thersr.wordpress.com/606/"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/comments/thersr.wordpress.com/606/" /></a> <img alt="" border="0" src="https://pixel.wp.com/b.gif?host=thersr.wordpress.com&blog=30226721&post=606&subd=thersr&ref=&feed=1" width="1" height="1" />

    Linked to RMweb

    By RichardS,

    <p>After 4 days of trying, at last TheRSR is linked to RMweb.</p>
    <p>Set up in WordPress.com, the link just wouldn’t work, whatever I tried, new themes, changes to various elements, nothing.</p>
    <p>Eventually, with the help of a Happiness Engineer at WordPress the link has been established by running it through ‘Feedburner’ from Google.</p>
    <p>I haven’t got a clue how it all works but it seems to.</p>

    Baseboard mania!

    By RichardS,

    Here are the four boards I have constructed for the storage section of TheRSR. Each is 1220mm long and 660mm wide. Overall height is 100mm. Sides and top are 6mm ply and ends 12mm. These will be strengthened and braced. Each end has alignment dowels and T nuts for bolt fixings and the whole can be made as a three board or four board structure.
    My precision drilling mentioned in an earlier post was not quite precision enough in a couple of places and I had to modify the locations of some fixings.
    I’m very pleased with result. Although it has turned out quite long. Next test is to fit the curved ends to this. A dry run looks good.

    And then legs!
    The trestles the boards are resting on some of those sold form time to time by Aldi. Adjustable height. Good value too.

    Legs!

    By RichardS,

    I visited the London Festival of Model Railways held at the Alexandra Palace on Sunday 30th March and among the many fine layouts on show one in particular took my fancy. This was Sandford and Banwell, an oval Great Western line featuring a junction and modelled in P4. See these links for some pictures of the layout
    https://www.flickr.com/photos/richardjslipper/sets/72157651653968411/ http://www.scalefour.org/scaleforum/2014/sandfordandbanwell/
    One aspect of this model was the use of plastic drainpipes for the supporting legs and to support the fascia for the over-layout lighting. Light in weight the builders had used solvent weld waste pipes with cross struts. The tops of the legs were pushed into wood blocks and the bottom had adjustable feet held in blanking plugs. All very neat. Over on RMweb others have also commented favourably on the arrangement. Being at a critical juncture in the baseboard build for TheRSR, where I need to consider legs my encounter with the drainpipes on S&B was rather timely. Thus I have been investigating the products and materials. But it ‘ain’t so simple as it first appears.
    Most builders/plumbers merchants sell solvent weld waste pipes in a variety of sizes, 32mm and 40mm being the most common, with 50mm also available. I decided to trial the 40mm pipe and duly arrived at Wickes with a mental list of the parts I needed. Notwithstanding the fact that they had very poor stocks of the fittings I discovered that the 40mm pipe they advertised was actually marked by the manufacturer as 43mm. To cut a long story short 40mm is the inside diameter and 43mm (nominal) is the outside diameter. In fact it’s all a bit approximate but provided a single product range is used this shouldn’t be a problem.
    But a problem does arise when boring a hole in a block of wood for the leg to sit inside. It needs to be snug, not to tight but clearly not loose. While 40mm flat wood bits and 40mm hole cutters are reasonably easily obtained, 43mm ones are less common and may need to be sourced on line. Of course the 32mm inside diameter pipe will have an overall diameter of between 35 and 36mm both sizes also being less common. The answer to the challenge would seem to be an adjustable bit. Screwfix do one which allows holes between 22mm and 76mm to be made.
    The cost of the pipes for the legs is probably less than new wood would cost, although the cost of a special bit does increase the spend. The weight saving would be considerable.

    The model railway I am making is to a scale of 4mm and uses track to a gauge of 16.5mm (OO). There are two parts to the model 'the scenic stage' and the storage area (fiddle-yard).
     
    Portable, the whole comprises 9 boards measuring 1000mm x 600mm; the overall dimensions being 3000 by 1800. This just fits into my 'Railway Parlour' which is a section of my garage that I have fitted out.
     
    The track layout on the scenic stage is deliberately simple. A single circuit with a single branch comprising a run round loop and a single siding. Here I have used ExactoscaleFast-Track and Peco code 75 point-work. The 4 'on stage points' have been cleaned up but I have not re-spaced the sleepers.
     
    However, the track layout in the storage area is more complex. Peco code 75 track and point-work has been used throughout. The yard comprises 4 loops in the main circuit and the branch has a two pairs of looped sidings. There is also a connection between the branch and the circuit which has a loop as well. In all there are 10 roads in the storage area.
     
    As Nanslor is a new build I have opted to use DCC. Being quite a simple layout DCC will provide a quite pleasant operational environment.
     
    Presently the main circuit and the 4 storage roads are wired in. I am testing using a Bachmann EZ CommandController which I find works very well although there is very limited control over the decoders. In due course I will probably change to a more comprehensive system. But the EZ is fine for the time being.
     
    I will expand on the track and DCC wiring methods I have employed in future posts. My next tasks are to complete the track laying and complete the wiring of the power bus and droppers to fully power up all the boards and lines.
     








     




     
    I've included a couple of pictures here. The first shows the model railway I built in 1996. I exhibited Wiveton on the exhibition circuit for a about 4 years. It was sold on a few years ago The second and third pictures show the early stages of Nanslor.

    The trams on Bohemian Saxony primarily run through an urban environment comprising an ‘older’ town, a more modern area and an industrial zone. But around the edges we need some scenery.
    The future owner’s design has crammed so much into the available space that the scenic elements are not great. What scenery we can fit in is a bit ‘vertical’ – no room for rolling hills. This presents a problem in that the owner has an aversion to rocks. Careful shaping has minimised the rocks but there will be some rocks it cannot be avoided.
    So we have made progress with the scenery, installed a cable car (which has been removed for safe keeping) and last week agreed the final position of the various buildings. This is important so that we can make the ground works some of these will be placed upon.

    Meanwhile it has been decided to put block working on the upper tram circuits so that the owner can accommodate more trams on the layout. More on that next time.

    Another friend of our group is building his first model railway and opted for American HO. He is not a purist and just wants a nice layout. He is using a lot of Woodland Scenics products. I have been helping him with ideas and showing him some techniques but he is proving to be a good modeller. This picture of his ‘tunnel’ – a long story – and the lake area shows Earth dyes being used to colour rocks.

    Back to Bohemia

    By RichardS,

    There has been much progress on Bohemian Saxony since the new year and the layout is really coming together at long last. Here’s some pictures of various bits.

    A Little Diversion

    By RichardS,

    A friend of a colleague is into 009 but has an unsteady hand. He had seen an article in Railway Modeller which described the conversion of a Bachmann ‘N’ gauge American shunter into a freelance narrow gauge loco. Could I help? Well yes and the following pictures show my first ever conversion project. Not a medal winner but I’m quite pleased with it and I hope the new owner will be too.

    Newcombe Road

    By RichardS,

    Updates to TheRSR come all at once. I don’t apologise! :-)
    Meanwhile, work has also been taking place helping Mr W build a new railway in an outbuilding at his new home in South Norfolk.
    Mr W is a good modeller and over the years has constructed and painted white metal kits of various LNWR, L&Y and Midland locomotives from the 1920s – sort of pre-grouping/early grouping cross over period. Not content with locos are his kit built coaching stock and wagons. Oh and all fitted with three link couplings.
    But he’d never built a railway and needed some help with track laying and so forth. The building was about 20 feet by 11 and a joiner who had been working on MR W’s home had constructed baseboards around the space about a yard to a metre wide.
    Now these baseboards are not going anywhere – 3/4 MDF topped with sundela. The first job was to fix the latter to the former – it’s a big area and took almost a morning to glue and screw down. The other structural necessity was a lifting flap where the door is. The joiner while leaving a board to fit had not ‘fitted’ it.
    With the need for a minimum radius of 36 inches to accommodate the three links, and Mr W getting withdrawal symptoms from not being able to run his trains we were able to get him set up before Christmas 2014 with a prototype layout comprising 2 circuits and a 10 road storage area..

    Yes that is a Union Pacific ‘Big Boy’ facing a Heljan Garrett, unlikely but fun.

    It’s been a while since I gave a progress report on the European tramway which I am helping to build. There has been progress but it has been in fits and starts. Partly due to supply chain problems for materials and also the future owner changing his mind requiring some rework,
    Pictures better than words I feel. Captions if relevant.

    009 Loco build.

    By RichardS,

    Another distraction from my main modelling activities. And a first for me – I’ve never done anything like this before.
    A customer presented an N gauge Bachmann ‘Plymouth’ diesel shunter, a sheet of plasticard, and extracts from an article which had appeared in Railway Modeller a year or so back. The author of the article had built a new narrow gauge style body to fit the N gauge chassis and this customer wanted to do the same ….only he was having trouble cutting the plasticard straight.
    The article in RM was helpful but not exhaustive, the parts needed for the cab were drawn out with dimensions but were not to scale. And so a degree of modelling nous was needed.
    Cutting a long story short and some plasticard nearly straight I ended up with, in my opinion at least, a passable representation of a narrow gauge diesel. Painting next – it’s to be maroon apparently.

    The Best Laid Plans

    By RichardS,

    The track plan for The Nanslor Railway as mentioned before is simple. But it combines a continuous run and the opportunity for shunting if desired. In fact both the stage and storage sections allow shunting and run round facilities.
     
    This picture of the track plan also shows the baseboards.
     
    This plan was prepared using AnyRail. This software package allows a free trial version to be used but with a limitation of 50 items on the plan. For simple sketch plans this is an ideal app.



     
     
    In due course I shall add two more sidings to the storage area. The single siding, top right is intended to be the DCC programming track. But the germ of an idea is forming that it could also link into a further set of storage sidings. I feel that a variety of trains is important to keep the operators amused and viewers guessing. In fact another extended yard on the other side would add considerable operational interest. It's called project creep!
     
    I believe that Signals are one of the most essential of railway related items on a model. Wiveton had signals but these were non operational. On TNR there will be signals and it is my intention that they should function. To plan signalling again there is a very useful piece of free software from Modratec, an Australian company who produce interlocking lever frames and their own WIT operating system.
     
    This picture is from a scan of the output from SigScribe 4, Modratec's software. It shows the draft signalling plan together with the lever frame and also images of the various signals. (On screen it is in colour of course.)
     




     
     
     
    Now whether, all this will come to fruition will depend upon two things. Money, as usual, and my inherent skills! And of course inevitably the actual signals etc. will change (sic) but as long it looks believable who is going to argue?
     
    I have not shown the storage roads in the SigScribe plans. In my vision I have some form of signalling from the operator 'out front' to the operator 'out back' alternatively some form of computer programme might be employed.
     
    Incidentally, I always find fiddle-yards get quite a lot of interest at exhibitions so TNR will eventually have scenic storage roads and who knows even signals. But that has to be Phase 2.
     
    And lastly in this post I have once again to disclaim any connection to AnyRail or Modratec.
     
    Jobs this weekend include: adding droppers from the track to the power bus.
