My micro layout is intended to have two levels. The upper level will allow a single carriage and tank engine emerge from behind a back scene to service a platform and then return to where it started. This could be automated so that the service runs while shunting takes place in the yard below. I […] The post Designing the upper level appeared first on Rede Valley Railway.

Recently I wrote about the idea of hiding an MP3 player within a building to supply a micro layout with sound. While technically this is a great solution it does raise one very obvious question. Where do I actually get the sound effects from? Fortunately I think there is quite an easy solution to this. […] Source

One of my initial objectives for my micro layout was to incorporate sound. The intention is to operate with small tank engines and this gives the issue of very little room to install DCC sound decoders in the loco. My initial idea was to install a speaker somewhere under the layout and connect it up […] Source

Yes, Westfalia is a source, but is nowhere near as reasonably priced as crimpterminals.co.uk; I've searched ebay for ferrules on a few occasions, but again never quite found a bargain.

What is a bootlace ferrule? Answer, it’s a very convenient fitting to attach to the end of a wire that will then fit very snugly into a screw terminal. The DCC world is full of equipment that is supplied with rows of screw terminals. I find that connecting bare wire into these a very hit […] Source

More and more downloadable building kits are becoming available and there are now several manufacturers supplying these items. Some of the producers are quite well known, but I’ve been a fan of some of the items produced by a lesser known supplier, modelrailwayscenery.com, for some time. I particularly like the ranges of signs and some […] Source

Paul A. Lunn has penned an excellent article on model railway design in this month’s Model Rail (November 2013) entitled “Breaking the Mould”. He is challenging the basic exhibition concept of an oval layout that is scenic on the front boards and fiddle yard at the back with the operators in the middle. Paul’s idea […] Source

The 300 inch challenge layout is going to exploit DCC as much as possible, so electrifying the turnouts is an important job. I’m using SEEP point motors, though I was tempted to experiment for the first time with something more sophisticated. SEEP produce 3 slight variations of point motor: PM1 – Non Latching with built […] Source

Heard the banana splits played twice on the Radio in the last couple of weeks. Bet we won't hear any One Direction in 30 years time

Great, and now I end up replying to a 4 year old post by accident. Thought I was on the last page of the thread! It's been a long day, lol

Nice to know I'm not the only one that does stuff like that

Day 1 the decision is taken to build a new layout
greslet commented on Midland Lad's blog entry in Ingleside - Midland Lad's first serious layout from day 1
I like your ideas, and I'm looking forward to following the progress. I too am building an inglenook right now, and I'm already envious of that professionally made baseboard. I was looking at these boards at railex Ne on bank holiday weekend and am very tempted to buy for my next project. Happy modelling Kevin Www.railwayblog.kevinappleby.co.uk -
Last night Bassetlaw (North Notts) Railway Society had their annual outing to Roy Jackson’s Home t0 see the progress on Roy’s Retford layout. I must say. on behalf of my fellow club members, it was a very enjoyable trip. This layout simply gets better and better. Roy Jackson was in great form to entertain us [...] Source
