RMweb Premium acg5324 Posted June 20, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 20, 2022 A little bit of progress with the Engine Carrier. First of the tool boxes made and fitted. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium acg5324 Posted June 20, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 20, 2022 Plenty of things happening on the layout, I’ll get some photos taken tomorrow. Garden walls made, flock laid down, Addison Gardens ( North end fiddle yard entrance ) bridge now fitted. Bushes etc added along the back of the retaining walls at the south end of the station. Holes drilled to fit the Urban soundscape speaker and also an arc welding kit in the Olympia Motors building. Some ballasting to finish tomorrow along with a walkway to the North Main SB. Layout looks a tip at present as glue, paint, bags of Woodland Scenics stuff littering it. I’ll have a tidy up and a Hoover before photos! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium acg5324 Posted June 21, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 21, 2022 (edited) Some photos of the layout in the garage, mainly from angles you can’t normally see when it’s in its room. Looking north towards Hammersmith Rd and Olympia. The electricity sub station. Edited June 21, 2022 by acg5324 18 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium acg5324 Posted June 21, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 21, 2022 (edited) Addison Gardens bridge, this is now fixed down apart from the deck which needs finishing. Fresh ballast to surround the North Main signal box. Olympia Motors will gain a working arc welder and then it’s roof, prior to being fixed down.

RMweb Premium acg5324 Posted June 24, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 24, 2022 Feast and famine ….or rather famine and feast with n gauge currently. Lots of long awaited releases arrived at work including class 08s, class 37s, class 101s class 319/769s and some BR standard brake vans. I picked up my class 101 and happy to report it’s a power twin set so I can insert a centre car without having to alter a DTS chassis as it’s a DMS! Cars M53318 and M53328 for those that like to know. 8 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium acg5324 Posted June 26, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 26, 2022 Yesterday was a Yorkshire Area NGS meeting. I took various things to do with me….including ending the Zombie Apocalypse…….The layout now has people! I took the baseboard that has Charles House and Kensington High Street on it, plus all the buildings. The previous night I’d fitted some Chooch Enterprises cobble stone sheets, these are self adhesive, but they didn’t stick so these were refitted with good ‘ole Evostick. Footprints for more more buildings are cut out as well. Over 100 little people were glued down and they make a big improvement…….just need about 100 more on that one board! Pictures to follow as I left my phone at home! 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only do a couple of days at MBMS, which vary……but more often than not Wednesdays and Thursdays……I’m the one with the Southern accent! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet if you search long enough you will find the prototype for that somewhere.

RMweb Premium acg5324 Posted June 27, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 27, 2022 (edited) More progress getting the out of reach things done. The rest of the pavements and roads have been fitted, some gutter drains too. I managed to damage some fencing after leaning over it, so this has been removed and scrub will replace it. Not much worth photographing but I’ll get some more images on later. Edited June 27, 2022 by acg5324 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aahh well next time maybe. The Yorkshire Area Group usually meet on the second and fourth Saturdays each month, but often move to avoid bank-holidays (like August!). T-TRAK modules bought via Train-Trax can usually be collected from meetings by prior arrangement if you want to save on postage. Steven B. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium acg5324 Posted June 28, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 28, 2022 109 people turned up today…..shipped in from the IOW……plus some more trees from The Model Tree Shop. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium acg5324 Posted July 3, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) Quite a lot done on the layout scenery front this week. More people attached too. Found a broken tie bar on one of the fiddle yard points…..I’ll have to move the point motor over to the other side as it’s the hole the actuating rod fits into that has broken, very odd. A good start has been made on the gardens that back on to the Motorail terminal. Back gardens and the pavements have also been added to the north end of the layout.
