A layout is never complete so it goes, well I've decided to change mine midway, if midway is ever achievable ha! Decided for better running purposes from upper to lower to introduce a 2nd connection in the opposite way so can now have running without reversal. The upper through station has now moved...

Hi all,

Just wondering is there a curved point available somewhere in between settrack and Peco curved SL87 in code 100?

First is too sharp in 2nd radius, other is not sharp enough!

Thanks

More lights, this time taller yard lights, a couple of security ones, one fitted to the Bachmann fuel point and finally another street light. Got a buffer stop done too, amazing how good they affect the scene. Definitely recommend them to other modellers. Happy New Year! https://i.postimg.cc/xk0hs8T...

Think I've got the bug now, gone from strictly no lights to this after receiving a delivery from Kytes Lights. Pain though due to the thin wiring, but got there in the end! https://i.postimg.cc/LhNPZcXV/20241208-201333.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/w36JMq6v/20241208-201341.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/XB7yz8...

First of all thanks for the kind words since my last post. Lovely to read. More lights, now worked how to get them hooked up to my Gaugemaster controller so rewired a few bits here and there. Got some basic interiors done for the low level station with accompanying bridge. Recent selling of my old L...

First time dabbling with lights, pleased with the outcome. Justifies the detail I've put inside the bespoke depot I've made! https://i.postimg.cc/svJWDz06/20240902-210446.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/N26HXvG0/20240902-210507.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/vcy9sTXx/20240902-210533.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/K4BL...

Hi all, haven't updated, but I've been busy as you can see! Last of the track finally (but temporarily laid), just awaiting a delivery of additional dropper wiring before fully screwing everything down. Bit of fettling to do on wood uprights, shaving an mm off or 2 to get as level as I can. It's gre...

Haven't posted for a while, thought I'd show a few updates of Diesel Depot from its origins to nearly complete https://i.postimg.cc/CZRtrYcQ/20230116-200137.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/H89P8LLV/20230206-173839.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/LgpbsP2c/20230402-163109.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/w1vb3gYj/20230427-...

Hi all, Was looking forward to attending the Model Rail event held at Jesmond Manor school in Newcastle, but due to ongoing issues with the roof this was cancelled. Does anyone know if this is to be rearranged? This is the only event these days up here of any size, and a shame what happened consider...

Thanks for the replies.

Just using the masts for effect definitelynot doing the contact wires too!

Going to mount the mast bases on small magnets so when my running session is diesel only I can simply take them off.

Thanks

David
