Andrew P Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 I made up a BADLY MADE Workbench this morning, just need to make some tools out of Soldered Wire later and fix it in properly. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 Evening all, well I've spent an hour or so adding some details around the Yard and in the Shed, I have added Sleepers, Bikes, Bodies, Barrels, Tools on the work bench made from Soldered wire, and a Clock on the wall, (although that's stopped). 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allegheny1600 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I was worried when you said "bodies", I thought you might be doing a 'murder' scene or something! Then I realised you meant living bodies, working on the layout, phew! My pulse came down. Nice detailing job. John. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though this is begining to come to life, but I'm a bit worried about the bloke with crosed legs, it does seem to be bent at a rather jaunty angle.

Andrew P Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 Cheers Jeff John, Bob and Tony, still more to do but I think the next job is to get the Air Brush out and weather the Shed and Road Bridge and tone down the Pits a little. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 I've just installed some lighting in the Engine Shed. Firstly I installed a Dapol N Gauge Coach lighting Bar with the Yellow LED's but it wasn't enough to light it properly so then installed a couple of Bulbs, it looks a lot better in real life than in the Photos. The stingy bits hanging down have now removed I used a plug and socket and in the pics the Shed isn't bedded down properly but will be once its been weathered. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 Very nice mate, the lights have made a big difference... Cheers George, in reality there no brighter than the Yard Lights, but being up close in the Pics they look really bright. I've added some more bits this morning such as Point Levers, Fire Buckets, some more bits inside the Shed and more clutter etc. Pics of all that later.

Andrew P Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 Just a small update with some pics from yesterday, I'm working on both Pencarne and West Shed this morning just doing little bits on each as I think of things. I've also dirtied the Pits as they were far to clean, (also noticed in the pics that the Head Code is coming off the Western) 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted October 17, 2015 Author Share Posted October 17, 2015 Morning all, I need some advice on Ground Signals please. A = Where they would be. B = Which way they would face. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted October 17, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) None, if the coaling, watering, ash disposal and petrol pumps are the other side of the bridge then any exit signals would be the other side of them. All movements around loco depots were co-ordinated by the depot staff and done under hand signals. All points would be hand operated. Like goods yards, once the engines were off the mainline they were contained in their own little railway where the signalman did not care what they did, unless they wanted to leave. Loco depots would normally only have one signal, the exit. More if there were more than one exit. Edited October 17, 2015 by Clive Mortimore Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gz3xzf Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Morning all, I need some advice on Ground Signals please. A = Where they would be. B = Which way they would face. Track Plan.png Cheers. Andrew To be honest I suspect that the only signal on this plan would be for departures, all the points in the shed area would be hand operated. You could either place a signal at A and have all points hand operated or possibly have a signal at B which would require the arrival/departure point to be controlled from the signalbox as well: - The B option would also need a ground signal in the arrival direction I would guess, to stop locos running through he point. I would expect the railway would go for option A, which would be the less complicated option. Hope that is helpful, only my opinion so it may get shot down by someone with more experience. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Brian, if I go for anything it will be a Ground Signal at A for departure, but it wont be a working one anyway.

Andrew P Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 Although West Shed will be at our Clubs Open Weekend on 12th 13th December I haven't decided what I'm running yet, I have the choice of BR / SR Steam, BR / WR Trasission, or BR Blue with Sound. I may also have a couple of Show invites in the offing for 2016. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
