Andrew P Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 Hi Andy, Looks like you finally have it all sorted, It looks great now get some sleep. lol Cheers Peter. Morning Peter, Yes thanks, last night was the best sleep I've had for ages. Probably also due to the fact that I was in the Shed most of the day cutting wood and SCREWING, (ohhh Missis) so that helped. Now with room for a bigger Fiddle Yard for Bristol Victoria I can get back on with that project next week. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Ray H Posted January 15, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 15, 2017 Andy T'is looking good on both layout fronts. I don't wish to put a damper on things but are you able to reach the three sidings at the far end of the shed to couple/uncouple? 3 links can be a beggar sometimes.

alant Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Pleased to hear you have settled on something now. Looking forward to the rest of the build. I am still at the back of a fag packet/envelope stage for my next build. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morning Ray, Thanks for your concerns mate, it is a bit of a stretch, but is doable, I wont need to reach right into the Corner as the coupling will be done just past the Points.

Andrew P Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 So lets start a new Page with THE FINAL PLAN Its only taken 27 pages for goodness sake. Did I just say that? Well you have it in writing, NO more Larry's for me Guys, it's done. Final Plan 1 001.JPG Final Plan 1 002.JPG Final Plan 1 003.JPG Final Plan 1 004.JPG Final Plan 1 005.JPG Final Plan 1 006.JPG Final Plan 1 007.JPG THE PLANK.png Oh dear,,,,,oh deary deary me. I've turned up like a bad penny to butt in again. Keep it all freight Andy, no station, possibly low relief warehousing, parcels, container freight(the old type), presflow for concrete, etc. Make the base boards modular so that the fiddle yard and main board can be butted together scenic wise and track wise without the plank for off site display or with the plank for home use. O.K. Mick, You are a bad penny, and after making the Platforms this morning, it all looked wrong somehow, no real reason, but just didn't jell once there was a Platform there, it didn't have room for a Goods Shed / Provender Store, a Loading Dock or any Goods Facilities considering it was supposed to be a Goods Yard in use. So ignore THE FINAL PLAN, because there is a NEW FINAL PLAN, all will be revealed later once I take some pics. Thanks Mick. Really it's just an excuse so that I don't have to buy one of those wretched GREEN THINGS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll have to acquire one of the DLOS shunters poles Andy - they're extendable a little! See the O gauge Auto couplers thread, but ideal for coupling and uncoupling three links in 4mm and 7mm. As for the final final plan ... I always thought there would be a sequel ... just hoping it's not the Christmas special as they're never as good as the main series!!!!

Really it's just an excuse so that I don't have to buy one of those wretched GREEN THINGS. You seem put out that I suggested that. To me it is just another boxy diseasel. I can remember when I was travelling regularly to Paddington the up train in the morning was usually loco hauled but often the train home would be a DMU. At first I was rather against the DMU as it was a rattly thing but after a bit I realised it did give quite good view especially if I could grab a seat at the front and see out through the cab. I would still have preferred a steam loco and coaches but the DMU did have its points. Don 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was Modelling German HO there was one available in Red, needless to say, I never bought one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
