Andrew P Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 Back to Railway Modelling and today has been a very good day in TOPS. Firstly I ripped out the old / new unused Oil Depot, and re looked at that corner. some nice ideas came boggoling along, one is a short Engineers Siding. The end board had to be re built, and the Bridge over the Stream has been relocated in order to include more land behind for the old Warehouse I got from George, these are now located along the end facing the door, so that now they don't show as Low relief, as your looking at them head on. One will have a Loading Dock as the one did in the original plan at the end of the Field / Embankment. Some new Points etc will be ordered tomorrow and so I should progress onto the Dore End boards by the weekend all being well. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted November 22, 2018 Author Share Posted November 22, 2018 Today so far, I've laid the Track and wired in the River Board, there is the same at the other end. Laid the Engineers Siding. I had to modify and bend the Peco Point in order to get a good transmission across the river this time as previously the was no Point at this location. Next offering up the Factories. Then testing time. And the current state of Dore End. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No room, but nice all the same. And so back to reality and a little more done this morning. Went over the S&C on a special hauled by a 45. It was snowing heavily everywhere Whiteoute. It had stopped when we halted at GArdsdale but was rather cold to put it mildly. However Blea Moor tunnel with a 45 working hard was most impressive. Window open couldn't see a thing but the roar of the 45 was terrific. Don 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.C.M Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Hi Andy, Hope you are well. I am glad to see you having another go at putting the curve in, I hope you can get the loco's round without the buffer lock you had before. Be nice if a class 37 could appear again. Cheers Peter. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better go and buy some Kendal mint cake if the weather turns out like it did last year. Yes Clive, Snowed off on the Sunday, I couldn't even get out of my drive, and that is almost flat. Last year I was doing a weathering Demo, this year I'm doing nothing at the moment, so it just shows how in 12 Months your life can be turned around. Hopefully by Easter I'll feel more like getting back to normal and committing to two full days up there. YES bring some Kendal cake mate, haha.
