Hi Scott, Cheers for that, I already have some more running in the can, but want to do some more work on the layout before putting it all together. Cheers again. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted June 27 Author Share Posted June 27 A small but significant change to the Warehouse area this morning. I decided I needed the spare siding to be about 3 inches longer to take the MOD Train that Ian, @Temeraire had given me, I can now also use it as a loading area. SO, As it was going to be. And now. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwr Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Hi Andy Found you again!!!. I was watching the old thread for a link to our new one but it didn't seem to arrive but accidentally stumbled on your latest video on You Tube so I've been catching up on where you are. I can see you are really excited about this build and I have to say what you've done so far in the space available is very impressive. Looking forward to each new update. I am sure there are many hours of shunting to be had on this. You don't even need a platform for your bubble car - just run it into the depot for refuelling!

Paul Hi Paul, Cheers, I cant add to my signature, as there are so many on there, Andy Y used to do it. Yes there is still progress and another Video and pics will be out soon. I did some Video the other day, but was coughing so much, it was lots of short takes with no commentary. Normal service will resume soon. Cheers for your comments, and I still DONT POSSESS a Bubble Car, (thank goodness). Andy. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted July 8 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 8 Not that I'm wishing to tell the bloke who's built more layouts than I've had Caviar de Esturion Ruso sarnies washed down with a mug of Chateau Lafite-Rothschild 2005, but, couldn't you lighten up on the wiring to the rail connections, apart from being easier to hide on a flat board it makes the soldered connection neater too?

Mike. Bon we monsieur, Yes your right of course, and normally I would have, but at the time I was low on thin wire and had plenty of thick stuff. Once I have gone around again the the hot iron and tidied up the soldering, and then weathered the rails, it wont be seen, (I hope) but its not a show piece, its just for home use and a few pics / Vids on here now and then. Your input is appreciated Mike, and has made me more determined to tidy it up soon. Cheers Bud. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted July 15 Author Share Posted July 15 Its time for an update. Over the last few weeks I have been busy with the wiring, 4 x 12 way terminal blocks connecting the 2 halves of the Layout to the control Panel, = 48 terminals = 96 screw connections and = 96 solder connections to the back of the Panel. PLUS I have fitted Bi Coloured LED for the Signals and a white for the Feather to the Fiddle Yard exit. Here is the final result, and more pics / film in the Video that will be up shortly. 9 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted July 15 Author Share Posted July 15 ITS GONE. No it hasn't = Kevin has taken away the Warehouse for modification. When he was here last I was saying about its width and the fact that the Track I really wanted as the Loading Bay line ended as a short stub due to the depth of the building = SEE PIC 1 RIGHT HAND TRACK. SO, Kevin suggested we / he cut it in half for low relief to overcome the issue. This means my building will only be 70mm deep instead of about 140 ish. He has now done this and I have given him half for his Layout. I'm colleting my half on Wednesday. In pic No1 above, the Track next to the platform is now slewed to the left, and the short stub on the right has now been extended to be the new Loading Bay line. Here are the 2 halves together my half on the left and Kevin's on the right pictured on Kevin's "Millway Dock" Layout. 8 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Paul, Yes indeed, and on Wednesday he will also treat me to a Breakfast at the local greasy spoon, 😅 I do the same when he drives down here. 👍. Looking forward to a good day out, IF it stops raining before then as it's an hours drive each way. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodenhead Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 I think the smaller your layouts go when space constrained the more interesting you make them, a bit like St Budoc 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had Bachmann announced their new 0 / 16.5 Welsh Quarry range 6 Months earlier, who knows what might have appeared in these pages. Haha.😅 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
