Waverley West Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 A 56 trundles by on an MGR train, followed shortly after by a Peak on a NE/SW service... Dave 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waverley West Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Apologies for the pretty poor quality of this one due to poor lighting and lack of depth of field (I must see if I can do something about that with my videos), but I thought I might as well post it anyway. The 56 passes through Princes St. Gardens as a 4-car 101 heads for Kirkcaldy... 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waverley West Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Hi folks, Just thought I'd post some views from the halcyon days of last summer which I don't think I've posted before... The sun catches the side of 37418 as it enters The Mound Tunnel on a Speedlink working... 27034 and 20226 briefly stand side-by-side... ...as 26031 heads for Kirkcaldy... 40142 leaves for Aberdeen as 27105 runs through the station with a light Speedlink working... ....as an unusual visitor in the shape of a Class 128 DPU arrives from Carstairs... Hope to post some pics of the new white/blue 101 soon. The resident 08 has now entered the works for renumbering to a Haymarket 08 too.

Grimleygrid Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 And And a Very Happy New Year to you too, Mr Grimleygrid, Sir. The yard lamps are made by Express Models: http://www.expressmodels.co.uk/acatalog/WORKING_YARD_TOWER.html I need at least one more I think. Highly recommended. Buildings, what buildings? They're finished. Can't you see? Really, how insulting. Honestly, some people. Soon, Alex, soon. Honest. Cheers Dave Thanks Dave, the yard lamps look the business. Apologies if I insulted you, please accept my sincere apologies! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waverley West Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 Thanks Dave, the yard lamps look the business. Apologies if I insulted you, please accept my sincere apologies! Absolutely no offence taken whatsoever, Alex. I was only joking. Sorry if that didn't come across in black and white on the screen! The impersonal screen isn't always the best medium for messing about! Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

virginhst539 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 loving the layout. had to double take a few times reading the forum think you had just uploaded a pic of the real Waverley. just a quick question regarding the ECoS when you set the route can the signals be set to clear once the route as been selected automatically or do they have to be controlled manually by clicking the icon?

Cheers. I've set up the routes to include the signals (including the theatres and feathers). They clear once the points have been set. When setting a route with the ECoS, the accessories are set in the order in which you set them when you created the route. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwordsmith Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Just watched the vids Dave, far too realistic! - still can't make my mind up about sound, but I can see how you can have many happy hours of watching trains go by! Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Thanks Peter. If you did go for, say, the ECoS to control your points etc, you could always incorporate a changeover switch to enable you to switch between DC and DCC control of the track at any time. You could then just build up a DCC fleet as you feel like it. There's no doubt that sound is very subjective and I think it probably works better for diesels than for steam for some reason but I could never go back to a layout without sound now. It just wouldn't seem right. Trains are noisy things! Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
virginhst539 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 thanks for the quick reply. will need to read the points decoder booklet and the bit about routes. that and wire the points buy motors and decoders, build the rest of the layout but its all on the list. as for the sound i fully agree i don't think i could ever go back to running my deltic and 37s with out sound as its far to much fun to open them up on heavy trains. even better is you change the CVs to simulate said heavy train JT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
