Beresford Junction Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 looks like the new bridge could be a well needed addition to the layout just to break it up a bit. Thanks - I've always planned / fancied a bridge there to give height and interest - and I've always loved the different levels you have on Glebe Road Junction.

Beresford Junction Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 A quick shot of the discs applied - please tell me if I've got them in the wrong place / upside down etc. Oh and that bloke with his hands in his pockets seems to have returned from his holidays. Off to sunny Peterborough for the day now..... Phil 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
'CHARD Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Hi, the whites are fine, but as can then be deduced - the closed yellows must be upside down! Great ballast shoulder and authorised walking route by the way. Just how I remember many locations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beresford Junction Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 Thanks for the advice on the upside down yellow ones - the reason I did them like this is because some of the photos I checked out had them like that. For example here are a couple of 20046: This one has the discs folded up http://www.flickr.com/photos/16819691@N08/7395553906/in/photolist-cgw9w7-amAmA5-buHvhs-dRaTMx-82SnUk-9YVunY-fAxWqM-aEztnA-dZTDCu-77g6sK-aEvCEv-7PPpce-9LXj8A-eAVvFT-fj3zT5-fiR5Y6-fj3E59-fjbCtu-dy4JVw-dKGDb2-dKGesv-dKN7AQ-dKMJ5W-adzVKy-b13Mex-bczh8g-ebydH3-7LCrhX-cZVUkJ-bHCgQr-abY1ZY-5r8k7m-99uRsQ-4NsF2s-9MW8Yk-6AZmbr-6aNTtU-BL6jV-58JStx-BL5W6-BJBbk-BL5Zy-3xaHQ-BL6hY-BL6mN-BJBdf-BJBci-BL5US-BJBe7-BJBat-BL3sy And this one with them folded down http://www.flickr.com/photos/60590721@N04/6140243896/in/photolist-amAmA5-buHvhs-dRaTMx-82SnUk-9YVunY-fAxWqM-aEztnA-dZTDCu-77g6sK-aEvCEv-7PPpce-9LXj8A-eAVvFT-fj3zT5-fiR5Y6-fj3E59-fjbCtu-dy4JVw-dKGDb2-dKGesv-dKN7AQ-dKMJ5W-adzVKy-b13Mex-bczh8g-ebydH3-7LCrhX-cZVUkJ-bHCgQr-abY1ZY-5r8k7m-99uRsQ-4NsF2s-9MW8Yk-6AZmbr-6aNTtU-BL6jV-58JStx-BL5W6-BJBbk-BL5Zy-BL6hY-BL6mN-BJBdf-BJBci-BL5US-BJBe7-BJBat-BL3sy-BL5TD-BL3vG Regards Confused of Beresford Junction Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.C.M Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Hi Phil, The half discs up the other way have a hole part way through. If you look in your bits bag there should be some. The real things could be folded from the top or the bottom. Hope that makes sense. Cheers Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beresford Junction Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 Any more photos of your station?? looks very nice... If you're talking about the one in #1355 - that's actually Peters layout "Llanbourne. North Wales in the 80s". My station currently consists of a plank of wood Hi Phil, The half discs up the other way have a hole part way through. If you look in your bits bag there should be some. The real things could be folded from the top or the bottom. Hope that makes sense. Cheers Peter. Thanks - I never knew it was so complicated. I'll take a look tonight.

Beresford Junction Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Morning Looks like the overnight engineering works (sticking the sides onto the bridge and weighing them down) were successful. On with H2, although I managed to fall down the stairs last night and have damaged my elbow - (just getting the excuses in early in case I don't get it all finished) Phil 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beresford Junction Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Ouch. Hope the elbow feels better soon. Thanks. I thought I'd broken it as it is the exactly the same spot I've broken before and that time I had to have a pin inserted. I suspect that held it all together.

Ralph Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) Excuse the ignorance but this Yank would like to know what the discs are for. Every time I think I'm getting a handle on British railways you guys come up with something I've never noticed before. Thanks, Dave used in a similar way to front lights on the previous steam loco hauled train services to denote the type of train when the loco is not fitted with a headcode display, for example on the bigger loco's there was a black & white display to show the train code such as 1A45, these displays are no longer used in UK but the 4 digit code is used on control room/signal box route boards. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Train_reporting_number Edited October 12, 2013 by Ralph Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this had been a plain semi-disc, the light behind would never have been able to shine through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beresford Junction Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 Afternoon all. Firstly thanks for all the advice / info about the discs - obvious when someone explains it. Secondly here are the bridge updates - all now glued, and some extra legs added. The plan is to turn the bits on the inside into pavements, by scoring a curb along the edge. Not sure if I can turn the screws into manhole covers somehow. And get this - H2 has progressed, slower than expected - mainly due to the time spent spinning nuts up and down the threaded rod. Here it is in construction / drilling to get all the holes lined up. And after fitting under the layout. Levels not yet set as you can see. I wanted to get the basics there then connect up to the baseboard and start from there. As for the elbow - it's getting better, despite having to crawl about under H2, and yes Scott, that was my first aid box. Phil 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satan's Goldfish Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Nice work, good to see h2 growing up! Bridge looks great, feeling inspired here. If you want to be really anal on bridge leg support details I could get you shots from a real similar structure next time I go and see my friend the troll? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanks522 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Good weekends progress by the looks of it Phil, Glad H2 is on the up, At this rate there'l be trains by 2014. Hope the elbow is improving. Graham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beresford Junction Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 Right, I decided to take a break from H2 / woodworking and go back to a bit of modelling. Hopefully the discs are in the right place now (thanks again for all the help) and then painted the top one black Am I right in thinking I don't need to paint any on the front? So.... next bit of help needed next is where do all the other bits go? Peter, I've tried studying the photo of yours, but can't quite work out which bit is bit. And one final pic (for Class "66") - here is what might be the station at some point, or is that a RES deopt, or... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
