treggyman Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 (edited) Nice Layout there Treggyman. love the buildings, very inspirational stuff. What did you use for those fence posts? I drilled holes in many match sticks and threaded fine beadingwire through ours a bit over scale but a pleasing result! looking forward to seeing more. Hi Shaun Thanks for the comment... Yep....Matchsticks was my choice....For wire I used copper wire from multistrand cable...Threaded through with a very fine needle....

treggyman Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 Hi All Well another show weekend over..... Brown fizzy liquid in hand....Tea cooked & eaten....... A big thanks to all at Hayle Model Railway club for putting on such an enjoyable show & for all being so welcoming & helpfull.....Thanks very much. Well the traverser got sorted....Yesterday I moved one of the trestles to the end & it didn't seem to make much difference,so I didn't bother moving the other one... However my son persuaded me to move the other one & it seemed to sort the sagging problem out....A bit of bracing to fit & the problem will be sorted.... A couple more of the track joins were resoldered to get a better alignment & the layout ran trouble free apart from one or two 'coupling height' problems which can be easily sorted....Basicly NEM pockets on different manufacturers products varying in height with Kadees,& tension lock. A few pics.... & finally a picture of the layout all packed away inside the Landrover with the traverser tied down to the roofrack on top... My thanks to my son & grandson for their help over the weekend. Thanks also to Reece for his company over the weekend & nice to meet all other RMWebbers there who said hello &/or were exhibiting... Cheers Bill 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

treggyman Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 Hi B954673 Some cracking pictures there.....Hides the fact that it's not yet finished.... Glad you were able to run some of your stock.....It makes it much more fun when it's your train you're driving!!!! All I've got to do is weather my stock to your standard now & finish the layout. No pressure on you, but May will come round awful quick!?!?!?! Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wummyock Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Hello Treggyman, great looking layout! I was wondering what voltage the strip lights are you have on the layout. Cheerz Wummyock Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSLR Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Hi Bill and his many followers,Some more photos taken at the showA DMU on a Creedyford to Buxton service!And then a DMU from Peignton arrives at Creedyford for those wishing to alight and change trains to go to Buxton. This DMU then forms the Creedyford to Exeter service.My DCC sound Class 47 number D1547 arrives at Creedyford and brings sound to Bill's layout!Creedyford Box, I believe Mr Munday aproved! although it is at the moment lacking in any kind of signalling equipment.A Rat takes a local fertilizer and mixed goods train through CreedyfordThe train then arrives at Bill's marshaling yard to be sorted, shunted and then it can depart to it's destination where it will be emptied and then return to Creedyford.50 013 passes through Creedyford with an Engineer's trainA Network South East 50 arrives at Creedyford with a passenger train50 035 passes with an empty ballast trainA Class 33 is arriving into Creedyford with a local passenger service, the station master is on the platform.Get some interesting pictures with this camera! The station master about to give the right away.D1547 passing Creedyford with a Short train!Cheers, Reece 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmsforever Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Looks great,what will the level crossing gates be half barriers or gates? Don't worry about the destinations on the dmu,s in the late blue era at Aylesbury we could board trains for Bedford,Doncaster ,Hendon and various points west! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

treggyman Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 More great photos, I am really liking this layout.

treggyman Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 Hello Treggyman, great looking layout! I was wondering what voltage the strip lights are you have on the layout. Cheerz Wummyock Hi Wummyock Thanks for the comment. The striplights are 240volt. I initially tried 12volt kitchen spotlights powered by separate transformers. I used 3 per transformer as recommended but found that even with high diameter mains cable the distance from the transformers to the lights caused considerable power drop & even caused melting of the plug & socket joints between the two parts of the lighting pelmet....A considerable fire risk ,so I reverted to mains power. The whole purpose of the 12v system in the first place was so that no mains electricity would be anywhere but in the powerbox,but the only way to get the transformers to work safely would be to mount them on the lighting pelmet....If power was there safer & easier to use cheap mains ministriplights.

treggyman Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 Hi Reece Thanks for posting those cracking pictures..... A very nice selection.... A lot of weathering/detailing of stock is necessary..... I'm sure the long winter evenings will see progress. Thanks again Cheers Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
treggyman Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 Looking great David Hi David Thanks for the comment....Greatly appreciated Looks great,what will the level crossing gates be half barriers or gates? Don't worry about the destinations on the dmu,s in the late blue era at Aylesbury we could board trains for Bedford,Doncaster ,Hendon and various points west! Hi Imsforever Thanks for the comment. As far as I am aware the crossing was at that time,& still is protected by full width barriers which is what I plan to model. I would like them to be working,but I'm not sure about the 'Skirts' if thats what they are called.... Getting a series of fine 'wires' forming these 'skirts'to rise & fall correctly might be a challenge!!!! The 3 car 108 only arrived on the Friday morning...I'd been after one for ages but didn't want to pay the price they were going for.... This one was in my range & arrived on the Friday lunch time....So no time to change anything.....Ran sweet as a nut though. Cheers Bill 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
treggyman Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 Cracking layout! I enjoy your no nonsense get on with it approach. Do you find that commiting to exhibitions gets more done? Hi Sasquatch Thanks for the comment,much appreciated. AS regards commiting to an exhibition I think you could call that an understatement!!!! It does not always do much for the enjoyment side though as sometimes I found I was working on the layout because I felt I had to rather than because I wanted to. Thanks again Cheers Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
