RMweb Premium Mark Forrest Posted July 7, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 7, 2017 Well that's Fryers all loaded up and ready for tomorrow. The new metal trestle legs were a bit of a challenge, may revert to the smaller wooden ones for its next outing. Think I'll get myself a beer.

RMweb Premium Mark Forrest Posted July 9, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 9, 2017 Had a really enjoyable day at our little show yesterday, really nice to meet so many people who have seen the layout on here and have watched its progress. The layout performed reasonably well with no real dramas to report. For a moment I thought I was having issues with the big Cargowaggon derailing, but on closer inspection it was because I had the turnout set against it! The loco happily ran through, pushing the switch blades over as it went, hence me thinking the wagon was at fault. There's a bit more to do with the couplings. Two more of the original SEEP electromagnets to replace. Have in mind some changes to the lighting fascia (had planned to do that before yesterday, but ran out of time). Will try to get that done soon as it will bring the lighting forward of the layout front and remove some unwanted shadows. The current mix of warm and cool LED lighting worked well though (apart from when Chris got hold of the remote control for the lighting). 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted July 9, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 9, 2017 I particularly liked your disco layout lights. Great fun until you confiscated the lights controller!

Looks like there are a couple of EM layouts attending, maybe I could take along a box full of blue type 2s and give them a re-purposing too? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mark Forrest Posted July 12, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 12, 2017 Operating the layout solo at our SFG show last Saturday I was reminded that the slide switch to change the turnout in the left fiddle yard is a bit of a pain because you need to walk the length of the layout to change it. The surplus items I had for sale at the show included a brand new Fulgurex point motor. No takers at the bargain price of a fiver, it came back home with me. No prizes for guessing what the plan that's starting to form in my head might be... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
