RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted November 10, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 10, 2017 Honourable Duck Do you think given the way conversations flow around here you should rename the thread 'Rambling Around Seaton Junction'? IT dies see to sum up what goes on And long may it continue! Can I use that as the title of the forthcoming book about the layout? Acknowlegement on the flies of course. P. U.

RMweb Premium great northern Posted November 10, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 10, 2017 I've just put a rather nice photo of one of Phil's engines on my thread, and I thought he might like to see it on here too. It is a rather fine model of an imposing prototype, don't you think? Have to dash now, as I've been summoned to unveil the new signs at the entrance to *******borough, after which I have to look at a plank. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had made a start, but I'm still only halfway through adding the couple of hundred wires for this 2-wire DCC layout. They are nicely weathered though, and are routed for the eventual caravans and ablutions block you'll need to add later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted November 10, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 10, 2017 Moan. There you go Strubberyers! Thanks a lot Gilbert. Lovely pic. I'd be more concerned about the lack of any brake gear and coc# pipes. Those ######ds at Spittle Bridge also nicked the copper whistle fitting but I found it on my workbench. Y. O. Bullpepper.

It was hard to get it to stop, to the extent that it drove itself into the turntable pit at Leeds Victoria when nobody was looking, at a Leeds show about 40 years ago.

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted November 10, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) Today I was fortunate to have a visit from the CCE. He even arranged for the actual 60103 to take part, along with slightly smaller *guest locomotives in the loft. I'm sure they will appear on a thread near you. What I thought were complete arse glitches with a couple of areas of track, were fettled within minutes. Trickery was checked and things seem to be OK but two things are required. 1. The Fiddle Sidings need to be a District that can be isolated so that occasional DC running can take place using visiting DC loco's on the main line. I will check the BUS but I'm sure that can be achieved easily. 2. I can't remember what that was! Ideas for spurs and cassettes, as organised on P North, were passed as a probable good idea. A strategy for what happens next was considered and the future sounds exciting. However it means I need to get my arse in gear and get stuff done in the Station down side and Branch/West yard areas. I need to make a tasks list. There was also some discussion about the new Pecoboo Unifrog Point and it was lovingly caressed. It did not report us to any authority. The item looks bigger than, but is actually the same size as, an existing C75 medium rad. product. It does look very weird next to C75 Peco Universal and even looks a little odd next to C & L Bullhead. It is very flexible and that seems like a great bonus for users. I might pop one on the layout and see if it works; well maybe. When i think of something else I shall post again.

The Fiddle Sidings need to be a District that can be isolated so that occasional DC running can take place using visiting DC loco's on the main line. I will check the BUS but I'm sure that can be achieved easily. Any DCC loco's elswhere on the layout would be removed. 2. I can't remember what that was! :scared:Yes I can. I need to work out how I can switch to DC ops without undoing the DCC feeds (but that will have to be switched out/off of course).

I might pop one on the layout and see if it works; well maybe. When i think of something else I shall post again. Philterpaper I thought of something else. The CCE is also a signals fan and knows loads about wires and interlocking and how to get things to work in a safe way operationally and as prototypically as possible with a trainset. Thus, there could well be a suitable leaver frame going in more or less opposite where the Junction S. Box was/will be situated. The frame could be creatively placed in a Dairy building; that sounds like a lot of fun. As for me, I have fettled a final point where the Branch hidden storage siding for the PP Set and loco is situated and it now works correctly and I have identified a Fulgurex to drive it using 2 wires only as the point has a Juicer fitted already. So DCC does just need 2 wires after all. Hoorah. CCE identified why my west, trailing cross over was not working correctly. I had not cleaned the switch blades correctly after replacing the original cross over; doh! In conclusion for the time being, it looks as if the set up works OK over extended trial running and importantly the scenic sections look secure and ready to be prepped for initial scenic work/ballast where it won't impede future work. The fiddle also seems to be adequate and operationally OK apart from the addition of some spurs. So there is no excuse now not to get on and make this thing look a bit more like a model of a place rather than some rails on boards.
