RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted November 23, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) Morning Gents Okay so here are the 'naked' pictures of the new washing shed (its raining so priming delayed!). Front view in position. The covered stairs and platform will be glued in after the painting stage, hence the odd angles! Looking from the other end. Now with a bullet parked up in the 'washing position'. There are skylights but these are masked ready for painting at the moment. Once the paint is on and all glued up there will be a few additional bits added as per the the one at Quidhampton that this has been very loosely based on.

Grimleygrid Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Very nice modelling Ian, you have some lovely buildings. Tidworth really is progressing at speed. Wish I could get my layout moving forward at the same pace! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted November 23, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 23, 2014 I know this is possibly a little late A little but sod's law of course! Do you know if it is just a repaint of their 64ft suburban, as that rides a bit too high in comparison to the Bachmann 2H? The roof vents needs changing too, which I've replaced on my version using MJT castings and I have also replaced the ones on the 2H coaches to so that they all look the same, but I haven't posted a pic of them yet.

RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted November 29, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 29, 2014 Thanks Pete I could say the same on your thread especially the speed you are working at! The thumper is nearly ready for paint I'm looking foward to seeing it in NSE. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted December 8, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) Morning all, Another two weeks passes by! The wash shed has been painted and both it and the loader have been weathered today as well as final gluing done ready for mounting permanently on the layout. Wash shed in position after painting and weathering. The loader in position after weathering and final gluing. Both of these structures will get some more treatment once everything is in place and a final weathering to pull it all together. 33035 waits patiently for the bullet's washing cycle to finish. '35 waits again for the loading phase to finish. Also over this weekend I've been giving this some treatment for the Campbell Road foreman, and it should have a path back this Wednesday evening. That's all for now folks, except to say I have placed the order for the signalling equipment for the Tidworth area, stay tuned!

RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted December 22, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 22, 2014 Morning all, Yes another two silent weeks pass by, but I haven't been idle! The signals arrived within a couple of days from CR signals so last weekend and this I have used what time I've had to get them fitted and wired up. At close of play this Sunday the yard has 6 ground signals installed and working and all the routes have been re-programmed into the Prodigy system to include switching of signals with the points! The only signal not fitted at this point is the 3-aspect starter for the platform road for which I need to knock up a gantry. Note to "The Tidworth on the road crew", the number of routes has expanded from 11 to 20 so further training and revision will be required early in the New Year, so we will have to set up a date for a layout shakedown especially as there's only 118 days to go! 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitbull1845 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Evening Ian, you went to the trouble of wiring them up then. I'll try and find some days off for the training day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beresford Junction Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 In that case I need to sign up for the series of training day(s). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted December 24, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 24, 2014 (edited) Afternoon chaps Just a quick update for Christmas before I dash off to Exford Park to grab a pic or two of the annual "Network Santa" railtour passing through especially as it will be the last one! Overview of the Left hand 'country end' of Tidworth with nameboard that will eventually be located on a fascia board of the lighting rig. View of the platform end. With a little less than 4 months until the debut exhibition I need to build a station building, an oil storage tank for the fuel road as well as a small shelter for the pump. After that the area can be blitzed with ground cover and general greenery in one hit, finish off the road and add all the small details to the station etc not to mention the lighting rig/fascia, boy am I going to be busy! Now the latest additions, ground signals... Two GPLS controlling movements out of the yard. Two more at the run round crossovers. Points set and lights clear to run into the platform headshunt. Points and signal now clear to run back through the platform. Although it appears the signaller in Salisbury has not been made aware of the Prodigy handset across all lines! Compliments of the season to one and all and look out for the railtour later. Edited October 20, 2022 by Temeraire 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 That look absolutely stunning Ian. Those position light signals lift everything to another level, if that was even possible! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
