RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted December 24, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 24, 2014 That look absolutely stunning Ian. Those position light signals lift everything to another level, if that was even possible! Thanks Pete, and you're welcome to use the pic of the nameboards by the way, shall I PM you a pic taken in natural light today? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Thanks Ian. No need to take an extra pic, the one you uploaded to the North Street thread will be fine just to give them the right idea. Thanks again! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimleygrid Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Merry Christmas Ian. The signals look fantastic, as Pete has said it brings the layout to life. You certainly have created a very nice exhibition layout, and it isn't finished yet! I look forward to seeing it in the flesh, hopefully next year.

RMweb Premium Popular Post Temeraire Posted December 24, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2014 (edited) Evening all, I've just got back from chasing the 'Network Santa Circular III' railtour and thought I'd post its progress here. Having reached Andover on the outward journey after visiting Leaford the tour comes to a stand at Tidworth for the first time. After detaching from its train 50003 now begins the run-round as Ramilies and Hood were left at Andover to rejoin the train later. Once coupled up at the far end, Temeraire eased the train back as close as possible to the buffer stop to the delight of the onboard track bashers who all made a dash for the end vestibule! (believe me it happens I've witnessed it!) Temeraire now waits time at the platform for the road. From here the tour heads off to the GWML at Swindon for a fast run up to Arnash Lane and back down the LSWR mainline through Beresford Junction and onto Salisbury where 50019 & 50031 will head the train back to Devon in time for Santa! Thanks to all that have contributed, helped or just viewed over the last 10 months here and I look forward to meeting some of you out on the road at some point, but for now a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all.

RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted December 29, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 29, 2014 Morning all With all that Christmas nonsense out the way I've cracked on this morning creating more sawdust in an attempt at a lighting rig and fascia boards. Naturally now its all cut out I've found the screws I thought I had left are actually all gone, off to Wickes we go then! More later or tomorrow hopefully. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted January 7, 2015 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 7, 2015 More later or tomorrow hopefully. Just realised I said this! No pics again but the lighting rig and fascia boards have been constructed and painted now and are still drying out properly before I fit them to the layout and experiment with the LED strip lighting, perhaps at the weekend and I will take a pic or two! Also the front edging boards have also been finished off and the whole of the outside of the layout given a second coat of Slate grey. My Mum also finished making the curtains to hang along the front to hide the gang's knobbly knees at exhibitions. I have also recycled the fuel storage tanks that I built for Exford Park and these will now be placed on Tidworth. I always felt that they were too small to supply the twin fuel points at Exford Park anyway and the position they occupied meant they were rarely seen by anyone and never appeared in pics. Finally tonight I have added much more HBL as a base for the greenery as well as laid some card for the hardstanding in the yard by the warehouse. All in all I feel that good progress has been made over the Christmas period and I'm confident of having something presentable for WimRail! 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Temeraire Posted January 10, 2015 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 10, 2015 Evening all I mentioned earlier this week about what I've been up to lately, so today I took some pictures in some natural light so you can see how things are progressing. First up an overall view which involved standing just outside the conservatory to get a wide enough angle. View of the whole scenic part of the layout with the lighting fascia in place. View along the left side showing the recent works adding HBL and creating the hardstanding area in the yard. The slurry loader has also been fixed to the layout with a couple of screws from underneath. View the other way showing the relocated "Exford Park" fuel storage tanks and the grassed embankments by the bridge. A bit later in the day I fixed the layout nameboards to the fascia, Leftside with NSE board. Rightside with station nameboard. Early evening now and I've loosely attached the LED strip lighting to the fascia to see how it looks. As you can hopefully see it seems to be coming together at last with the main area for attention being the station itself now, although most of this will be just dressing once I've built a station building. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
