what are people doing on their layout right now

[talisman56]

It's set up in the garage and I've added some representative trains/rolling stock so I can take some photos for the Club Display board:








First attempt to see if that's the sort of thing they want - next time I'll open the garage door to get some more light on the subject   

Edit: Printed the above pictures on A4 paper and they don't look so dark as they look above. They wanted more 'detail' and 'action' rather than 'overview', so the 2nd, 3rd and last ones were selected...

That brewery building certainly looks good with the wagon turntable, enjoyed seeing the layout at Yeovil, nice to see it progressing.

I also like the wagon turntable, I assume it is the Peco 009 version ?. Not having seen one since puberty is it plastic or can you actually run locos across it ?.

Jerry

[talisman56]

Yes it is the 009 version and it is plastic. The Brewery siding will be shunted by a tender loco (the Adams 0395 or Drummond 'Black Motor' will be the designated trip freight locos) and they have been tested for continuity and continuous running over it...

finishing? my first layout  a 5 by 3 modern english diesel shunting with a double run round layout. at the same time trying to design a second layout 6 by 3 for prewar  uk steam for which i have already got plenty of engines and rolling stock  the big problem is my mobility has now gone downhill very rapidly . i could not spend many hours underneath wiring up points,uncoupling magnets etc etc as i did on the present layout. i am thinking of trying to design a complete hinged top so i could wire up and screw in possibly 2 dozen points etc either sitting or standing ,whether it will work or not i shall see in the future.
  i would like any feedback from anyone who has tried or done this before
  thanks in anticipation

Basking in the glow of having cleaned the track yesterday  and now running my little Terrier with three 4 wheel Southern green coaches on my out and back  .  The smell of roast beef and Yorkshire puddings wafting from the kitchen, a glass of Czech lager in my hand, paradise 
Also wondering how the blue black blazes I am going to fit and run Brighton Belle (Umber & Cream, of course on my tiny layout

I ponder the same question about a Blue Pullman...

On a Sunday when Europe once again retain the Ryder Cup? Absolutely nothing on the layout

Likewise here, nothing done all weekend due to watching the Ryder Cup, been ignoring moans all weekend of where's my dinner and the like, it's the only sporting event I get really hooked into.   Well done lads for retaining the cup.

I never paid much interest in horses.
