Bassett Parkway

[Ditape]

Not quite finished all the wiring but for a change of pace I have set up the layout mimic on my ECoS. I have stolen a friends  idea of running all the wires to the front of the boards and then in trunking to the control desk.

[Ditape]

I got back on the wiring and now have the main lines operational, I still have the yard to wire.

[Ditape]

All the wiring has now been installed ready for connecting and programming of the DR4018 accessory decoder. Normal n gauge tunnel mouths don't work with Unitrack especially if you are going to run US locos at anytime, I am going to experiment with printing out OO/HO at various scale reductions to find what works best, a the moment www.wordsworthmodelrailway.co.uk/ single portal trimmed down in height is looking favourite.

Looking good!

That's quite a decent length run too

The result of butchering a Wordsworth Tunnel mouth, US locos pass thru OK.

The Shuttle/programming track along the front of the layout is now functional.

Bassett Parkway work on the scenery begins.

[Ditape]

A little progress has been made on the scenery the right hand end tunnel has been under-coated ready for the application of grass.

I have had the Brickies in working hard on the Bassett Parkway retaining walls over the last few days.

[Ditape]

I have been playing around with some buildings, trees and paint before I remove the trees and plant some grass.

[Ditape]

Taking a break from planting grass to run in my new 121 bubble car and sit and watch trains go by.

[Ditape]

Some more grass and a couple of trees planted today.

[Ditape]

Front right hand corner now complete with sheep and hand painted sky.

[Ditape]

A little more work done on the right hand end of Bassett Parkway.

You seem to have changed the track plan. I'm sure the single track at the front edge wasn't there in the original...?

Looking very good though!

Cheers,
