what are people doing on their layout right now

[Malc]

Finishing off gluing the track down. Fettled the flyover, just got to paint the piers. Then I can run some trains. I have some piccies, so may start a construction thread.

Never got as far as clearing the bench, maybe tomorrow    I'm sure I even saw some locos and rolling stock in there somewhere, one day, one day!

And you have the cheek to call yourself a railway modeller.

You know how it is like, life tends to get in the way of things Caz

some heavy duty Class 04 Maintenance.  Not sure when it will be out of the workshop...

[sparky]

Just filing down the bottom of the plastic bogie frames on a very cheap Class 47 Hadrian....Now to remember how to lower the body slightly.

[GScaleBruce]

Building the Faller single road locoshed (222141). Superglue is currently my best friend as it sets quicker than poly cement...

Building a bridge at the South end of my station.

The rough mock-up.


Trying out colours for the bridge girders - Tamiya Hull Red

I've spent the last few weeks just building Metcalfe buildings of all descriptions but finally got bored with that and painted some cutting walls in yellow sandstone, the first work on the layout itself for some time.

Running some trains earlier then.........powercut !
That put an end to that though power is back on again after 30 minutes.

Time for a return to clockwork powered trains again methinks!
Proof that no matter how many chips you have, how much DCC you may build into the system, no matter how complex the equipment you are only as good as your weakest electrical connecrtion.

Been wiring my Kato points this evening. Done all but 2 then I decided I was too tired to carry on. Will finish tomorrow.

[Nick]

Painting track.

Deep joy...

[Malc]

Finished all the points, now wiring droppers to the DC/DCC bus.

For the "umpteenth" time changed the layout again to accommodate more shunting options and rolling stock. AnyRail snapshot of amended layout appears below although text lines at bottom have yet to be updated. Yet to alter Scarm version of layout which will give a better 3D image of what I have done.

Tonight, I have mostly been . . . painting staples
