Plus we don't have the power generation ability as a nation to supply the draw of power required to charge an electric vehicle for everyone. It would be the ultimate recycling or green eco friendly or insert term here move to use and convert modes of transport that have already been produced.

I think this is deadly. Instead of all that EV nonsense which cost more to produce in emissions then regular combustion the likes of conversion of regular engine to fuels like these will help offset the emissions they have already produced over their lifetime. Jcb has done similar tests and proof of concept work themselves. Plus it would be a true testament to these locomotives if they served the network past 100

Thank you. As I've said many times the buildings and now the bridge has been the must enjoyable part of it all and it has to be said a challenge given I'm working off video
-
Thanks Rob, it's great to finally run some trains again
-
High praise indeed. Just need to build up the courage to program it
-
Cause sometimes you just want to run trains. 20230904_105644.mp4 20230904_105935.mp4

The curtains were actually in place right up until the yard closed.

The scene continues to slowly develop. Here no.156 carries out some shunting of a loaded container flat. More weathering and scenery work will follow but for now this is the only part of the layout to get any due to working around the bridge supports themselves. Your thoughts and comments as always are appreciated. Chris

Thank you very much. A lot of screen shoots were taken which has allowed me to pick out a lot of those details
-
A few details remain but for the most paint I'm delighted with how it all turned out. Your thoughts as always are appreciated.

Exactly as DJ pointed out it is how it was in the reference video I'm using. The left side would appear to have been for a long since removed line.

Phase one of the bridge is complete and ready for painting. I've been using the fert for clearance testing as it is the tallest wagon but also tried it with container loaded flats. Phase two will see the decline of the road down off the bridge to ground level. Your thoughts as always are appreciated.

It did take a while but worth it in the result
-
Actually didn't think of that. No I scored down the back of it every couple of CM and just gently started bending it around.

I'm grateful there is only one. It was a torture to curve.
-
The bridge that forms part of the scenic break for the layout is taking shape. Very happy with the progress so far on this stretch build.

Thank you very much. I paid the most attention to this. I did have issues with the two sidings on the far side of the goods shed which took the longs to get right

The NCE powercab works very well with the MM chip
-
Thank you very much. While getting to finally run a train is great the process of wiring everything up and testing brought its own enjoyment element
-
While I'm sure unrealistic I had to see how they looked in the scene. 20230817_151600.mp4

Great shot coming over the stream

While 210 never ran here in real life, at least to my knowledge 210 became the first train to run here on Barrack Street. While unfortunately not running a sound chip that dos not take away from this milestone or the sense of achievement. Over the next week 210 will be tasked with testing the operation and track of the yard before the track itself is finally secured in place. 20230816_204714.mp4 20230816_205140.mp4

Three things which do not apply to me, old,rich and retired

Not to high jack the topic but is there any word on the 201s since the 141/181 and mk2s are listed
-
The first phase of wiring is complete. All track feeds bar the power for the points has been wired in with droppers awaiting the installation of the point motors and finally some tiding up of the wires.
