Wow! Stunning, nice work.

He's talking about that Murphy Models rubbish God loves a trier!

They look great Jason, nice work

Welcome to the site John, the NCE Power Cab is a good option and can be extended as your layout grows. It is a bit complicated to program and the display is quite small, but apart from that it is good. Another good option is the Gaugemaster Prodigy. Both controllers can be bought for around £130 sterling. Stay away from the Hornby controllers in particular the select as it's not NMRA compliant. Best of luck with the layout and keep us posted.

Here's a great little tool that I use. It's a flush cutter, I use 3 of them in the workshop for various jobs. Great for track cutting, brass and plastic kits. I liked them so much I bought in a load of them to sell!

It would have been, he had a fully kitted out model engineering workshop.

My Dad had one. Sadly my Mother sold it when he died

Have a look at Eoins chassis, it runs like a dream with nice slow running. Including a working fan, directional fibre optic lighting. Well worth a look.
-
Excellent! Really taking shape. The trees look great.

Carlow Station and Sugar Factory. First venture into 00 gauge

That's a great start. Looking forward to seeing the layout progress. -
They are not Eoin's kits! Dive Controller misread my post.

They are not Eoin's kits. Your comments were not constructive, in particular your first statement. I was speaking to Eddie one of the guys behind Dawson Hall at the October show, they are aware that the pricing is high and are starting to sell into the American market and with volume sales prices should fall. He did say sales are good, at the end of the day it's only worth what someone is willing to pay.

Not a very nice comment, manufacturers need constructive criticism not to be slated if they are to continue to develop there products. Yes it's card but it's nothing like Metcalf, a lot of hours go into producing these kits. If you read back through the Dart thread you will see the comments Eoin received a lot were constructive some not so. If he gave up due to the negative comments we wouldn't have the stunning model that it has become. Give the guy a chance.

Yes I agree they are very expensive. That price for the station building is for assembled and painted.
-
Seriously good though
-
That is stunning. The detail is phenomenon.
-
Thanks lads, I slowly coming together. There is a lot of small details that take quite a bit of time to get right.
-
Thanks Rich, yes a lot of containers in the middle with two heljan container cranes at the dockside. Should look good when it's finished.

Bit of an update on the Port area. Got the back scene boards up. As this layout comes apart I designed the back scene boards to be interlocking ensuring that they stay in perfect alignment. The buildings were custom made ultra low relief to represent an industrial estate backing onto the railway. This will be finished with a bit of a waste ground with a fence beside the track.

It's really taking shape now, looking forward to seeing it finished.

I have 10 negative ion generators on order if anyone is interested in making their own.
-
That's a great pic! Just oozes atmosphere
-
Lovely scene Noel. The layout is really taking shape.

Good link Kieran. My method works well, a layout that I built for a client uses this method and resulted in very quiet running. I only use PU foam (closed cell) which means glue can't absorb into it therefore the foam is glued down to the baseboard and the track glued to it and the foam becomes a excellent insulator between the two surfaces. Then the ballast is kept away from the baseboard resulting in quiet running. It's a simple method that works!
