Hi Wiggy, I made the schematic from sections of the layout in Anyrail, I copied the sections in Anyrail to a new drawing. Printed it out on A4 and then glued t to 6mm MDF then covered it with clear contact adhesive.

The switches I got on Ebay,

I used bi-colour 3mm LED's red/green.

You will need bezels and a 1k resistor.

I used the Peco PL-15 twin micro switch, one for switching the polarity on the electrofrog and the other to switch the LED's on the mimic panel, I also fitted some signals to the platform level, they also switch with the points.

Here's a couple of pics of the mimic panel

Superb build,great idea with the raised station.Good use of the space available,my own layout has about the same space available and it can be surprising what can be fitted into a limited space with a bit of planning.Well done,great workmanship all round.

Cheers! As the layout is only 10 feet long there was not enough room for a proper station.

The gradient is 3%, the station breaks up the oval track and you can get a rake of 6 into it.

Hi Dave

 

Great layout, very neat work. Especially like the mimic panel, very neat

Cheers Eoin!

Yes he is delighted, its a 10' x 5' layout

Just completed this layout for a member of the model railway society of Ireland.

Scenery is next on the list, its an all Irish layout.

Welcome to the forum. There is a wealth of information here with the collective knowledge of the members. Best of luck with your layout.

Very tasty! I wonder could you swop the cab out for a 141? Hmmmmm

Nice work Patrick, did you use the Peco platform edging?

Eoin, that looks great. We will have to put scenery on that side of the baseboard to set the scene! Well done

Very nice work, well done. Love your pics on flickr

Stunning Kieran, looks fantastic.

James May made an attempt a few years ago, it was 10 miles long in 00!

Love it! =))

Sorry for the poor quality, something must have gone wrong in uploading

A few pics of the show

Wow, that's a nice layout. I will just use a hand winch as an electric winch is very expensive.

Have to wait till I get my layout started, I'm planning on a 12' x 5' layout that is suspended from the workshop roof and winch it down when I want to use it.

Well when you do get it plugged it in, put it in the Calendar as "First Annual IRM Meeting" and I'm sure I can find a few to come inspect to H&S criteria of the fridge! BYOB I assume?

Sounds good Richie, I'm sure I can stretch to a few beers
