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.

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

The workshop is a mess, I just moved in. I haven't plugged the beer fridge in yet!

Thanks lad's, I have ordered that Richie. Thanks for the offer 108, I will take you up on that. I'm making a mimic panel for this

Hi Guys, I want to make a mimic panel with LED's for point indication. I want to do a schematic using black tape 5mm wide. Anyone know where I can buy some? Ta:-bd

Wow! Stunning work well done:tumbsup:

Looks great Kieran, love the trusses. Well done

No worries, I'm currently building a 10' x 5' layout for a customer, I'll post pics of it when its finished

The capacitor discharge unit in the link will be enough for what you want to do. You will only need one. I am making control panels pre-wired and numbered with connection terminals for connecting point motors to complete with a heavy duty DC power supply and LED indicators showing the position of the point.

Peco point motors are fine, you will need an auxiliary switch with it if you are powering the frog on the point, as you need to switch the polarity on the frog as the point switches.You don't have to power the frog, but you are relying on the side of the frog and rail for electrical continuity. If you need a second switch for an LED to show which way the point is set you will need a PL-15 twin micro switch. These are a pain as you have to assemble them, it took me 2 hours the other day to assemble 18 of them! The Seep point motor has all this built in and works out cheaper.

Looks great Kieran, coming along nicely

Spotted these on ebay http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Model-Irish-Railways-Cement-Bubble-wagon-Kit-perfect-with-Murphy-Models-Rare-/261262068880?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item3cd46ecc90

Lovely layout, nice atmosphere to it.

I seen it on Sunday, it's stunning. The detail is fantastic, there is an Evening Herald on the dashboard!

Try the Metcalf card kits, they are available in N gauge from Marks Models http://www.metcalfemodels.com/n-gauge-kits

Very nice work, well done:tumbsup:

I'm planning a container terminal for my layout, try these. http://scalescenes.com/products/T030-Cargo-Ship http://scalescenes.com/products/T016-Dock-Edge

That is a good little set.

Not a very good set Paul, its only single action and I would say the nozzle wouldn't be great. You can get cheaper on eBay

They look great Tommy, thanks for the photos. it will be a while before I start mine as I have just moved house and no layout

Tommy, will you post a close up pic of the bubbles. i want to have a go at a rake.

Those cement bubbles look great Tommy. Did you use the old kinder egg or the new hinged ones?

That's a great plan, well thought out. Anyrail is great software, I have used it to design a number of layouts for customers. looking forward to seeing this develop.

I love the American Big Boys, monster loco. Just goes to show the power of steam.

Great video Wiggy
