    Dusted down the 70 Class for a run. I added pick ups to the trailing bogie of the power car to prevent gapping at the insulated frogs. Cheers Darius

    My first and only main line steam trip in Ireland was from York Road to Whitehead and back in 1978, hauled by one of those two locos - not sure which but I recall it was green. Cheers Darius

    Power bus installed below the baseboards with feeds to each length of flexitrack soldered to the undersides of the rails. Found one short due to one of the turnout frog rails not having an insulated joiner - fixed. Running fine on DCC. Cheers Darius

    Planning to use the same technique to build the station buildings and canopy for “Whiterock”. Cheers Darius

    Hi Leslie, I used 2mm and 1mm thick card stock for the main structure and roof along with thinner card (photo print paper). For the cabin glazing I used clear acetate sheet (Ratio kit packaging). I used Ratio windows to make the large glazed units to the frame room. Cheers Darius

    Track laying continues. Cheers Darius

    More wire in tube turnout controls added. Cheers Darius

    Hi Patrick, It’s called an “omega loop” and prevents the pull or push of the wire from breaking the point by absorbing excess movement. Cheers Darius
  21. Darius43
    Track laying commenced. Point control by wire in tube. Cheers Darius

    Radio silence on the missing parts so I ordered some cut to order 9mm plywood from another supplier and they arrived on Thursday. Baseboard assembly completed today. Track laying starts tomorrow. Cheers Darius

    Whilst waiting for the missing baseboard parts, I decided to pre-paint the track - Peco Code 75. Cheers Darius
  25. Darius43
    Alas baseboards construction has stopped as the framing parts for two of the modules were not supplied. I have asked for them to be shipped ASAP. The shop (Model Railway Solutions) is closed today but I will call them tomorrow. Very frustrating. Cheers Darius
