I never saw that!

very nice!!!

Yeah, its a new site I stumbled on that do 3D printed models, they should be doing a rake of MK4s, and a 2600 ETC...

Is there any plans for Enterprise De Dietrich Stock to be produced, I Know that BS models will be producing MK4s, so...

any pictures?

what about 4000's?

Are they still available? If so could you give me the web adress for where to by, thanks

The class 80 was a MIR kit that I built several years ago. Very hard to come by now and I would say you would pay a lot of money for it. The kit comprised of etched brass sides and white metal detailing parts. I assume you need the angles for the power car cab

yeah thanks

could you give me the angles for the cabs, and some tips on how to make one

What are you planning to use as a donor?

i bought 8 mrk2s off ebay

could you give me the angles for the cabs, and some tips on how to make one

Surprised no-one mentioned that loco depot layout... thought it was excellent! Old Blarney was probably my favourite though...

yes it goes to shoe that a layout doesn't have to be big to be great!

i got jealous, all the layouts there had a class 111

That would look great! Not many people model NIR, but I think it would be excellent.

its the 3000s and the 4000 that would be tricky to get hold of

If you are seriously thinking of modelling part of York Road Works it would be of benefit to look at it on Google Maps and you will get a bird’s eye view.

i have done its quite complex

Really? Glad I could help, but you can incorporate your own ideas into as well!

yes, I think yorks road will come in somewhere

Yeah sorry if I forced that plan on you! Just seeing what I could make out of that space, but it's entirely up to you and if you do like the look of it you can build something like it!

its a very good plan, I will probably use it or somthing like it

Well to start off with, you've a fatastic space!

 

Is it an attic, shed, garage, room?

 

The key thing for me was what I 'enjoyed' was the first consideration.

 

Do you like

- watching trains go by, or running through countryside

- shunting wagons and putting together trains

- admiring your locos in a depot / tmd style setting

 

There are lots of ways to build a layout, end to end, fiddle to station, TMDs are hugely popular these days too. The key thing is to understand what you want from the layout.

 

For me, I enjoy the running through countryside bit, but was more interested in the operational side, so I designed a track plan that gives me lots of operations, shunting coaching stock, shunting fraight, loco release, engines running off shed, per way work, etc.

 

This way I have a double mainline loop, a branch to a fiddle yard with a reverse loop and three (if not four) busy shunting 'zones' - a largish terminus station, a small DMU stabling and fueling area, a freight yard with per way sidings, a loco shed and fueling point, a preserved steam/diesel workshop/depot and a small cement works / quarry scene.

 

This way even three or four operators could be busy preparing trains and shunting stuff around while 3-4 trains circuit the mainline giving plenty to watch going buy, or you can just leave the stock looking pretty and watch the trains go by (for me, this was a key requirement in creating a loop / oval / circuit design, so I could set trains off and chill out with a beer )

 

Let us know more details about the space, the room the layout will be in, if it needs to be mobile, or can be fixed, and we can offer more suggestions

Thanks, its in a shed. Do you know any good track planning software for mac? I've tried xtrkcad but i didn't work... I'd prefer to have it moveable but I don't mind having it stuck

Need ideas for a new layout

11.5 foot by 8 foot, thinking of a depot and a station with a fiddle yard on the 8 foot strip, it will be on a |_| shape.

i want!

Hi Richie,

 

Cheers for the compliments. They're mainly brass running on a bachmann chassis. I have a preference for using RTR chassis' for operational reliability. Nothing worse than a great looking model that drives like sh*t!

put it in a depot

I thought it was 230 in the old Enterprise small yellow panel livery that was coming out.

Wiggy.
