Ofcourse gents Tomorrow after my exam as of today ive finished up school, im going to be swinging on down to marks in town to pick up a tub of basalt so when the carpender comes around and gets the wood done, I can get straight to it with the basalt, track, nails and main masterpiece, the shed By the time he comes around id say for certain ill have connolly shed built and maybe detailed Now im getting my laptop back tomorrow as it was in need of repair, I will then open up Anyrails and get working on a birds eye view of the track work to give a better visual presentation

What book is that from?
-
Thanks @jhb171achill I was familiar with the condition of the body seeing them in person and remember looking at the video of them being moved from heuston to inchicore, they looked so fragile even at such a low speed It mightn't be likely and could end up like what the RPSI did with a hunslet they had But would be brilliant if the remaining 6 do get preserved especially hearing on trackwork being done as of now Also wondering what lines/routes they are banned from doing?
-
Rememeber when they would run them with the cravens once Be nice to see them back up on railtours and branches but mightnt be likely due to their condition And 2 were sold off to maam cross not too long ago But only time can tell
-
Hope these help too
-
Whilst I’m here gents Which size of basalt should I choose to get as I’m ordering 4 large bags for abt 8-9 ish quid from temu(a Chinese e commerce website for cheap stuff) which isn’t too bad for modelling stuff And I will be looking around at a lot more websites like temu especially when my laptop gets its memory back in it seeing as I’m buying a lot of what I need but also have a parents if I need them too but also don’t wanna be stinging off them iswell ofcourse
-
I got my hands on a strip of flexitrack to show the carpenter what it’s like as I’m not after sharp corners and want it to be somewhat oval It’s the track with the 60 cent coin standing on Im also planning to be adding a pre-made layout that was formally a display to the opposite side on my room from Connolly shed
-
Idk if these have been sent already but if not Here’s some I picked up at my local station right as I sent this
-
This is all I’ve got hope it comes valuable to anyone from my outings and commutes Most aren’t perfect to print and stick onto something but i hope it still comes in handy ofcourse IR_CaseStudy_1.mp4 IR_CaseStudy_2.mp4 IR_Stickers_Anim.mp4
-
Ofcourse ill show the whole process
-
Forgot to send this is well Rough concept sketch of the layout Ain’t no Picasso with sketches but least the ideas actually can make some what sense
-
I’m also installing corkboard as an extra bit of silence too and realism when I basalt the tracks
-
Carpenter came and he told me MDF is the best to use as it won’t be going outside or near anything damp as it’s gonna be in my room MDF will be 18mm thick I was thinking too ahead when he first came but he finally got what I have in my head as I put it down, glad I did knowing myself I also explained what will be onto him as he first thought I was building platforms like the station but when he realised I was building just the shed, it cleared a good bit of confusion All in all, satisfied with the plan but I’m hoping the build it with him but been told it’s gonna be done when I’m in school I will be doing the wiring, scenery, track laying, etc; myself ofcourse
-
Thanks so much It came to me that with movements and extra weight of landscape and other extras that it would be prone to crack especially when there would be DCC wiring under the board for the tracks Exactly, Ill have a look and see if my grandad down my road has anything or my dad at his workplace
-
Is varnishing the boards a good idea before placing any track and landscape?
-
Thanks so much, Would ply be the best for wiring and strength?

Apologies for the long wait for an update as i was waiting for the carpender who i was hoping for a helping hand is what ive been told by my mam but no sign of him and go what i originally intended and do it myself Im going to get my laptop back from the repair shop this afternoon after school to do the full track layout of my room on Anyrails and will post the final results and concepts here Seeing how i am for money after getting my laptop back, i plan to go to marks and get my flexitrack, in the meantime, im going to sort my room and put stuff back on my desk and shelves (except the one i will build Connolly shed on) that were previously cleared for the carpender Also need to verify with my parents to know if they are planning anything else with my room in the meantime to have the green light to get building Speaking of building, Im also planning on getting MDF board from a woddies near me and my grandad down the road has tools i can use and i believe he also has excess wood that can come in handy, if i need any other tools, i can get some from my dads workplace when it comes to more finicky and eletronical
