Hi all. If you are interested, Campbell Riverside is in the June 2015 issue of Continental Modeller. Regards John

Thanks for your kind comments George. I'm looking into making a few minor improvements for future shows. One that I want to work on soon is to extend the current dummy single high level line into the fiddle yard and behind the main back scene, then using an auto shuttle system will have a railcar or loco and caboose running back and forth. This will then ensure that something is always running if I'm on a break or talking to any viewers.

Great video, nice to see an exhibition form a different perspective.

Thanks billyboy

Had a very enjoyable weekend in Wexford, was great to meet friends old and new. A nice varied mix of layouts too from N to 0 and covering various era's as well. Thank you Donal for organizing the show.

Looking forward to it too. I will be there with my Campbell Riverside layout.

Nice work Nelson, looking good

Very nice job.

Great pics Broithe, good to see Dewsbury Midland still going. I first saw that layout at Ally Pally about 10 years ago.

One area of improvement that I feel is needed on Campbell Riverside is some form of lighting pelmet. As I have seen mentioned in other forums, exhibition halls vary in the lighting available and also where you are located with your layout makes a big difference. Another plan I have in mind is to possibly make the single track high level road extend into the fiddle yard and through the back scène to the back of the layout, the idea being to have a loco or short train shuttling back and forth using a time delay. This would ensure that there is always something running on the layout, irrespective of any operation on the main scene.

I have just found some pics that were taken at Enniskillen last September. Regards

Hi all, Here are a few pics of my Campbell Riverside layout at the Portlaoise last September (14th). The following weekend 20th September I took it to the Erne model railway clubs exhibition in Enniskillen. Apologies if I have already posted some of these pics. Regards

Hi Westport. 7)A CDU is recommended/essential? That depends on what power source you are using. I am using an old laptop power supply for my point motors (Seep) and that has plenty of power. If you use the tapping's from a conventional controller then a CDU may be advisable. 8)Electrofrog points are the way to go with DCC. Again, using a PM1 motor, can this be wired up to power the frog and look after polarity? Any thoughts or comments on any of the above would be welcome. I use SEEP PM1 on my layout and I have modified my peco points so that the seep powers the frog polarity depending on route set. Regards

Hi, Welcome to the world of railway modelling. In the first instance I would recommend that you have a look at a few model railway magazines first for some inspiration, Railway Modeller, Hornby Magazine, Model Rail and British Railway Modelling (BRM) are all quite good. Also some track plan books may be of use ( I have some if you are interested). Also you have come to the right place here, as there are a lot of modellers who can help and advice you.

£50.00 Stg. or €60.00 Bound issues of Garden Railways.

Hi, Here are a couple of pictures of Campbell Riverside being exhibited at the Midlands Model Railway exhibition in Portlaoise on 14th September. Was a very great and enjoyable day. Must give thanks to the lads at the Midlands Model Railway Club for giving me the chance to exhibit Campbell Riverside.
