Viaduct now tracked and ballasted. Now to study photos of viaduct decks again!
-
In my alternate universe the enterprise is a high speed, 120kph twice hourly service Ah sure why not :)

Hornby 2013 range to be announced on Monday
BosKonay replied to Warbonnet's topic in British Outline Modelling
Very little bashing required there! -
Hate that!
-
As garfield said, it should work as on the prototype (just with tinier forces ) So high speed trains (like the enterprise at full 100kph) should just lean nicely into the bend (that's the plan anyway, he says confidently!!)
-
Absolutely stunning :) Massive inspiration ! That farmyard is just gorgeous!
-
I've never seen a photo of a train on a curve where the loco is on the level, so assume it's really common in the prototype (if not required). It helps remove some 'train set' feel I think.
-
I've used small cardboard 'shims' placed under the black foam on the outside edge, Small cornflake packet thickness at first, then slightly thicker card (about .5 / .6 mm thick) at the maximum (where both locos were photographed). So as the train goes around the bend, the track gradually lifts, then eases out again. While of zero actual value in this scale, I feel it adds that little subconscious element that makes it worth doing,,..

Experimenting with superelevation on the bends....

Generator coaches for MkIIa and MkIII coaches.
BosKonay replied to Robert Davies's question in Questions & Answers
Cravens - Vac braked and steam heated, needs Mk1 Steam van or original Dutch van. MkIID Aircon - Vac braked and Electric Train Heating, needs MkIId gen van. MkIIAB - Air braked and ETH(?) needs rebuilt Dutch gen van. MkIII - Air braked and ETH, needs MkIII gen van.

I've been experimenting with some superelevation on the curves. I've put .5mm under the left hand swing, and, to my eye, it adds something.... I'll get some proper snaps when the glue sets!

Class 111/ 071 with Model Shop Belfast Sound Chips.

Planning is all me, just help on the baseboard side (and glendergs structures ) The planning, layout, track and electrics I can just about manage
-
It takes me a full hour to 'tidy up' the layout after the kids have decked it out in Thomas and pals (though from the sound of it, your lad is a bit older?)
-
He sounds bad, but he's a really useful engine
-
And Thomas helps out with clearance testing the new mainline section
-
LOL ! The joy of 'trainsets' I try to keep my attic locked
-
Here's a quick shot of the new mainline junction (just vacuumed) And some 'teaser trailers' for the viaduct....

Graham's layout - Monkhill and Saltstown.
BosKonay replied to irishthump's topic in Irish Model Layouts
Looking very very good indeed!! We're spoiled for Irish layouts :) -
It is I think some of the rake are a bit 'wonky' Only fresh out of storage, they need their wheels replaced to work on the code 75 track (and of course the photos are being cruel to the fact I 've yet to properly glue down the platforms!)
-
Can only imagine 'how' it was dismantled and removed
