Just stunning

Sweet baby Santa Claus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice one!
-
Great info snapper!

Maybe tomorrow

Thanks Guys. I had a 'gauging' train made up of a pocket, a craven, a mk3 and cement bubble (wide ladders) and a container flat behind a 201 - will do the same and drive it past some mk3s
-
Kirley - really sorry but could you email me again (or point me to a link online?) I seem to have lost a chunk of email
-
hmm, I thought I'd uploaded them too..... sorry, will check
-
Highly recommended I've one on the wall over Amiens Street - full of inspiration
-
Yep, I was hoping there was a more scientific method So far I've a pair of virgin mkIIIs that the boys 'play' with I just basically try make them hit each other
-
Other than sticking stock down and trying to crash them, anyone any recommendations on clearance for bends? I'm using peco finescale geometry, so the tracks are quite close together (about an inch apart). So far so good, but I wonder should I separate them a bit more on some bends?
-
hear hear As good as reason as any to put it off. Procrastination is yer only man!
-
<splutter>!!! That's on the todo list alright Eventually.......
-
Then of course I'll have to make the mainline bus, and the accessory bus for the points, and plug in the computer and set up JMRI and a million other things before I can run anything But that's tomorrows worry
-
Not at all, I find the iphone seems to compress the field from some angles! I could of course say that I'm aiming for a 'no straight lines' model :) Covers a multitude of sins :) Thanks a million for the feedback guys! Hope tomorrow to get the last few points in the throat laid and this section of mainline from the throat to the lift out section laid, then move directly on to starting the same over the viaduct! With a bit of luck, i should have powered track running over the viaduct by the middle of next week
-
As you can see, I need to turn more sharply after the throat to avoid those sidings (hindsight of course would have left them out, or reduced to one). Once cleared, the track gently realigns with the crossing in the foreground.
-
I need a slight S to align the junction at the throat with the junction in the foreground The track basically turns after the throat junction, then takes a sweeping curve to meet the next junction - the photos make it seem a bit more abrupt maybe than it is - the entire wave is about 8 feet
-
Timber train has cleared the line In prep for track laying and the start of the curve to the left ahead, heading for the lift-out section in front of the door, before the viaduct! Too wavy?

:Groan:

Absolutely stunning! We really are in a golden age of Irish modelling!
-
Glenderg - good idea - I'm going to lay more points and straights with this new method, so will snap photos of the steps. Wrenn - - I actually had to go back and look at the photo to see what you meant :) Very funny That's the TooBEToo Special

Second little job was sticking down the underlay for the sweep of mainline in front of the terminus, swinging off to the left in the distance.
-
Finishing the junction at the mouth of the station, thought I'd try a new approach on the ballasting. For this crossover, I plastered the underlay with glue, then stuck the crossing down, poking the wires through the pre-drilled holes. Then liberally poured ballast all over, 'tamping' it down with a finger. A few hours later and the excess brushed off it looks like this - not bad at all, no ballast on track, on the rails, etc, and very very easy! Will invest in a little hand held hoover methinks - but an excellent way to ballast points and crossings 'as you go'!
