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'!

Ah now that's just gorgeous!
-
Stunning plan Patrick - all you have to do now is build it!! :)

Am busy laying track for them
-
Just as soon as I get it <stares at the lads> Those photos are from it still on the workbench She'll hopefully be mine, all mine in a few days Platforms are prepped and ready and the track cleaned

Curious, looks like the tankers went on the flats.... issues with putting the tanks in the pockets?

As good as, if not better than, a factory produced model!

And a moody night-time shot!

Hot on the heels of the DMUs the lads have created another instant classic! What an utter beauty!!
-
Thanks for the encouragement lads, for me the posts are as much a diary as anything else I get an hour here, two hours there, sometimes going a week or two without any time, so keeping a log and taking snaps helps remind me where I left off and what I'm actually getting done
-
Thanks Rich, I worry sometimes I'm boring the pants off people with too many 'work in progress' shots and not enough 'trains'
-
Me neither! The radius across the viaduct is just around 1 meter, and I plan to superelevate the running lines too, so the DD set should look lovely sweeping around the curve
-
Sorry for the photos! Forgot to put on the lights!
-
Managed to make lots of invisible progress today Soldered droppers to 12 lengths of flex track and 6 points Cleared and started layout for the mainline and drilled all the holes for the last few points at the terminus junction, and mocked up some track over the viaduct

They look like a stunning little freight rake! What donor us under the D303?
