Just perfect

You can paint a uk class 170 to 'look' like a 3000 or 4000 - from a few feet away it's certainly passable

You will love them!

Bachmann 2700 DMU Larnrod Eireann for sale.
BosKonay replied to Northman's topic in For Sale or Wanted
I think Train Model's point is that it's second hand, so the price should be less than the retail shops, where you have come-back in terms of return if the item is defective, etc. -
Yer a gentleman!! The rest of ye - enter into the free baseboard competition quick smart so you can appreciate this man's amazing work! http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/1104-Win-a-free-baseboard! Closing date is next week and I heard earlier from the man himself that the odds are good :)

The Lima MK3's are still stunning even after all these years I wonder might Hornby do a run of them at some point, with the resurgence of Irish interest

The bridge is easily enough accessed, so I plan to lay the woodlands foam and lay the track as normal on top. Power will be fed from the 'outside' sides of the bridge looped through the microswitch so no need to drill the bridge. The whole lot then will, in time, be ballasted in and painted up to look like a concrete structure heirflick - a bit of both, tho DartStation of this parish is to blame for the seed of the idea :) And you are dead right about the dream and the lucky bit :)

Basically, the microswitch http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miniature_snap-action_switch will sit on the dropping section, so that when the bridge drops away, the switch loses contact. The entire bridge section and the previous track segment (outside the walls) are one isolateed section. Power to them runs through the microswitch. So, if the bridge is open, the circuit is broken and there is no power to the entire section and for 3-4 feet beyond the bridge entrance walls. Bridge closed, switch closed, circuit is powered.
-
So far this is my favourite shot I can just picture it with lighting on the bridge, the deck ballasted, the side walls painted up in concrete and a 201 at the head of a DD set powering across

Lol, nice one Broithe! The mainline is still a few metres away, working its way to the Blackroad Road branch at the moment! Will need to knuckle down and crack on to get the main loop in place before Dave is back with more boards!! (can't keep up with the man!)

Any more photos D or M ?
-
A microswitch in the closing hinge of the bridge will control power to the entire mainline section, the entire bridge and at least 3 feet either side of the wall Bridge open, no power, bridge closed, power That's the theory anyway

Bare and looking a little nude, but thought it would share how Dave crossed a 7 foot wide, top of the attic stairwell gap, giving me full use of the attic for layout!! :) If you have a wierd space, if you're not sure what to do, if you don't think a baseboard is possible!! ..... you know who to call! (Dave )

Lovely Would be a great poster to replicate in miniature

HI can't wait

Wow - the difference is both subtle and hugely impressive!
-
-
Should do Will have some photos of the bridge tomorrow!
-
Take care of yourself. Get well soon.

Just to add I'm hoping to receive my first rake in the next few weeks - will post photos on receipt
