Looking brilliant!! How many trains are you running on the same loop there!
-
At times like this your arms feel the full length!

Small update: Terminus and yards now have been undercoated in a lovely shade of jet black, in advance of platform installation, ballasting and rail painting (in reverse order!)

I'd say that would work allright ;)

Wow!!!

The grey box is the stairwell below the attic. The line there will just be a viaduct . There are walls both sides of the grey box.

Using cheap NeoDymium Magnets to uncouple Kadees
BosKonay replied to BosKonay's topic in Tips & Tricks
I'm planning to use them extensively. I've ordered 200 little 3mm cube magnets identical to those in the video. Will report back with my findings! -
I think they are 30tons

Will do Have to finish drawing the freight roads

The general 'plan' of the preserved depot, from left to right, is two carriage sidings (each long enough for 6-7 coaches, a water/coal/depot crane road, two lines to a loco workshop / shed, and the turntable, allowing stock to 'pose' (some of these roads (if not all) will have sheds over them too.) The big space in the corner can house a town scene and I'm contemplating adding a 5 foot curved platform from the lower curved point back to the mainline, so the DMU fleet can drop off day-trippers...

As a firm believer in measure thrice, cut once, I've 'flipped' the steam / preservation depot and sheds into where the dock was mooted to go. After some practical evaluation, it makes more sense to have the steamers on the same level as the terminus (otherwise they may not make it up the incline to run specials! ) The shorter trains will also look fine on the 3 foot curves there. It means I can re-do the left hand design now to add a three line under gantry crane dockside terminus with a cement plant to rear ! (eventually I may run the risk of actual modelling soon!)

Stunning shots wanderer Always happy to plug your work

Heres a direct link

Great to hear it Rich

Beautiful Dave

I tend to have the opposite affliction, years of planning, tweaking changing, back to the drawing board, etc Ideally it does mean by now I know what can fit in the space, how all the wiring will work, and that once I lay it, it 'should' work
-
Looking brilliant!!! Nothing quite as rewarding as 'testing' after a lot of soldering

It also means you spend too much time on this site

lol, Certainly will, the pilot will be shunting freight trains in and out of those platforms for pick up by engines out of the shed Good idea on the through station.... there is a little wiggle room there, though I want to avoid the trackwork in that corner getting over complicated
-
Any feedback or obvious errors I can't see for looking at it too much? In operation, I hope to be able to run 3-4 trains on the mainlines, while in the steam depot, engines can be taken off shed and made into trains for heading to the terminus for specials, and there will be lots of shunting fun in the docks, and in preparing trains in the terminus itself...
-
(the whitespace behind the steam depot, and in front of the through station on the high level will probably be a semi removal board, with a small town scene) Also means that the Cement Terminal from the original plan is lost somewhat, but might 'evolve' into a dockside terminal
