If you've lots of stock and don't want to spend your time boxing and unboxing, then yes, a yard is ideal - but you can also go the 'scenic' options and build yards and sidings on the layout (scenic fiddle yard) and store / stable your rakes and locos on the layout...

Fantastic!!!

Just stunning! Is it static gras, or how did you build it up! Is the overgrown siding still usable?

That bridge is a lovely thing - how was it constructed?

Staggeringly good is simply an understatement!

Constantly impressed with your speed and work ttc! She's only looking mighty!

Pretty thing

And €75 for three wagons is a good price these days, particularly a factory produced 'irish' one.

What beauties! The layout just keeps getting better better - lovely work!

http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/4928-How-to-add-photos-and-images-to-your-posts-and-threads?p=75399#post75399 Let me know if any of it is confusing, or any steps missing?!

Here is a (brief) tutorial on how you can post images, photos and diagrams with your replies and new threads. First of all, you need to ensure the images are in a format the site likes. Generally if you have used your phone or camera to take the photos, all will be well, but the forum limits are: Formats: jpg, jpeg, jpe, gif, png Image Sizes: Max of 1024x768 File Size: 4MB Generally, most common images will fall into one of the formats above, and the sizes above, without you having to worry about it. In some cases, (if you use a high end camera typically) the image size will need to be reduced in your favourite image editor. To add an image to the community, the first step is to click the small Image Icon. you;ll find it everywhere you have the option to add content (quick reply, advanced reply, new post, new thread, etc) Once the popup appears you have two options. If the image is already online, or you are linking it from someplace else on the web, simply paste the URL / Address in the box below. You can optionally click to have the forum download a copy of the image and store it locally. Otherwise, click the From Computer Tab, then click Select Files: A windows will open letting you browse your computer, simply browse to the image files, and select them (you can pick one, or a group at once) Then , once you have the images listed like above, click to Upload. You'll then be back in your post with lines like: [ ATTA CH CONFIG]20105[ / ATTACH ] In your post. Each of these is one of your images

I'll sort that out

Sure if we ever got finished, we'd probably have to rip it up and start again Lovely feel to this one, keep em coming

Patrick - wow! Could you please share with us a few 'mini' tutorials on your landscaping and general bushes / irishness 'Nailed it' doesnt quite go far enough!

Thanks Irish Rail 0- - as always, lots to do, but the cooler, darker evenings mean the lure of the attic grows stronger

Great Idea Glenderg! I'm already glued to the screen waiting for the masking tape tutorial -groan-

Hi Noel, I broke out some details in a new post here: http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/4921-Cobalt-Point-Motors-%28and-Cobalt-Digital%29?p=75316#post75316

Breaking this out from Amiens Street, from Noel I'm still a fan, to start with Since installation back here: http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/4-Amiens-Street-Terminus?p=14759&viewfull=1#post14759 They've not given a moments trouble, bar some initial voltage issues which made them problematic to programme. Since then, DCC Concepts have 'updated' the motor, and branded it http://www.dccconcepts.com/catalogue/a/Point-Motors-Cobalt-iP-Digital The new version is self-centred and handles the voltage issues better. On the Peco point adaptations, yes, I use electrofrogs, which need a few 'tweaks'. Here is how I do mine: On the motors themselves, check the documentation (which is excellent) on the link above. It details how they wire up, how to control them, how to build a control panel with levels or buttons/leds and how to use them in an offset or in pairs for crossings. I fitted all mine using the available foam pads, not a bother in 3 years and counting...

The station is a Metcalf station building, built from a kit I've had from yonks ago, and spruced up with some posters, and IE signage. I've also fitted interiors (plaster ceilings, interior lights, painted walls, etc, etc which will hopefully look nice with all the lights on! The platforms are Hornby plastic yokes wallpapered with building sheets... This terminus and quarry / cement terminus has been claimed by Son no.1 so we're straying a tad from prototype so he can have more fun with it Son no.2 is getting a mini whitehead whether he likes it or not

Am still -slowly- working away in the background... Latest project underway is the little terminus at the Quarry... Just plonked for now, pending drilling for the lighting droppers, etc. eventually... will have a proper update!

Just stunningly crisp photos

A massive inspiration as always! Your pace is incredible!
