The Derry Road

Richrua I also did not understand the meanings either. Until I had the concept and each signals purposes explained to me. I have also read up on this subject which gave me a basic understanding. The triangular type are for shunting movements. If you look at middle signal in the picture number 8 it is a Starter Signal for Up Line &, with feather, for movements to Branch line. the sginal on the left when complete number 12, Branch line Home Signal. Protects Station area with Route indicator to enter Up or down platform. Route Indicator box will display either U or D. to show what platform road is set, Shunting Signal for movements to Shed area. . TDR

Andy you are correct that is me, TDR

Anyone going to the Ulster Model Railway Club show in Carrickfergus on 22/23rd August. TDR

Sorry wrong thread selected, see what's on

Hunslet 102 and old blarney thank you both for your continued support and interest TDR

Richrua, running timetables and various stock movements are currently at the planning stage. I have a large variety of stock and I'm considering different running themes. For example shunting and running cement trains on St Stephens Green side and cattle wagon and mixed goods shunting and running on the Rachelstown side between the passenger traffic all of which will be tied to signal instructions. TDR

Kieran I am were possible making my own, however all the heads and leds are purchased, the brass tubing, channel, laddering and flat bar etc I got from model shops. I have several designs of brackets and gantries to construct for the various positions on the layout. Strange but I'm really enjoying this part TDR

Hi guys back at the layout after a well-deserved break from ballasting etc. next on the agenda is the signalling, with work just started on the first five, here is an update of their progress thus far, phone boxes and ID plates yet to be fitted, then painting, placing and connecting to the control panel. Also waiting fitting is the shunt signal and the theatre box for signal 12. Signals 2, 6 and 8 will be platform mounted. From left to right is, 12, 2, 8, 1 and 6. There is 31 in total to make. Couple of pics attached. TDR Thanks for viewing TDR

Great craftsmanship as usual, keep it coming.TDR

Another senior moment Leslie there is only 5 x's in Fxxxxxg

Great progress Noel:tumbsup: keep it coming=D

Looking forward to pics of your rebuild, very interesting scenes, loving it TDR

Love the engineering scene and keep the pictures coming on the progress TDR

BTB Two of the smaller tanks were picked up 2nd hand locally, the other small and the large tanks were in a Kibri set on ebay.TDR

Unfortunately I have to work this weekend, I'd loved to had been joining with the group visit, but work has to come first. Have a very enjoyable trip and day out. Lots of pics please. TDR

The silos are from parts of Kibri kits, some parts have had to be widened and or changes to height to allow the bubbles in TDR

BTB, I will be slowing down now considerably when the ballasting has had final touches, A good running session is now planned for the next week or two. I will then start work on an accurate Colour light signalling programme consisting of 31 signals as designed for me to suit the layout by another member of this forum. This will take considerable amount of time to construct/complete, however I will also be detailing the remainder of the layout as bits and pieces and time become available. watch this space.TDR

Boskonay I got these from the site below on ebayTDR http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/riversidemodels-direct

Hi Folks Update on St Stephens Green side of the layout showing stages of ballasting before during and after applications. Also showing the positions of some of the plant areas at their current state Enjoy A well deserved running secession for a week or two now, then a full implimention of colour light signalling starts TDR

Northman I to am using DC, my layout is divided into 18 section and powered by three controllers, controller a, can power any of the 18, controller b, powers both main lines and the branch line, controller c, powers the goods, engine shed,turntable and the oil and cement depots. This allows both main lines to run whilst you can shunt with a third loco. You can read about this in my layout thread, Rachelstown & St Stephens Green. The controllers are H&M Duette and clipper TDR

Superb piece of modelling Nelson. Your skills are first class, well done TDR

BTB the boards are 15mm plywod strengthened by 2/1 under. The St Stephens Green is same plywood strengthen on 25mm plywood as drawers will be fitted under shortly. TDR

Broithe is there someone in the third picture on the first wagon??? TDR

Thanks Noel and all others for the support TDR
