    Kieran, Great to see you have solved the issue on the points/polarity, and hope all works fine now. The video on the steam trap, brilliant its years since I heard that, yet it still brings a chuckle. The shelving looks impressive and neat too, whats your advice on the helix? would you do it any different if you were building again, I ask this as I may consider storage roads under neath the layout in the future.TDR

    Many thanks for looking into the thread and making comments on the progress and advice. I'm seeking direction of how to position signals, their correct aspects, etc if any of you are willing to advise it would be very much appreciated, please feel free to give any contributions you feel constructive. The signals are colour light ype TDR

    Noel my understanding is the manufactures normally use a system called Tampo printing using paint to apply the required/desired numbering, logo etc, thats why I believe they are easily removed using surgical spirit. Transfers are easier to apply ,and more accurate than stensil or free hand. Give Des Sullivan "Studio Scale Models" a shout he may be able to produce specifically what you require TDR
  10. The Derry Road
    Noel, Studio Scale Models or RailtecTransfers both supply the transfers. Links to their sites are on the bottom of the main IRM page under Manufacture tab.TDR

    Guys thanks for the interesting, inspirational comments

    Andy only two pics, your teasing right.TDR

    Cotton bud and a little surgical spirit rubbing gently, be very careful not to rub to hard as it will start to remove the paint also. I've used this on numerous renumbering projects. If your still unsure try it on an old body first to perfect your techniques. TDR

    David you have to take the prescribed medications as directed. A quick seditive can be found by a Brief visit to a model shop. TDR

    Noel, i plan to do the ballasting next then detail the scenics. I'm experimenting with two types currently, quarry dust sieved to medium size and woodland scenics medium grey mix, I'm also going to try mixing both as a third option. Still not sure which will turn out to be the choice, but it will be a few weeks yet before starting, I promised myself a good running session over the next couple of days before proceeding with the next task. TDR

    Josefstadt, thank you, I'm pleased with the way its turning out so far. Yes the logs are real. Cut from twigs that fell last autumn and gathered in the local park, dried out and cut to size then glued on.

    Many thanks to everyone who took the time to look into this thread and made comments on the progress thus far. It gives great encouragement, thank you all. By Sunday I hope to have the scenery, stage "one" completed on this section on the layout. The track will then have a good cleaning and I can enjoy running sessions whilst mapping out the finer details before starting on the fiddle yard/cement, oil and molasses depots. Hopefully I'll post some more pictures on Sunday. Thanks again TDR
