I would be inclined to go with disused shed or only in use on preservation days out to maintain steam locos TDR

What wonderful info, my wife and I have family coats of arms/crests from both families in our back sitting room. This gives us a better understanding or thier origins. Just brilliant. TDR

Like the pit scene.TDR

A daunting task Kieran, I had a similar situation earlier with two points as explained on the day you visited my layout , you advised me of this method you use and I can support your efforts and advice in this maintaince task TDR

Absolute brilliance JM, look forward to seeing it grow and develope, good luck TDR

I remember watching him being filmed walking down Shipquay Street in Derry in '93. I'm sure I have this recorded on VHS video too, must dig it out and watch it again. Can't watch it tonight as I have to work:((

Very nice indeed, more realistic.

Love the whole concept of this, good luck with the building Did you make out the signal positions yourself or are they based on actual real positions and aspects TDR

My layout (Rachelstown and St Stephens Green) is wired for three controllers as DC through DPDT centre off switches. This is for the future if I choose to convert to DCC. It would then be operable as DCC or DC at the flick of a switch, literally. However chipping approximately 140 Locos to convert to DCC is financially out of the question, having said that four already are fitted with Chips. So possibly some more my be done to have a DCC running evening/weekend. TDR

Really enjoyed following Tara junction. Look forward to mk2, good luck building, please keep the updates and accompanying stories coming TDR

Having watched the videos posted several times in response to my request I've decided to go with the woodland scenics method. The necessary components have been ordered and awaiting delivery. Will put up pictures of the progress in my layout thread. Many thanks to all contributors whom offered advice. TDR

Great thread, will be following the progress with interest, keep your posts and pictures coming, well done TDR
