BR O Gauge Diesel Depot
Irishrailwayman replied to Irishrailwayman's topic in British Outline Modelling
Once the position of the point motors is known, a 10mm hole is drilled for the actuating wire. Next the cross pieces can be glued in place using the hot-glue gun and all interfaces taped with glass-fibre tape which is then saturated with No-nonsense PVA. This results in a light but strong baseboard.- 39 replies

BR O Gauge Diesel Depot
Irishrailwayman replied to Irishrailwayman's topic in British Outline Modelling
We selected the Heljan O Gauge Modern Depot kit to form the centrepiece for the layout. This was to enable us to plan out the track layout on the boards precisely. The kit goes together fairly well using poly liquid cement although lack of kit precision means that some gaps between sections will need to be masked with styrene strips. So, the project so far:- 39 replies

I am helping a friend develop an O Gauge British Rail outline exhibition layout based in part on my recent OO Diesel Depot. We have started by developing three baseboards using the same techniques namely 6 mm Scandinavian birch plywood 100 mm lengths hot-glued to the underside of the baseboard. The end cheeks were formed from two sections of 6 m plywood stuck together with wood glue before using a pillar-drill to precisely mark the dowel points. Metal dowels were fitted to precisely line up the boards for quick assembly.

Diesel Depot is remotely controlled by the Roco/Fleischmann Z21 DCC system via a tablet allowing the locos to be controlled on one half of the screen and the points/turnouts on the other. This means that the layout can be controlled from the front enabling better interaction with visitors at exhibitions!

Alphagraphix card station Ballyconnell
Irishrailwayman replied to PorkyP's topic in Buildings and kits of buildings
I used more than 20 Alphagraphix kits for my "Ballybeg" layout in OO. The wagon kits work well too in this scale.- 18 replies

Headhunters Barber Shop and Railway Museum is situated on Darling Street in Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh just around the corner from the Cathedral Hall where Erne MRC hold their annual exhibition. The museum has been mentioned in posts on IRM previously but I thought I would share a few photos of some of the huge collection of material which is beautifully presented in this building. Well worth a visit if you are ever at the exhibition or in the area.
