One of the most difficult thing about railway modelling has to be achieving a nice clean, neat soldered track joint. Having just soldered my track to copperclad sleepers and cut the track, although a sound solder joint, it is brute ugly!
-
This week's progress..... Took delivery of Coles yard crane Fitted guttering and downpipes by Dornaplas Fitted brass pattern makers dowels to baseboards joints Glued copperclad sleepers in position with Araldite rapid
-
I started by sticking plasticard to the underside of the copperclad strips and will then secure these to the baseboard before soldering
-
I have copper clad strips cut to solder rails at my baseboard joints. The copperclad strip is slightly thinner than the Peco sleepers. Do I pack up my strips or tin the underside if the rails with solder to correct the obvious gap of about 1.5mm.
-
Looks very promising J, looking forward to seeing this progress.
-
Looks so authentic, keep going it looks promising. I spent last weekend at Rosses Point, it is so typically Irish.
-
Yes, I've been running an old tender driven 0-6-0 with wagons and it is running really well.
-
Embankment foam cut and stuck in place. Sealed with brush coat of PVA.
-
Embankments cut - will place high density foam (Kingspan type) and form embankments after wiring. Avoiding paris plaster this time. Also managed to pick up nice Coles Yard Crane on eBay to complete the scene in yard. Flat bed lorries and crane will look well.
-
Drilled all holes today for droppers and point motors. Also installed Gaugemaster Shuttle and wiring to allow goods train to run independently in and out of goods store.
-
John, Thank you so much for your help in finding one of these cranes. At least I know what I'm looking for.
-
I'm planning on using a Gaugemaster Shuttle on the inside road that runs the entire length of the shed. Set on a timer it will also prevent locos running too far and crashing into the Buffet on the outside of the store entrance.

Looks fantastic Warb
-
Track laid today and wired temporarily. It is a very simple shunting line that resembles Omagh after a lot of post 1957 changes when a double crossing was lifted at the cattle dock and Point removed exiting the store.
-
You are a real gentleman, Thank you so much. Couldn't be better.
-
I am remembering a couple of UTA buses to suit my layout. I wonder if anyone has an old UTA Bus timetable that would show bus locations and route numbers so I can be as authentic ad possible.
-
I haven't seen a yard crane like this one on rubber tyres so maybe I'll have to scratchbuilt using parts from other products.....
-
Lovely scene Patrick, the well landscaped scene creates an impression of depth, I love it
-
Some nice views of Omagh Goods Store....
-
Belmullet is a lovely name for this new revised project, good luck with it.
-
Thanks folks, I think the next step is to play around with my track work.
-
Another bit of detail added using Slaters lettering. As was with the original Goods Store, stonemason Phelix McRory cut a stone with the date 1955, when the original roof was lowered.
-
Time to look at the track layout again and see how all this can work.
-
Final touches to roof, to me it's done. Time to move onto the next stage. Thanks for all the advice, encouragement and feedback.
