    I have just ordered 3 of their C Class kits, already have a C and an A, they are cheap, so I don't mind drilling holes, adding handrails, drilling out the side windows and weathering them, things which I probably wouldn't do the the IRM's, pity they discontinued the A class,

    The problem with a subterrane yard is not having any idea what's going on under there, problem solved. CCTV

    I found these things in Sostrene Grenes ( posh flying tiger ) for a fiver, that's all of my hedging needs taken care of.

    Following your progress with great interest.

    this stuff is cheap and it goes a long way, you can get it in most hardware shops.

    Worth a mention ,is the radius reduces with the curve, I get away with radius 2 and 3, but 1 causes problems.

    They can be frustrating alright, mine is scratch built, but the same general idea of threaded rods and lots and lots of bolts. It's my second helix so nowhere near as frustrating as the first one was. Older locos with traction tyres don't do so well on them, I replaced the tyres with an American stuff called Bullfrog Snot, it makes for a serious reduction in wheel slippage. Will post a pic later when I clear all the tools and whatnot off it.

    Just spent my day building one of those myself, Yours is a little neater than mine

    Work has commence on the second helix, supports are 6mm threaded rods, B&Q horizontal supports are 2mm ply, I lay the track as I go in order to check running and clearance, the idea is to take trains from the subterrane fiddle yard up to the scenic level, I think I mentioned it somewhere before, so I can run end to end, tail chaser or combination, which ever I feel like doing at the time, more to follow.

    Ya think that is good, on the left just out of frame it's held up with a 2 ltr coke bottle, hay whatever works, planning a trip to the scrap yard to get a couple of bonnet holdy open bars, can't think of what they are called just now

    Sub terrain fiddle yard opened up for access.

    The illusive hinge
  16. dropshort105
    Thanks, and the top of the main baseboard opens up for access to the sub terrain fiddle yard, the fence and hedge on the track side of the road are hiding a hinge which runs the full length.

    I have one of those awaiting construction too.
  18. dropshort105
    Wow, I am honoured, I have 10 of your wonderful double beet wagons awaiting construction, can't wait to get stuck in.

    Hay, are you Mr. Provincial Wagons ?

    Thank you, I'm really enjoying it, I was going to put a little farm in that space but changed my mind because I couldn't figure out how to extend the stream into the backdrop, the bridge was the answer, then I didn't have room for the farm

    A little more work on the scenery, 3d printed ruined cottage and Scale Model Scenery humped back bridge.

  23. dropshort105

  24. dropshort105
    I'm building one of these Scale Model Scenics buildings, it occurred to me that they could be turned into lovely derelicts .
