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.

I never new he spent time Ireland.

I got a Railcar B file off him a couple of weeks ago, https://www.rue-d-etropal.com/3D-printing/3d_printed-irish-narrow-gauge.htm#west clare

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.

That's not all it's missing

The illusive hinge

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.

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.

Phew, as it's the only forum I am on, I thought me auld phone was giving up the ghost

Beautiful

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

I love your railgun, any closeup shots of it ?

Thank you, it's coming together I think.

A worthwhile couple of hours wireing lights,

Yup, 83mm, I try not to use my brain on a weekend.

It rises 83cm for each 360 deg of radius 3 curve, whatever gradient that is.

This one is made from a free 3D printer file,if you think you might like one and if you have access to a 3D printer, I will send you on the file, if not drop me a pm and we will get you fixed up.

Its made by Noch, a moulded building made out of some super duper foam stuff, it comes with a reasonably nice tree and a little abandoned tractor, well worth the tenner I paid for it but certainly not worth the forty or fifty retail price, The tree in the photo isn't the one that comes with it.
