OBB HOe layout "Connafeld"

[Georgeconna]

Added some Walthers HO lights to the station and engine shed. Got these ages ago and they fit right in.

What a lovely scene - well done !

I know I'm repeating myself from Darius' thread, but the lights really do add something special to the scene. A very nice layout indeed - you must be nearly there now?

Hi Folks, 

Bit of an up a down this week, The Steam loco is kaput for some reason or another. No blanking plate to test of dcc so had to order a plux 22 decoder to test if it is the decoder or otherwise. bit of a shame that, Probably need to go back to Roco for a fix. This is the 2nd issue I have had with a Roco Loco where I had to replace a motor in a barely used 1099.

On the plus side my order for a sound equipped 1099 arrived so had a little play with that. electric locos really sound weird when compared to diesels and steam! It is an upgrade of the earlier models I bought with LED lighting and cab lights. I preferred the Filament bulb glow really.

Also some passengers installed in 2 coaches, you can barely see them!

Got some viessman platform lighting kits as well and 2 cranes from Kibri. hate string being used for cables so will change that as they never hang straight down.

Sorry to bore the hole off you lads but another bit done this evening.

I chose to obtain the Viessman lighting kit, product number 6726 for €5.63 each as opposed to around €14.00 each ready to plant options. A simple, enjoyable and dare I say an exciting outcome, They all worked! one wire had come off a LED but easily soldered back on. 

Ignore the platform edge sticking up, its not glued down yet. toying with a few lights in the station building.

STUNNING! I love this layout!

[Georgeconna]

After the boring F1 decided to do more boring stuff! I wanted to add in a viewpoint of the gorge and waterfall so needed a bridge to the viewing area. Lots of gricers get up their too. The spares box was raided and came up with this. Probably overkill and you could run a panzer 4 over it rather than the odd solo hiker.

Excellent. And is so encouraging to see food retailers taking an interest

2 2nd hand luggage and passenger coaches arrived today. Hard to get so delighted with these. The wife not so much as I used her baking sieve to sieve some soil out for the layout and there was a few tiny stones stuck in it that got into the cake mix. Ooops

[Mol_PMB]

Sounds like you need your own sieve! Or is it more serious, and you now need your own flat?

She was hardly making rock buns or rocky road? 

Anyway, I hope nobody chipped a tooth
