BosKonay Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Then of course I'll have to make the mainline bus, and the accessory bus for the points, and plug in the computer and set up JMRI and a million other things before I can run anything But that's tomorrows worry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRich Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 <splutter>!!! That's on the todo list alright Eventually....... It's looking like what it is supposed to be Stephen, a Railway. Dapol catenary should do the job nicely and flow with the track. You don't shirk from the challenges that you set for yourself, and I have on occasion. Truly inspirational.

BosKonay Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Other than sticking stock down and trying to crash them, anyone any recommendations on clearance for bends? I'm using peco finescale geometry, so the tracks are quite close together (about an inch apart). So far so good, but I wonder should I separate them a bit more on some bends?

Kirley Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I have used two Mk3's on ajoining tracks to test clearances, work OK so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garfield Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I have used two Mk3's on ajoining tracks to test clearances, work OK so far. Aye... if Mk3s or De Dietrichs can pass by each other with no problem, you're in business because there won't be anything longer than that.

BosKonay Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Yep, I was hoping there was a more scientific method So far I've a pair of virgin mkIIIs that the boys 'play' with I just basically try make them hit each other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broithe Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 The tighter the bend the bigger the separation needs to be - trial runs really are the best way in the end.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro Herbie Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Agree with Kirley and Garfield, also throw two cravens and two bogie cements on the test trains, cravens are a wide beast compared to mrkIIs and mrkIIIs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BosKonay Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Thanks Guys. I had a 'gauging' train made up of a pocket, a craven, a mk3 and cement bubble (wide ladders) and a container flat behind a 201 - will do the same and drive it past some mk3s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BosKonay Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Didn't get a chance to grab a video (sorry 201, sick kids!) but did pick up a mini hoover Will lay a single slip tomorrow with the new 'plaster the glue and ballast in one step' method and take photos of each step. The crossing i tried has been cleaned and vacuumed and I'm thrilled with the results - just sorry I laid the throat without knowing how to do it first!

Glenderg Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Setanta as a lad had a fight with a dog, the one above pictured, the meanest dog in Ulster, who guarded Culanns house. Legend is that he, after Culann the local lord saw him play hurling, he invited him to his table for a feast. The dog not knowing the young Setanta went after him and the story goes that he drove a sliotar down his throat with a hurley, and the dog choked. So devestated was Culann at the loss of his dog, that Setanta vowed to take the dogs place to defend the master. Cu Chullainn means "Hound of Culann" and he went on to be a heroic, if not gruesome warrior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magpie1951 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 So is Cu Chullainn the Irish for Henry Shefflin? I always thought cúl álainn or pointe go hiontach was King Henry's name in Irish or at least that's what they always say when he is on the ball on TG4:cool:.
