The Derry Road Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 Thanks for the comments guys, much appreciated, hopefully the extra work will slow down by the end of the month followed by a short break somewhere hot. Then back full on at the layout here's hoping.:tumbsup:TDR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhb171achill Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Excellent stuff. I like the farmer's trailer and cattle - a very familiar scene at most rural stations, and on account of being gone for over forty years now, rarely modelled. The "mechanical horse" also adds a nice touch. Lovely layout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Track work was airbrushed were accessible remainder by brush . The colour is railmatch sleeper grime. Other detailing and colours have yet to be added to the track in time. Hope this helps.

richrua Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I love this. The detail is super and the ballast is great. Lots of little details but also a great feeling of space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Derry Road Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) Hi all, not been at the layout much for about two months, with work again taking priority, all back to normal now, a visit to the layout two weeks ago by Kirley spurred me to have a running day of motive power, this took in most diesel locos including A, C, Hunslett, 121, 141, 181, 071, 111 and 201 classes all in turn running light engine, I’ve also taken some video footage of stock running, this will be posted up when edited.

The Derry Road Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 Hi everyone, finally got back to the layout, have now installed the DCC system and its fab, Im really pleased and impressed. I ran a few locos this morning to test out and recorded them on my phone, i will post up later the short film, sound included, TDR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Derry Road Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 Hi All, This is just a short piece of film showing five locos, 071, 141, 201, 111 and a hunslett in construction stage running to test out the sounds, to date I’ve converted around 20 plus locos to DCC thus far, and enjoying every minute. Difficult to hold a phone whilst filming and a throttle on the other controlling My only regret is, Should had converted the layout earlier. Enjoy TDR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 The locos look really well on the layout. Glad you've enjoyed the switch to DCC and sound. It adds a whole new dimension to driving model trains. Layout looks really well. I love the walls and green foliage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
