The Derry Road Posted June 18, 2021 Author Share Posted June 18, 2021 Hi all Just a quick update showing recent vehicle additions and using up left over bits and pieces of plastic parts and card to make up part of depot stores and signals workshops and stores. Also a quick peek at some new signals and gantries I’m constructing using plastic card, left over ratio parts and some scale model scenery walkways, with all working signals. Just have a little more work to do on some parts, then fit and connect to control panel, Thanks for looking in TDR 16 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Derry Road Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 Hi All, Just thought I’d share a few pictures and short video of my railway Den. Spend most of today tidying under baseboards, so during the coming winter months I can finish installing and electrifying the remainder of points and signals also finish constructing the drawer system under the boards where twelve 2ft x 2ft drawers will hopefully house the remaining stock. Hope you enjoy TDR 866975274_Denvid.mp4 7 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
