Hunslet 102 Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 Thanks Andy, I'm really enjoying this aspect of the hobby, it is very time consuming yet a great feeling of satisfaction making them. There are 31 signals in total to make, paint, wire and fit. So far 20 heads on posts and gantries are almost ready to wire and connect. The remaining 11 are ground shunting signals that will also work when made up and fitted. Hopefully all the time and effort will be worth the wait. TDR I admire your patience and commitment to such a fiddly project,especially the ground shunting signals! They will certainly add a nice dimension to the layout. Quote
Kirley Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Trust you had a good holiday Raymond and you are refreshed to tackle your signals project. Looking forward to seeing them in action, great work! Quote

The Derry Road Posted September 20, 2015 Author Posted September 20, 2015 Trust you had a good holiday Raymond and you are refreshed to tackle your signals project. Looking forward to seeing them in action, great work! Thanks Kieran Yes a good and enjoyable break, return to work tomorrow. Most of the signals have now been fitted with LEDs and tested. They will be in place on the layout by Thursday night and connection to the panel will start the following week with miles of cable.TDR Quote

David Holman Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Well done you. Signals add so much to a layout & can be daunting things to build. Just as well you are not using semaphores... Quote
Kirley Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Great to see motion on Rachelstown and well done for your first video. Looking forward to the 'lighting' of your signals. Quote
Hunslet 102 Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Enjoyed the video Raymond,love that black/tan era.Layout is looking great,nice scenery Quote
The Derry Road Posted October 27, 2015 Author Posted October 27, 2015 Guy's thanks for the interest and comments, connecting the signals to the panel is very time consuming and will be a while before illumination takes place, but I'm enjoying every minute TDR Quote
The Derry Road Posted October 28, 2015 Author Posted October 28, 2015 Hi I had another go at the videoing some passenger and frieght stock running on the layout https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zJVv6-wTuqo/mqdefault.jpg Passenger , bulk cement and timber wagons Enjoy Quote
The Derry Road Posted October 28, 2015 Author Posted October 28, 2015 Sorry folks I seemed to had copied the wrong link,TDR Quote

Noel Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Nice. Layout looks great. My favourite era - Black'n'tan heaven with loose coupled unbraked freight wagons. Quote
Kirley Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Did not take you long getting the hang of the video Raymond, really like the scene of the bogie cements going over the bridge, looks class. Quote
ttc0169 Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Enjoyed the video Raymond,you have achieved excellent running-look forward to many more updates. Quote
John-r Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 That's some layout,class looking,the video really sets it off brings it to life.very well done Like Kirley also like the bogie cements going over the bridge. Cheers. John. Quote
Hunslet 102 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Great video Raymond and beautiful scenery on the layout,the viaduct is awesome. Quote
DiveController Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Hopefully this works TDR Very impressive, TDR. Really liked that second video:tumbsup: Quote
The Derry Road Posted October 30, 2015 Author Posted October 30, 2015 Guys Thank you for your comments there very encouraging TDR Quote
GSR 800 Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 Fantastic vids there TDR, great to see how the layout looks in action Quote
The Derry Road Posted November 5, 2015 Author Posted November 5, 2015 Hi all and thanks for any comments made. I’ve enjoyed a good running session this last few days. Work is still ongoing on the signals, a break and side line from the fine, intricate work that is required along with patience, I have started to weather up and paint some details on the scenery and buildings as seen in the picture, I primed the stone walling and the first application has been applied to the track work. Further details and pics/Video will be posted in time. Thank you for your continued support and interest TDR Quote
Noel Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 I really like the way you have superbly managed to blend the scenery into the back-scene. Looking at that scene I can almost hear livestock baying and cockerels crowing in undergrowth as a feint and distant GM horn hints at a train on the way. Quote
burnthebox Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 TDR, those video's are just mega, sceanry is awsome, over the bridge, I thought I could see neighbours, very well done, btb Quote
Kirley Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 A tedious job doing track work which is probably why I never got round to finishing mine. Must put it on the list. The layout continues to improve, keep posting Raymond. Quote
Hunslet 102 Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 Very nice Raymond,the blending between the backscene and scenery flows very naturally.Keep up the good work Quote
Old Blarney Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Citizen, Nice work Sir. Tis up to your usual standards. Remember, when you are doing your weathering to include your cattle. Dem cattle does be frightfully clean. Do your cattle not roll or **** bhoy? Quote
Geoff Johnston Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 This is an amazing layout, I love way it has evolved and the photos of the build have been excellent. Looking forward to seeing much more... Quote
The Derry Road Posted April 5, 2016 Author Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) I have not had much time on the layout with work taking up most of it lately, so a brief picture update shows buildings painted and some new ones added. More details are ready to add time permitting. TDR Thanks for taking the time to view TDR Edited April 5, 2016 by The Derry Road Quote
BosKonay Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 Wow!!! love he feel of this - that field / hill behind the station - wow !The blending of the backscene is excellent Quote
Dave Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 Looks great Ray, everything blends together really well. Quote
