Portoman Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Finally the launch of my layout.Based on nowhere and running anything.My engines are all MM but most of my fleet is u.k stock but I will try irishise them. It is a work in progress.Have most of the track laid but fine tweaking it especially the wiring. At the moment all points are hand operated until I figure out the wiring. Little or no scenery down until I'm happy with layout. With all the other great layouts seen here, its a hard act to follow. Its taken me nearly 35 yrs to get this far. I have it the attic which is'nt ideal. I'd love a man shed !! Attic is not ideal as I have a chimney in the middle and have those roof supports also in the way so can't see half the layout at any one time. I have a little video which isn't up to much. Did it to see if I could post it here so apologies and will try a better one soon.[video=youtube_share;DVMJQhqi944] ...Dave Quote
Dave Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Nice work Dave, love the idea of using the mini mesh for fencing. Very effective. Quote
Kirley Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Something very therapeutic about watching long trains run. Great start. Hope to see more of the layout on the next posting. Quote
John-r Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Looking good dave, nice collection,I bet it's nice to at least watch something moving. Quote
burnthebox Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Well done Greyfields, that's looking just mega, at least you have a layout, even if it is in the attic, lots going on there, keep the video's & pics coming, Quote
Noel Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Really enjoyed that video and your new layout. Looks really well and should be very interesting to operate. Love the long trains and scale speed. Quote
heirflick Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 well done - excellent so far and looking forward to seeing more! Quote
StevieB Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 You've obviously got the space to run reasonable length trains - lucky guy. Stephen Quote
richrua Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Super work with lots of potential in the future. Plenty of busy sidings! Making me have a rethink! Well done. Quote
burnthebox Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Portoman, forgot to ask, what length, width is your layout please, just love the slow running of those, Quote
The Derry Road Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 Dave, love the long trains, and slow running Quote
Portoman Posted June 24, 2015 Author Posted June 24, 2015 Work commencing on new rural station which will be a single platform stop. It will take a 4 carriage train. Heavy cranes arrive to assist. Quote
burnthebox Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Well Portoman, so that's where you've been " working " very well done, looks great, Quote
Garfield Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Now that looks like one serious engineering project... looking forward to seeing it progress! Quote
The Derry Road Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Love the engineering scene and keep the pictures coming on the progress TDR Quote
Portoman Posted September 17, 2015 Author Posted September 17, 2015 just a few pics of the layout - progressing slowly -mostly now scenic touch ups , weathering etc - should keep me occupied for the next few years !!! There's a lot to do, but that's what I like about the hobby - your never finishedor at least Im never !! Quote
Noel Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 [ATTACH=CONFIG]20094[/ATTACH] Looking good. I particularly like that last photo scene. There's a lot to do, but that's what I like about the hobby - your never finishedor at least Im never !! Your dead right. I'm 22 years at our layout and I haven't even got near the beginning of the end, put perhaps nearing the end of the beginning thanks to inspiration from the incredible railway modellers on this forum.

BosKonay Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Sure if we ever got finished, we'd probably have to rip it up and start again Lovely feel to this one, keep em coming Quote
Portoman Posted October 30, 2015 Author Posted October 30, 2015 Just a few images from the layout. Was up in the attic so decided to take a few snaps. Have'nt had much chance of late to do anything. Quote
richrua Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 looking great . nice ballasting work there ! Quote
