Dave Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Excellent! Really taking shape. The trees look great. Quote
Horsetan Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Until I saw the photos of the fiddle yard, I actually thought this was going to be 21mm gauge. The scenery so far is certainly worthy of it. Almost makes you wish there was going to be enough space to model the oul Ormonde Cinema at Greystones. Quote
The Derry Road Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Loving this layout, its really coming together, well done TDR Quote

murrayec Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Hi CM Here is that link to Timber Train photos, they are bogie wagons but it's the colours we are what we are interested in, oh and the ladder;- http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/3135-Detail-pictiures-of-log-wagons-at-Kildare-21-April?p=49498&viewfull=1#post49498 Eoin Quote
closetmodeller Posted December 5, 2015 Author Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) We got our "Portaloos" today. Additional supplies of fuel also arrived. An off-shore wind whipped up small waves. Tesco made a delivery, too. Detail of sand and sea, perhaps threatening some coastal erosion? For those who might be interested in the movement sequence at the Greystones Model, it follows here-under. Effectively, the station has to serve as a passing loop for all traffic between Bray and Wicklow. Surprisingly, I have yet to complete the whole sequence without a hitch! At the moment no times are specified, but that will follow. Movement Sequence at Greystones Station. 1. Down Dart arrives Down platform 2. Up Wicklow Commuter arrives Up Platform 3. Up Wicklow Commuter departs Bray 4. Down Dart moves to Up Platform 5. Down Commuter arrives Down Platform 6. Up Dart Departs Bray 7. Up Timber empty arrives Up Platform 8. Down Commuter departs Wicklow 9. Up Timber reverses empties into Timber Yard siding 10. Up Timber divides empties between both yard sidings 11. Down Dart arrives Up platform 12. Up Dart departs Up platform 13. Timber loco shunts loaded wagons together 14. Down Commuter arrives Up Platform 15. Down Commuter departs Wicklow 16. Up Timber departs siding to Greystones Down Platform 17. Timber loco detaches from train and uses Up loop to go around train. 18. Down Timber loco attaches to train and departs Wicklow 19. Down Dart arrives Up platform 20. Up Dart departs Bray Edited December 6, 2015 by closetmodeller Quote

closetmodeller Posted December 20, 2015 Author Posted December 20, 2015 First attempts to lay some grass A nice ripple effect from an onshore breeze Quote
Noel Posted December 20, 2015 Posted December 20, 2015 Just love this beach! Yip it makes me want to launch the sailing dinghy Quote
craven1508 Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 very very good!! this is top class, well done. Quote
closetmodeller Posted January 25, 2016 Author Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) General view showing the new buffers. These are made from parts created with our 3D printer. As well as new orange buffers, the yard has been made more secure, by the addition of new fencing. Who threw that fuel barrel over the wall? Work continuing on the southern fiddle yard. The left hand track will also serve as storage for the DART, held overnight in order to provide an early morning sevice to Dublin. Edited January 25, 2016 by closetmodeller Quote
GSR 800 Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Very nice. The layout is really coming together. Quote
jhb171achill Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 The barrel over the wall? it was me who threw it there. Quote

Junctionmad Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 I like the chain link fencing, "from whence did you source said fence, young sir" Dave Quote
GSR 800 Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Down with this sort of thing! Careful now.. Quote
Dave Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Looks great, love the fence. The buffers look superb! Quote
murrayec Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 I like the chain link fencing, "from whence did you source said fence, young sir" Hi It's home spun- .8mm piano wire soldered up with U-POL aluminium reinforcing mesh for car body repair epoxied on, I've a few little 'CIE NO Trespass' signs, barbed wire on the top, and some weathering to go on yet...

murrayec Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Hi I was by the Greystones Layout dropping off some trees and to fix up the track in the timber yard, here is a few shots in the daylight;- Eoin Quote
closetmodeller Posted January 29, 2016 Author Posted January 29, 2016 Nice shots, Eoin. I think somebody has moved that damned barrel! Quote
murrayec Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 Hi All Well now I'm sure you noticed things are moving along slowly what with other commitments and the like.... but here are a few shots taken today of the concrete paved surface of the timber yard. As seen in previous posts the surface is cardboard with several coats of coloured plaster, the replica joints are knife cuts with a soft pencil line run in the cut, lead pencil dust is also smeared around to give contrasting effect More layers later...
