GSR 800 Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Hi so i am new to the forum. i am planning to build a layout in a shed that has no other purpose:).My old layout was beginning to feel to small and had only british stock:puke:also my Dad did not want any more space taken up so i am moving out.I hope to have a small terminus and engine shed.No pics yet as the boards havent even arrived!

GSR 800 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) Hi Kinarva . I hope they wont be to long. my layout is set in the early 50s . Westy is sending a kit of my beloved loco:x (guess which one!)also doing some conversions.Not great or historically accruarate but will do for now.I will post an image of a fictous 0-4-0 painted green:D Its not lined or numbered yet and is really only a testbed Edited March 3, 2015 by GSR 800 Quote

GSR 800 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 sorry lads no pics at the moment:((the images wont come up. anyway basic design is amiens street/glanmire road shed and a few bits and bobs. the terminus will have 2 arrival platforms 2 departure platforms 1 celtic express platform and 1 baltrane express platform. the latter is named after a great friend of mine who got me into irish railways in the firstplace but has sadly passed away.If it were not for him i wouldnt be here on this forum or into railways Quote
GSR 800 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 Whats that? oh just the best of steam Eire has to offer! Quote
GSR 800 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 Chances are somewhere in every blog of mine she will show up Quote

GSR 800 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 That old thing?No thats the dog kennel;) Quote
GSR 800 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 I know this is a big thing to ask but could someone do a kind of template for Kedliston. I just dont have autocad. Also u guys are alot more experienced than me. Quote
Warbonnet Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 I know this is a big thing to ask but could someone do a kind of template for Kedliston. I just dont have autocad. Also u guys are alot more experienced than me. I find that there is no substitute for pen and a bit of paper. You might not be happy with something unless you design it yourself. Quote
Garfield Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 I suppose so. thanks By all means, sketch something up and then post it here if you need further assistance or advice on the design... Quote
GSR 800 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 This is my design for the terminus.Very rough and frankly,hideous. but its a start Quote
burnthebox Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Hi GSR 800 what size are you planning on having for your layout, btw, best of luck Quote
GSR 800 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 Well the boards will go round the shed. each board is 10x2. Quote
GSR 800 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 Need some advice. how many roads should an engine shed serving a large terminus have Quote
GSR 800 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 Thanks Bos but i think i will go with 4. didnt Connolly have 4 until the 60s? Quote

GSR 800 Posted March 4, 2015 Author Posted March 4, 2015 Im thinking it will look like a scaled down glanmire road shed but where shall i put the turntable? Quote
