It's looking good! A lot has been achieved in a short space of time. I think I see a new bridge at the far end.. Are the buses set to make a return?

 

Yes Michael-a new bridge has been constructed at the far end-and yes the buses will make a return-they are an important feature of the layout.

That continues to be one outstanding layout! Always like to see updates.

 

Hear hear! Love this layout, its atmosphere, the scenes and its operations.

 

Was just rematching this video too. It shows very the meaning of the word "slow" on a good chassis.

Hi Noel

 

Did your 161 decoder and sound project come from DC Kits (see link below signature)?

 

I assume it is an ESU LokSound v4.0 programmed with the 071 sound project, but the engine noise from either EMD 567 16cyl NT, EMD 16cyl 645E NT, or EMD 12cyl 645E NT on ESU's download site.

IrishThump has programmed ESU decoders doing something similar. IT any words of wisdom?

 

Cheers

Noel

Late night action at the junction sees loco 190 haul two BR and a Dutch steam heating van and a Mk2 EGV on the bi-directional line past 175 on the branch set and 220 on the 10 piece Mk2 a/b set-it is destined for the loco shed in the distance where some maintenance will be carried out on them.

Some engineering works took place over the weekend at the junction, I decided to cut back on the width of the up platform 1 and install another running line alongside thereby increasing the operating flexibility of the station area, An up passenger/freight train can now serve the up platform also being looped to enable other up trains to overtake, A train can also terminate here and run around via the loop or up main line. image-3015740152.jpg 085 hauls the HOBS train along the up fast line,it will propel the train back onto the new line to discharge ballast before returning to reload.

After the departure of the HOBS train and under the watchful eyes of the permanent way inspectors tamper 751 packs and lines the newly relaid line.

Great piece of engineering Noel' date=' keep it coming. TDR[/quote']

 

Thanks Raymond.

 

Over on the opposite side of the layout,0117071 has arrived at the per-way sidings from the loco depot after being fuelled,oiled and watered,

It is about to couple up to the Sperry wagon after which the wagon will be calibrated along the down siding,and after that the wagon will be shunted and coupled to the weed-spray train for its annual tour around the layout during the coming week.

Do you get any sleep Noel. It's coming together so fast' date=' fair play for all the hard graft. It does look worth it. Rich,[/quote']

 

Thanks lads,

 

Yes Rich-a few hours in the evening can make a difference,

A street scene and bus depot are next on the list.
