ttc0169 Posted February 1, 2016 Author Posted February 1, 2016 Sorry that I missed the second half of the trip - especially the driver training at Tara Junction! Don't worry Stephen,I've your name at the top of the list for the next round of driver training and liquid refreshments afterwards. Quote
ttc0169 Posted February 10, 2016 Author Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) This evenings operations at Tara junction seen 0117071 arrive on the middle road with the Sperry train and will run around once the Arrow railcar 2601 departs from the station, On platform one 2607+2608 prepare to depart in the opposite direction with an evening commuter service. With the Loop road now clear 0117071 has a straight run through with the signaller giving the driver an amber signal ahead 0117071 approaches the Sperry train under the watchful eyes of the Shunter/Guard.

BosKonay Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Just gorgeous! The lighting is particularly good! Quote
ttc0169 Posted February 29, 2016 Author Posted February 29, 2016 A new arrival at the per-way sidings is my mini MPV 100....seen here being admired by the per-way inspector and some of his team, Another sound fitted gem from Viessmann. Quote
hurricanemk1c Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 That is a very neat looking vehicle! Quote
BosKonay Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Ohhhhh she looks right at home - and a decent 'scale' considering HO? Any chance of a running video ? Quote
The Derry Road Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Very nice Noel, hopefully see a running video soon. Great stuff. TDR Quote
Kirley Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 The PW Stable is growing, yes please to a video. Quote
popeye Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Very nice machine, get some muck on it and it would be nice to see it run. Quote
Hunslet 102 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Purchase from Glasgow!! Very nice,fits nicely into the layout and looks good Quote
ttc0169 Posted March 20, 2016 Author Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) Afternoon gents,a Sunday afternoon on the junction sees various 141/181,071 locos stable on the MPD until their next turn of duty, From the left we have CIE 084,088,IE187,behind that IR 080,IE 146 and CIE 161. Some overnight signal replacement also took place, The original signal TJ 50 has been replaced by twin signals to control movements from the bay platform and the new platform loop road, Loco 073 is seen here passing the new signal TJ 60 and TJ 61 while exiting from the platform with a stopping service formed by a Mk3 set.

jhb171achill Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 One of my favourite layouts on here - but seen "in the flesh" is just pure wow factor! Well done Noel! Quote
Hunslet 102 Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Looking good Noel,like the look of the road bridge in the distance,well done Quote
DiveController Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Love it! Really adds realism to the layout. Very impressive:trains: Quote
jhb171achill Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Working signals whether semaphore or light always add a great extra dimension of reality to a layout. One of the unique things at Tara Junction is seeing a carriage going round with a model of "The Wanderer", camera in hand, standing at an open door window in one vestibule of a Craven! Quote

ttc0169 Posted March 23, 2016 Author Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) Evening gents,thank you for all your kind comments, I have uploaded a video of the MPV 100 to my YouTube channel, However in the meantime 0117080 is seen here hauling failed 0117076 out of the siding at the station before running around and hauling it for attention to the MPD. In the background NIR blue liveried 208 works an evening stopping service thru the junction. Edited March 23, 2016 by ttc0169 Quote
The Derry Road Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Great stuff Noel and nice atmosphere in that picture. Well done. TDR Quote
Noel Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Super scene. The colours in the foreground and background are so realistic. The background looks like a photo of a life scene. 1 Quote
ttc0169 Posted April 6, 2016 Author Posted April 6, 2016 Finally getting some work done on the MPD, With thanks to baseboard Dave for supplying the tower lights-they are superb, The concrete effect is made from card and suitably weathered with weathering powders, 215,216,222 and 230 are seen here testing the new sidings. Quote
The Derry Road Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 Looking good Noel, the lighting towers are very impressive and fit in well with the authenticity of your MPD, great weathering too. Brilliant. =DTDR Quote
Hunslet 102 Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 Nice one Noel,you need a big MPD to display that large fleet of yours. My friend has those type of lights on his layout,they are mega. Tara Junction 2 is taking shape nicely Quote
ttc0169 Posted April 6, 2016 Author Posted April 6, 2016 Thanks Andy and Raymond, Here is a night time view with only the tower lights-fantastic light. Quote
