FrankS Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 WOW Now THAT's what you call a fiddle-yard ! My adled brain would go into terminal meltdown trying to keep track of all those tracks - =))If you know what I mean. Quote
heirflick Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 2000 feet!, What did the salesmans face look like when you ordered that lot. Quote
A4mallard Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 i wish i could have purchased it all in one go Quote
BosKonay Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 Lol. Did you have to buy it in batches? Are you droppering regularly? Quote
A4mallard Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 I have it wired on each level and all the storage tracks are wired individually but all the rail is soldered on the joints. Quote
Warbonnet Posted October 5, 2012 Author Posted October 5, 2012 I hope it's built to American gauge! Quote
BosKonay Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Stunning ! What's the construction method? Quote
A4mallard Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 it's mounting card, it's the board the used for picture framing. metcalfe paving slabs for the corner stones and edging. the stone effect is done with fine ballast. Quote
A4mallard Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 It's based loosely on a bridge in Killenard, portarlington. Quote
A4mallard Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Fran, I installed that bridge on the layout this afternoon. your UP Gas Turbine had no problems, just eased it through, with the help of a hammer and some WD40 Quote
heirflick Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Fran,I installed that bridge on the layout this afternoon. your UP Gas Turbine had no problems, just eased it through, with the help of a hammer and some WD40 was the thud i just heard Fran hitting his head off the floor? lovely stuff brendan. good job you are still riding.....(the bike!)...otherwise you would never fit around that layout:ROFL: Quote
A4mallard Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) The kids are out so I cant be sure of what i'm posting, so hopefully all will go well. bren [video=youtube;txvf-jkutaU] Edited October 8, 2012 by Warbonnet Because I'm a sweetheart. Quote
201bhoy Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Layout's looking great! Do you have a setting or era for it? Quote
A4mallard Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 thanks, it's starting to take shape. no, i like BR, i have a lot of steam but i haven't ran it on this layout yet. my preference would be LNER Quote
Warbonnet Posted October 8, 2012 Author Posted October 8, 2012 There, that's better. Love the video of the 40, looks like you're sitting on the hill looking down... Quote
Kirley Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Lookin' good A4. Like the way the bridges are tying in the scene and the trees add that bit of realism. Quote
burnthebox Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 A4, BosKoay asked a question don't know if you got a chance to answer,which I would very much appreciate if you don't mind, " how did you handle the radii and spacing? " Quote
A4mallard Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 burnthebox, when I was originally marking out the 8x4 sheets for cutting, I marked out the track radius at the same time. I used peco track gauge for the spacing. regards bren Quote
A4mallard Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 A couple of Fran's (Warbonnet) new engines on the layout Quote
Hunslet 102 Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 Any further updates or progress report on this superb layout,it would be great to see an update Quote
