Hi the stone wall has had a dark wash added so it gets in all the gaps and between the stonework. This will be weathered more using various powders. Statistics: Posted by Kevin — Thu Sep 28, 2023 11:45 am ..read more

In my search for goof-proof track, and having abandoned otherwise excellent Hornby set track, at no small expense, I hit upon easy to use, generally hard to louse up, Bachmann-EZ track. Regrettably, I did not count on the oversize flanges of my cherished old Triang and Hornby OO fouling the frogs on crossings, although they would traverse turnouts without complaint. So, with the help of a Dremel tool I ground out the frogs, and to my relief, the old Lord of the Isles made it through just fine, now. I'd really hate to shelve her as the Lord of Aisles.

I have put a trap door in on the bottom right of the photo so that I can access the track more easily (old bones and all that) and dreading trying to cut and wire later! I have to say this shot is just the basic layout, yet to lay the cork and tackle the rail ..read more

Layout has track laid and DCC bus wired up [nearly without fault] and currently has my Class 08 doing circuits to run it in. That just leaves the sensors to wire up, they’re already in situ and points to fit and wire up. R- Statistics: Posted by RogerB — Tue Sep 26, 2023 3:23 pm ..read more
