Richard's Layout.

Very nice Polux, word of warning, I had a old Noch base and the plastic went brittle and cracked, be careful in painting.

Remember add interior lighting and also lighting under the station canopy and a couple of lamps on the platform. I presume you will also have passengers on the platform and they need to see at night when boarding.


Vollmer goes together well and the odd bit of weathering on the steps and platform (soot if you are running steamers)


If you are buying coaches do not get the longer ones as they will not be able to go round the bends etc without hitting the edges of the tunnel. Noch should provide information on this.


Can I just add to set up and test all turnouts and signals etc before adding the buildings and scenery etc as it it easier. Depends if you are having trains stopping at red signals automatically if running more than one loco at a time but not sure if your control system can do this.


Also ensure the track can be lifted in order to replace any turnout motor and decoder etc.


Over the years I have made about every mistake possible and even yet some of my wiring with the Faller funfair can go wrong.


Looks like you are well on your way to a great layout.

Thanks for looking

[geegad]

Cracking work buddy love the space it going in as well

 

[Alan 45]

That's some fine work there but it's missing a few tanks :D

 

[dave]

It's looking good, always love model railway layouts.


As for the tanks, I feel three shermans coming out of the tunnel would be appropriate :D

 

[Deleted member 3568]

Looking good. I don't think tanks, I think, it would be nice to have some giant fluffy bunnies coming out of the tunnels, you could have pixies and fairys as passengers.

Hi all.


I’ve been working the entire weekend on the layout....


I haven’t good photos to show the difference, but I repainted all the grass, the mountains and the stone walls as well.


Ironic.....I had the idea to built the track.....but I didn’t built the bridges, so.....here they are

 

[spanner570]

This is looking really nice Polux.


I would love to have a go at layout, but I am sure the actual wiring up and the like would most surely defeat me.......

 

[Polux]

Yep!!


I’ve been working on the track....but there are some wrong references (my mistake I suppose ) ....so I cannot finished it yet....


I phoned to the shop, and they said me there isn’t any problem to change the tracks. So, this Friday I will go to the city and buy new items for the electrical installation as well...


The shop man said me, too, that the “Central Station” by Marklin will work on this layout as well. Is a good notice, this digital system is excellent


Thanks for looking

[Polux]

DANGER!!!! :P


Chaps.... thought I have discovered the railway modelling....and I really love it

 

[Benhur]

Looking good. I have the Marklin Central Station which is designed mainly for Marklin or trix track. I don't do trix but if it is still available might be worth looking at. Central Station is a great control item and would be even more useful if you want to extend the layout later You did leave a siding at one end for this I hope. You will also need some matching ballast for the track.


Make sure you can move the mountain to clean the track and recover any accidents.


If you get the bug then in time consider a Marklin HO layout which of course will also go with the Central Station and scenery give greater scope for model making.


Welcome to the world of model rail but watch the cost which can grow very quickly and if need be look on here for advice before buying.


Excellent looking layout.
