Hi guys,
Bought myself an aristo switch yesterday before the price hike on the 1st August. The RR now has 5 each of LGB radius 5 and aristo 10’ switches, which gives me 3 passing loops on the main and plenty of storage in the yard.
Here’s a shot of the yard area with loco servicing area
looking up the RR
plenty of track space
cab forward taking on water
forney on the storage track
getting a bit full
the work train
the work train crew need the right tools
last shot, just before I put it all away as the rain’s starting!
Didn’t even get to run atrain, never mind, got the whole week off work so I’m sure I will.
Cheers,
Kim
Very nice work. Do you have an overall track plan? I’d love to see it.
Hi Robert, I’ll do a photo one tomorrow from point to point - I don’t mean switch to switch!! I have no idea how to do track plans on the pc and my scanner has gone to a computer graveyard.
Cheers,
Kim
Hi Kim
Looks good.
After seeing tonights TV news you might want to think about ordering some “G” scale boats for the towns folk.
Hope your OK they where a bit vague about who was flooded out.
regards John
I love the way you’ve done the yard. You could consider it a layout in itself. It’s a great timesaver.
Hi guys, sorry about the delay in posting promised pics, I’ve been busy installing storm drains and had to pull some track up. Anyway, all back together now and it’s a lovely sunny Saturday in good old Blackpool.
The first pic is looking up the spurs towards the main
The main has 3 passing loops, the town goes on the right by the yard loco spur
the 1st loop
the 2nd loop
and the 3rd
back down to the house on a long straight
and back up to where we started
A few loco’s out later I think and off to a mates tomorrow for an open day. I’ll snap what’s going on there and post tomorrow night.
Cheers,
Kim
That’s Looking Quite nice Kim,
I kind’a really like the logo you got on that one tender there trail’in the Cabforward there at the water tower…in yer first shots there.
Byron
Hi Byron, thanks for that. The tender is an Aristo mikado for the Great Northern Railway.
Cheers,
Kim
Kim,
Great layout! I love all the detail. What type of power are you running?
Rex
That’s a very nice railroad you have there, Kim. I know you enjoy it.
Cheers lads. Rex, I mix steam & diesel from LGB, Bachmann, Aristo, USA and a couple of things that are bashed from allsorts!
Cheers,
Kim
