I also got a chassis for a small porter loco, and USAT loco wheelsets from Resin de etre' thanks to you both as well,I spent the day switching hoppers and filling the yards up, the Wiffler driver was busy​

​

hi so u can draw a plan of layout and take some picture and posted here or use paintwork shop?

 

[MR SPOCK]

I had a change of plan today it was too hot to rebuild the branchline connection, till late afternoon, so I planted potatoes and beans, then decided to make a little building, ​

​

​

I had a single socket and some plastic drain pipe and found a roll of fopil tape so had a little play about​

​

​

I also started on the new gradient up to the branchline,a lot of curves and gradients to work out​

​

 

[Richie]

Nice Switch Tower Pete
Found this on my stock list check out the flat with the gens

 

[MR SPOCK]

You missed it then,​

​

​

like that long straight you have I have no ground level that I can use as the slope and shape of here prevents its use,

[MR SPOCK]

Got lots done this weekend and still another day to go,​

​

I got the connection remade to the branchline and ran some trains there, ​

cleared the branches and twiggs out ready to relay track, ​

As you can see there is still alot of repairing to do after the loggers have left,
​

today was very wet so when the deluge finally came went indoors

​

and had a beer or two,
​

 

[Richie]

Not caught up with what you've been doing for some time, Pete. Just gone through everything and am massively impressed - Great modelling, bashing, trackwork and photos - really enjoyable.

 

[MR SPOCK]

Thanks Royale and to everyone else thats helped by posting ideas and pics on here made things even more fun,​

 

[Richie]

Looks like you had a bit of a storm with all that rain you need a rain gauge on one of those hopper cars , have had no rain here for ages but it has been very windy so no trains this week end for me .
