Re: Diesels at Crown Point and Sovereign St.

Hi

I love the ghosts! Very amusing :)

The atmosphere in the last shot is very good. It would be easy to imagine yourself there.

Top stuff

Thanks

Re: St. Blazey's - My first layout - Stage 3 Building

Sorry to hear of your electrical gremlins.

The pasty shop looks great. I really like the interior detail and lighting.

Nice work.

Thanks

Re: Laundry Lane in OO

Hi

The wall looks very neat. Also functional. So that ticks two boxes.

The wagon rusting looks exceptional. I really like how you’ve achieved the effect.

Nice work, keep it up

Thanks

Re: MIDVILLE JUNCTION Modern 00

Thanks Glencairn . Some nice pictures there too. I do a lot of driving so I’m always trying to actually see the colours. Greens of trees and grass. Greys of tarmac, faded whites of pubs etc. I always used to paint like a child (one green for grass, black paint for tarmac etc) but then I realised I w...

Re: MIDVILLE JUNCTION Modern 00

Haha thanks Ned. Everyone loves a Hobnob! The grass is no secret. I paint the surface brown. Then put random blobs of pva down and use longer static grass. Then more blobs of glue and shorter static grass and so on. I maybe use 3 or 4 different grasses. I then go over with some different colours of ...

Re: Leicester Fosse (Central) Sishades new epic

Loving the work on the depot. The potrkabin kits look really good.

Also, where did the tall yard lights come from? They are very effective

Thanks

Re: MIDVILLE JUNCTION Modern 00

Hi everyone So after having not been in the shed for a few weeks, I decided to play trains the last two nights. I’ve been track cleaning and trying to find out where I was up to. I now have a list of things to do next: Small amount of wiring About 7 or 8 point motors to complete the yard Control pan...

Using reed switches for more than one purpose

Hi everyone I have some reed switches embedded in the track for my block modules. I was wondering if I could use the same reed switches (on different circuits) for things like signal control. I want some of them for a ‘train approaching’ light or bell as the train exits the tunnel onto stage just be...

Re: MIDVILLE JUNCTION Modern 00

Hi everyone, Not much of an update as I have been mostly wiring and rewiring some sections for block control. I also have some more point motors to fit to complete the yard. One project I have started is a little bit of scenery. We have a couple of old dead trees that have fallen. So I took some of ...

Re: Which power supply for Cobalt Alpha

I have read that. I also included that in my post.

I probably didn’t make it clear. My apologies. I would like a power supply recommending from somewhere like eBay. Maybe a link?

Thanks
Dan
