I know the post has been sleeping a while but just came across these pictures.

Just added Diesel Refueling point.
Track still to oil up and dirty.

About 18 months ago I joined a local club which didn't work out and so joined another! Because of this when I had modelling time I spent it doing research, club evening's and homework for the clubs and so nothing got done on my layout and therefore decided not to rejoin for 2020, I have stayed as a ...

Yard lighting now installed (less ladders which will be fitted after more scenic ground work) https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49302867868_7454e57050_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49303354156_9ea6e13907_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49303354181_366e83bda2_b.jpg

How much would it be to buy the two Peco elements and with some careful measuring, cutting and soldering do it yourself?

I'm sure my landlord would be well impressed with that :mrgreen: If you just take out hinge screw's, so at later date it can be replaced with no damage. Curtain pole could be the expandable type like some shower curtail poles or some exercise bars. no damage to door frame. https://cdn.shopify.com/s...

You Can also think about the height of the layout, My layout is 1300mm high to make more storage underneath, fit my computer and printers underneath. This means that depending on supports for the railway bikes could fit underneath..... https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49280039668_f5e43d5591_h.jpg

You could take door off and add curtain over opening!

I am not sure as my memory say it was a Diesel Dock Shunter set in late 60's.

BUT! I have never been able to trace such a set.....

If your layout ends up 11' x 6 ' (I think that's what you mean) you will find it very hard to reach the middle and side against the wall to fit scenic's and reach any stuck trains. you may be better off with a long thin shunting yard. I started a 6 x 4 hinged to the wall on 6' side and had to scrap ...

Yes all but the led and shade which is a 3mm plastic washer

They are PLA 3D printed, then using the winding wire from an old seep motor to connect LED.

Decided on a 93mm tower plus lamp on top. took a few pictures with differing light levels, just got to complete a dozen or so more! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49182326678_1ba05cb8bd_w.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49183028282_1be07ff5dc_w.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49...

This is a 100mm mast, but with the addition of the power/telegraph cable bracket I am thinking a little shorter (5mm) so the cable carrier is the same height as the telegraph pole cable carrier! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49145711667_d962d1940c_b.jpg Yes Bufferstop I do know the final decis...

Here are two prototypes one mast without light is 110mm and the shorter one is 90mm the telegraph pole is 100mm. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49133736926_d9c7a9473c_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49133928547_6bb26fe469_b.jpg I am thinking half way between the two 100mm, What do you...
