Re: Peterborough & Yaxley Diesel Yard New Layout oo

Update to layout

Finished laying the track on the extension side, and put some buildings in, and moved
a fuel point. Need to build the New Station which I think will be called Chatham London

Here's a pic, and another of the Blue Deltic Love that Loco.

Re: Peterborough & Yaxley Diesel Yard New Layout oo

Window in the way? No fear.. paint over it!!! :lol: Great solution, or is it just a piece of wood over the window.. I really want you to have painted the glass!! Nice work all round though, I reckon you'll be glad you did the relaying of track to have 2 lines all the way round now rather than regre...

Update to layout

I have now redeveloped this end of the dog-bone, and have the two tracks now running right round.
Now need to build the second Station 2 platforms on the other dog-bone, and install the Auto stop SA8S.

Re: Peterborough & Yaxley Diesel Yard New Layout oo

Update to layout,

I have now added a small board to the existing layout on the right of the image.
Now I have a complete dog-bone loop, I am adding another track to the dog-bone up/down line.

As you can see I can also be untidy when I want to. :)

Re: Peterborough & Yaxley Diesel Yard New Layout oo

Its a Caldercraft Kit I bought about 10 years ago, I have been working on it, on and off since then. Still plenty of work to complete it, but at least now it has a new home. Here's a link on how it should look when its finished. http://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/caldercraft_hms_cruiser.html
