Allenik TMD 80's to present day Diesel OO layout

[DELTIC MAN]

Hi Everyone

this is my permanent layout which is under construction the layout has the following in the plans:-

Freight Yard
TMD
Large depot based on Wigan Springs Branch (building to be built proffessionally)
Network depot
Multi layer with a helix
Lower level storage
High level station and country area

The layout will be DCC and all diesel ranging from the 80's through to current day. Most locos are resprays/renumbers and weather/detailed. The layout is new but built on boards belonging to my previous layout.

Here are some photos so far:-

So to bring you all up todate:-

-New triangle board has arrived for the main depot
-track has been laid on the main line, freight yard and small depots.
-yard lights tried in place just need to wire them now
- started in the incline up to the high level

Here are a few pics with some locos on the layout:

That is mighty impressive mate!

The helix looks great and well thought out. Good luck with the build, I'll keep an eye on this one.

Fantastic amount of space you have there & you've used it well. Must have taken a lot of planning.

I love the sweeping curves. Too many modellers try too fill straight lines right into the corners, leaving too tight a radi. I unfortunately have a couple of those due to poor planning lol

WOW Deltic Man, that's going to be one huge layout. I don't know but are you planing on having a station and running big hst's etc
Do you have a track plan at all?
How many locos do you have?

Hi 413x

Thanks for the comments. there will be a station up on the next level when I build it. I have a great central set and a network rail set HSt so I will run them (they are currently in a box with my other stock at them moment.

I have to admit I have about 350 locos mainly 37's and 60's as well as having a large DRS fleet, once i have built a bit more of the layout I will get them on and photo them.

Just a thought here are some of my locos on my previous half built layout

Well Summer is here the olympics have nearly finished so I thought in this heat lets do some more modelling, doh!


But anyway I started so I finished. With much frustration and fiddling i have managed to get the freight yard and loco stabling point lit up with the yard lights from express models and r3sprays all good lights.


So here we are a couple of piccis showing progress (also thought I would put a couple of pictures of some of the locos in the MPD sidings

Not much progress at the moment but I have fitted the boards in place for the station which are on the upper level so just need to decide on a track plan.
