Thu. 8/08/2024 ~ Some tricky N scale track laying half in a tunnel. Consisted of a point which splits to two tracks which have an isolated track joiner. Since the N scale will be both either DC or DCC the loops need to be isolated for DC otherwise all the trains will move. The track is being laid with no sleeper gaps unlike often what you see they way model railway track is normally done the lazy way. No comin back later to slide in a few sleepers.

01/08/2024

Small loop complete on the N scale ~ Thursday, 1/08/2024. BUS wire modified.

We'll follow this layout in great detail. We hope to do a LIVE feed with an interview with Robert who is skillfully cafting this layout for a sole purpose ~ slightly different than what you'd think. Stay tuned for the details coming soon! having a few layouts now under his 'belt' ~ the task here is more or less a 'walk in the park'.

Hobby Shed: Tuesday 19/07/2024 ~ Robert working on a new mobile layout.

FLASHBACK WEDNESDAY

================
Yes we know it's an oldie ~ but if you could combine all the hours which has gone into the HO/OO layout to what you see today we would be in the 100's if not 1000's. It's more or less been worked on every Tuesday and Thursday for the last 4 years.

Tuesday 2/07/2024 ~ N scale works. The old yard and mountain got ripped up for the new design. This will facilitate a much easier area to mould in our thoughts as to getting it right for the long term. Noel and Pete C. today did some heavy bulk earthworks. Looking good.

Thu. 20/06/2024 ~ N scale works today. On the layout we had Peter W., Andrew S., Noel E., and Pete C. Great effort by everyone.

Peter W. trimmed the Left Back edge to allow for a wider double track base. Although planned for two tracks, the picture below shows three.

On testing we found some other track needs replacing. But can be easily done. Remember we are doing all this works for the long term.

When in DC mode such the points have been modified as DCC friendly ~ we need to have isolated track sections with switches for running multiple trains. Otherwise they all run together.

Thursday 11/01/2024 ~ Here we have two trains running on the dual 45 metre loop. A passenger Tangara and a short Coaly.
It’s great for operator experience as the train goes totally out of sight on the new section of the railway unless you stand up and look 👀 over the mountain ⛰️

Everyone is encouraged to use the set-up and staging yard at the rear of the train room.

During hot 🥵 days the train room door maybe closed with A/C on. We also have ceiling fans to circulate the air.
