Re: My First Layout - N Gauge Denesport & Lesley Falls
[quote="BrianMoore"]Completely agree with Mike - DCC is the way to go. You'll only regret it a couple of years hence if you don't do it now. And before you start to add too many locomotives. Too many locomotives may be a bit too late :shock: - still at least I have a few to practise on!! I...

Re: My First Layout - N Gauge Denesport & Lesley Falls
Hi All, A bit of time between the last post and now however there has been some movement on the layout. On the basis of continuing with Peco code 55 I marked out the boundaries of the track bed onto the foam surface around all lines and then removed the trackwork. I then used tissue paper to pick up...

Re: BUILD A STRUCTURE CHALLENGE WINTER 2015/2016 VOTE
Well done Peter.
If nothing else I'm sure both of us gained from the experience - it does seem however that not many others did!

Re: Dean Halls Challenge 2015 N Gauge Buildings
Hi Peter,
Thank you for your kind words and help along the way - it's one thing achieving on your own but I've always felt better for being part of a team.
Did you get your cladding sorted on your roundhouse?
Regards
Dean

N Scale Modules
Hi Steve, I'm interested in being part of this SIG. I'm currently building a N Scale layout which won't necessarily lend itself to a standardised modular process however having seen the successful build process in the Model Railroader recently using 12" square modules it does seem to provide an...

Re: My First Layout - N Gauge Denesport & Lesley Falls
Hi Brian / Mike, Thank you for your kind and constructive comments. I think you are both right with regards to good ballasting and track weathering - I guess it's a bit like tiling which only looks good once the grout has been applied!! On that basis (and I won't hold you to account if it doesn't wo...

Re: My First Layout - N Gauge Denesport & Lesley Falls
Hi Koos, Thanks for the advice and direction - all you ever want to now about water features and more!! - I know have a box of Magic Water (other manufacturers stuff available!!) to try out at a convenient point. So after three days this week "managing" the kitchen fitters and having a cra...

Re: Thunder and lightning
Hi Mike, Sounds reasonable and looks impressive but where's the downpour!!! - A dry storm perhaps? I must admit that i wasn't overly impressed with the Rolling Thunder woofer demo on the net but i guess it may sound better in the flesh. I had a Fantasonics disc set as a xmas prezzie and when played ...

Re: Posting Failure
Hi Koos, Now posting from the HP laptop to see if the problem persists - a photo perhaps https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1482/25256112849_fc2d00b560_c.jpg Centre of the Interlocking by Dean Halls , on Flickr lets see if this works using preview And so it does - perhaps i should just keep the posts sh...

Re: Posting Failure
Hi Koos, Thanks for the timely response, I will try this out using the iPad without photos. I wonder if my login is just dropping out - perhaps it's because I'm waffling and it's a silent protest!!!! Well that seems to work ok. The next post will be via the laptop so that I can add photos by pasting...

Re: Dean Halls Challenge 2015 N Gauge Buildings
Well that was a long xmas break!!! This is obviously the last post prior to close of the Winter Challenge and unfortunately it finds my entry wanting and unfinished. Simply put i needed to have put in more time and this time around it didn't work out that way. That's not to say that the project didn...

Re: My First Layout - N Gauge Denesport & Lesley Falls
Real water - now that is a challenge - I had thought about it but after due consideration it seemed a step too far at this point in my budding layout building career!!! As for adjusting the plan - no harm in that at all (hopefully!) The first three aims sit quite comfortably with plug in power a mus...
