  1. Ditto On the old / disabled but then again you say to the younger generation, I've forgot more then you will ever learn in life.
  2. ok heres my last video of 2015 "W H R pt 8 Autumn RunDay 23 10 2015" here all 5 lines working as the weather gets colder then the power slows so this maybe the last run of the year
  3. How I got started in trains way back in the late 50's Were I lived at the time the bottom of the garden over looked the 4 lines pic below shows about were but the old houses have been replaced by modern ones.
  4. my first bike was a BSA BANTAM 175 1968 in blue Good days like this but had the number plate on the fr/gard
  5. I agree with IanR Also thought turning it into a half moon arch like this only a idea but its your railway
  6. vent lol sorry its a vent light for path comes in dif colors and sizes and bridge looking good but agree needs to be equal from center to ends
  7. that is the roof i opened the box just for you m8 10 to 12 is correct So if you work on around 15 max you should be ok with your sizes
  8. going by that img below it around 10 to 12 cm
  9. I have some of these m8 img shows you info any good 00 (1:76)
  10. Thats all five tracks now active, just need to pin it down. Then start adding the walls to stop jumping off plus sort out the corners.
  11. yes time does fly m8 i thinking of having a play with the sound device removing the battery all together and powering from the coach or tender it sits in just need to get the correct resistor for the voltage, Then ill will have a play, but have much more other jobs on first. By the way m8 is your railway all outdoors or it covered by any thing nice layout as for the sfx sound not loud put gags on them birds
  12. looking at the width of the spindles, get some reasin mouths build around them. thats what i would do m8
  13. please added any ideas for budget ideas from any aspect of railways Loco sound on a budget these are easy to fit and cost around £40 battery operated compared the the sfx sound chips around £80+ from train-tech also found at most good model shops SFX10 Steam Sound Capsule - SFX20 Diesel Sound Capsule - available SFX Sound capsules each supplied with battery, sound tube and fitting guide SFX10 Steam Express locomotive - incl chuffs, steam, fireman coaling, whistles SFX11 Steam Freight locomotive - as SFX10 but slower heavy goods or shunting SFX20 Diesel locomotive - including turbo whine, air, horn etc with coasting SFX21 Diesel locomotive - as SFX20 but continuous after speed up - no coasting SFX30 Electric power locomotive - including motor whine, horn, etc SFX50 Diesel Multiple unit - including changes, door slams, horn SFX60 Electric Multiple unit - including motor whine, door slams, horn SFX70 Goods shunting for freight - including couplings, wheel squeels, buffers SFX80 Passenger coaches - including couplings, doors, wheel squeel
  14. Well its that time of the year again cold damp sh"t oops sorry thats normal for uk lol so winter work started indoors fixing and servicing of locos/rolling stock, serviced 18 locos still more to sort out.. Also lots of Telegraph Poles to paint plus other parts to sort out. When we get a warm day i think ill have ago @ the stations outside need wiring the lights etc. lots of reading to catch up on, and dvds to watch, so it should keep me going for a bit and popup to NYMR for a day out.
  15. Looking very nice m8 and i can see the slope better in this pic how fare you going around garden or a return loop
  16. Looking good thats one hell of a slope or the track is level and the garden/fence is sloping what are the stick things
  17. Baimor yes very soul destroying i still got to do my 5 lines with bus & droppers spent the last 2 days doing loco services and new motor replacment for the mallard soldered my bloody fingers 3 times
  18. Need any help mick i have had bit of experience with layouts
  19. Overload cut offs (Due to power surges) are intended to protect motors, controllers, and branch-circuit conductors against excessive heating (Aka runing to long) due to prolonged motor overcurrents up to and including locked motor currents. Protection of the motor and the other branch-circuit components from higher currents, due to short circuits or grounds, in other words dont run to long use the correct power supplies, and wired correctly think off it like a fuse box with a trip Also overload due to many trains runing from the same controller, When two trains are required to be controlled on separate circuits independent to each other, an additional R9060 Radio Control & Sound system must be added.

  21. not much info about only this: start with a brand new PP9 battery and keep the controller near the hut to make sure both ariels point upwards and they are both extended. The coloured handset requires a 9 Volt battery. Maybe worth checking the battery is ok. the mains transformer-power adaptor output is connected to the control house. track power cable is connected from the control building. one of it faults is that if you overload the unit it will shut down.
  22. to: mick i have a lot of time to waste m8 lol and looks like money 2 lol to: Baimor big thx m8 life here to try use and its doing a good job lol you will have to get some videos or pics of yours uploaded to: jimbob track base surpports are mainly wood but the white ones are metal poles from my old 20ftx10ft gazebo that was taken for a ride down the street last year bloody wind.. so used what i could recycled/rescued is allways the wtg, plastic pipe i tried but found due to some areas in the garden being a hot spot in the summer they seem to bend i was thing of getting square or oblong plastic piping then filling them with concrete mix, Animals love them little sh++s
  23. UPDATE W-H-R Woodside Garden Railway was vandalized by fools fence hoping the back gardens smashed station area and the 2 suspension bridges i was not a happy bunny @ all So i ripped it all down and rebuilt it over the other side of the garden
  24. After moving homes again! i start my 2nd garden railway the first one was "Bramble Line". Started planing this around nov 2014 and when the weather gave me chance i started on it in April 2015. I have named this one "WoodSide" the plan is 3 lines passing through a shed "3 circuits". i have been making a video diary on it but like anything you plan theres allways room for change as you go along. The Station area and the two suspension bridges will have a drop down cover, What you see in the video is a temporary, It's somewere to work when its windy and wet. can't have my tea getting cold .. As for power supply i have this running to the shed from the house used the caravan hookup system, fitted the socket to the outside of the house then run along fencing to shed.. as for the lights on the layout they run from 12 volt - 3 volt these are power feed via on/off operation they get there power from a old PSU from a computer as they give you the 12 volt 3.3 volt 5 volt (easy option) As for the train controller its HORNBY SELECT DCC with a power unit 15v thats the larger one to the one you get with it. running around 5 dcc locos and 3 dc locos at the same time, but as you might know 00 for dc and all controled @ the same time so spacing them you must get it right lol thank god they put that big red button there Removed the old awning as it was getting a bit wind damaged and started to leak in rain, so replaced it with a 12ft lift up cover.
