Nice videos, Mart. Well done with that substantial progress on construction work. Hope the spring weather helps you get on with the outside section soon, as those trains are looking forward to getting out into the fresh air!

2nd job my first attempt at fitting a live pantograph this i fitted to a old TRIANG HORNBY RPD TRANSCONTINENTAL loco. removed the plastic one and fitted the No maker's marked one, but i think probably Jouef one, power feed to motor removed replaced power feed from brush to the under side of the pantograph, the main feed to track diverted to the overhead cable. The track return left to track and motor pickup

This is a fascinating layout and reminds me of 'The Weekend Railway' which featured regularly on the forum a while back. I hope I'm not repeating myself but I'm sure I could never do anything like this - I couldn't get my head round the way it all fits together. I have all on with just a single track let alone one that resembles an entire railway system.

You deserve a heap of credit for the way you've reused materials and incorporated everything into one truly magnificent layout. I also admire the fact that you get so much use out of models that have since been superseded. It seems absolutely nothing is laid to waste. This is a great way to run a model railway especially when I consider all the trouble and aggravations I've had with much more recent models. It just shows that I over complicate things.

Great stuff Mart and great videos too. Look forward to seeing more.

Happy new year 2017Mart, you must of being good to get that many locos and the old timers are well, well done, more pics please .

I thought I did well when I bought a box of trains from a Lifeline store for $40 I only have one train I kecpted is the Lima XPT set was two sets of them, I bought some more coaches to make up a 9 car train and bot locos powers still runs well today.

I am doing a scene like you are doing, in America Union Pacific in one of their main yards have on top of a hill two famous locos the Big Boy, have to check the running number, the first DD40AX 6900, the big boy I have is a Revel 87 scale kit and I bought a Bachmann DD40AX 6900 powered car run it on the layout, I be modelling Kennefick Park like in the pics wont be called that name.

I got a gift card from Bunning to buy some 12mm full sheets of ply to compete my layout, one sheet be for the double deck cable stay bridge I will be building, finished all the front modules ready to paint funny you say waiting for a warm day , I am waiting for a cool day we are having heat wave hitting us this week to Sunday , Saturday peaking over 40 degrees ouch, waiting for a cool day so I can set up all the front 7 modules to the spiral , pics to follow.

Can't wait till it gets cooler mid March.
