For a short term proposition, I did update those USA outline tanks as below and as expected just after I stuck on the Chidgey & Son label, the ones from Knightwing arrived - it is big. With all the various tanks I have coming, I will have enough now for all of my Oil storage needs. ____________________ Ron NCE DCC ; 00 scale UK outline. |

That's a very nice looking tank Sol but I still think I'd see about cladding the tresles with brick paper for a UK scene.............. ____________________ 'Petermac |

A few photos of Charde from different angles     The bus driver took the corner very wide !! The yellow sleepers are magnets located for uncoupling Kadees. ____________________ Ron NCE DCC ; 00 scale UK outline. |

That all sits together very well, Sol, especially the old rails near the buffer stops but as Peter said the big bulk tank should either be on brickwork, or, criss-cross stacked ex-sleepers at each end and middle. Somewhere I have a proto piccy of just such an arrangement. Also, (and this is really 'picky', but the scene quality deserves it), in the second picture of the 0414 post a tiny amount of green scatter forced here and there into the platform joint lines would make an unavoidable construction line into a micro-feature.

Thanks Doug, yes the tank will be replaced and for the platform joint lines, I do have some green weathering powder to try out. I am currently doing scenic bits all over the layout, not just concentrating on one area at a time. ____________________ Ron NCE DCC ; 00 scale UK outline. |

With my "desire" to have the new Charde Rail DMU stabled at Charde , not Tawnton, one of the crew suggested a change from this  to this  so replacing the turnout serving the goods shed track & the platform run-around with a 3 way, it gives me a storage track for the DMU with the fuel tank. & to line all things up, the turnout on the platform gets moved to the left & that gives a longer track for a loco & more than 1- 2 vans in run-around. Waiting on delivery of the 3 way & a couple of microswitches for the 3 way frog switching needed for Code 75 . This will take a lot longer to do than the 3rd track at Watchit so it maybe possible that Charde has no goods services for a session or two, only DMU's ( Charde will be more laid back ) Sol ____________________ Ron NCE DCC ; 00 scale UK outline. |

Wow - when I saw the first photo, I was about to say that looks nice - I like the sweeping curves running off the point when wham, bang, thank you Ma'am and it's gone !! I can see why you've done it Sol and it does look good - as if it's been there since the goods shed was built rather than for a few hours. On the other hand, I do wonder if the railway is taking the countryside over - I really like your scenery but is it slowly disappearing under sleepers .......................?  ____________________ 'Petermac |

Just like the real thing Peter ! I'm just going to spend an hour updating the bad language filter. . . Just for when Ron starts posting about wiring in that threeway point !  Looks interesting Ron and the changes you have been making will certainly freshen up the operating sessions  Cheers Matt |

Matt, wiring the 3 way was easy as I followed a good photo from elsewhere as I had lost the Peco sheet. Now to tidy things up. ____________________ Ron NCE DCC ; 00 scale UK outline. |
