Congratulations, Sol.    :cheers

I rarely get to look at the Home Page, as I usually go in by the email links.

Nice to see one of the earliest and longest featured layouts on this forum on the header page again. Well done Al and Sol.

Hi Sol Congratulations Home Page picture of the week. WoW twice in one year. Well done.
D&S Layout very nice, I like your re build plan, s. New ideas always welcome.

Had you found place for Mill Wear House, Last model build.

Up Date plus pic, s please.

Noviceman., thanks.

 I haven't built the Mill warehouse - I was just advising all of the new release - I have no room for it….

Hi Ron.   The "Fun" with code 83 and code 100, was that "Tongue in Cheek"? And did you have to use a file??All the best. Kevin

Solder a code 100 metal fishplate to code 100 rail for 50% of the fishplate length, flatten the other 50% & solder the code 75/83 rail to this flattened piece of fishplate ( with the inside edges of both code 75 & 100 in alignment.)
A  file just to touch the top surface up.

Hi Ron.  Thank you, I may try that? one day.    Kevin

Noviceman, there is a N scale version on this post
http://yourmodelrailway.net/view_topic.php?id=15110&forum_id=21&jump_to=273256#p273028

Finally got the Dapol signal gantry almost finished - just the railing to install but it lights up now



this one shows all the wires but they are very hard to see normally.

Hi Ron.    Well done, there aren't enough model railway layouts with working signals.  All the best. Kevin

Looks good!

There is planned to do some "drastic" track changes

this is basic as of now



planned & with signals & interlocking, crashes at the diamonds should be few & far…(hopefully)


as I have a NMRA meeting at my place May 11, after that is when I start the track changes ( existing scenery removal can start now… )

Wow - that's major works Sol.

 Looking forward to it.  Presumably all the main buildings will remain as now ………………….. :hmm

Hi Ron. Thank you again. Now if I had the space, and my own property? The “ World would be??? “Best wishes Kevin

I think minor changes at Watchit - I think…..

Hope it doesn't turn into, well now I've done that bit. I could do this bit, and then there's ……………………………..

That’s a serious addition of running line Sol! Looking forward to watching the track crew at work.

After having some serious e-mail discussions with a couple of the crew, while there will be some changes, not quite as drastic as I initially thought/planned



As I have turnouts interlocked currently between Devan & Bruton     Jns, I can interlock the turnouts at XXXX      & YYYY,      star to star

so while the purple track gets used for two different routes , this means a lot less work than having so many diamonds and 3     tracks across the liftup which I must admit I was not sure how to do it without completly ruining  Devan Junction .

and this is Devan Junction and it would have been a real pain to follow the initial thoughts keeping some trackage in situ, before the crew out their ideas forward .

It must be great to have such a democratic operation Ron. I wish I had someone to suggest a contra view when I embark on some of my less realistic improvements!
Good luck with version II
