Another station on the Devan and Summersett
For a short term proposition, I did update those USA outline tanks as belowand 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.

The bus driver took the corner very wide !!
The yellow sleepers are magnets located for uncoupling Kadees.

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.

I am currently doing scenic bits all over the layout, not just concentrating on one area at a time.

That's the bit I like best…!

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 )

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 …………………..? :hmm

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 !!

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 ! :shock:
Looks interesting Ron and the changes you have been making will certainly freshen up the operating sessions :thumbs
Cheers

but in doing so. I have created a wiring problem - the middle track is now dead so I have to start searching for the broken connection….

And the problem now fixed - ballast & microswitches for frog switching - not compatible…
Just like that eh Sol ?
I'd have loved to have been a fly on your wall whilst you were trying to discover that incompatibility …………….. :It's a no no

You should have been here yesterday and today while I was looking for a short in one section. I switched all sections off to narrow it down to this one bit. Could I find it? NO. This afternoon I ran the vacuum over the track in that section and poof, it was cured, but I still don't know what caused it.[user=606]Sol[/user] wrote:And the problem now fixed - ballast & microswitches for frog switching - not compatible…
