Marabost, to sit 150mm/ 6" above storage sidings

The railcar is on the entry track

The sidings next to the wall are also upper level storage - making a total of 31 such sidings on the D&S




The supports are in - some are threaded rods due to insufficient space tween tracks



 

From the aisle - will not be enclosed to allow for access if required




To discuss tonight with the operating crew a few things such as panel or not for the switches to operate solenoid motors.

The top boards cut to shape - to be joined up & more supports

Can't you sleep Sol ……..:shock::shock::shock::shock:

Isn't there a song from the Bond movie "Live and Let Die" that goes something like - "in the ever changing world in which we're living" ………………..:roll::roll:

Where does "Marabost" come from and are you going to be able to either, hinge the boards upwards or reach that rear siding from the front when all the others are full ?  That last siding is the one where ALL the derailments will take place !!!!   In fact, you could call it "Murphy's Siding" ;-)

Didn't take too long to do Peter.
The name Marabost is derived from my operating crews names.

The bottom rear siding is in fact the main line & over the last few years, never had a derailment due to careful track laying & making sure all rolling stock is close to AAA in back to backs, etc. Planning to have the station to be lifted off if needed.

Thanks Sol :thumbs

It does look good.

Back to my plasterboarding now - at 32C in the shade !!!!!! :???:

How the heck do you know what to do with which, Sol?

I admire your seeming efforts to cover a small portion of Terra Australis Incognito with Peco Semi Cognito….


Yes, Peter, it is bloomin' hot 32 here as well and me sanding the terrace wood-work. In the middle of re-gluing a 1/76th door knocker to a door with S'glue a drip of perspiration landed smack on target and washed it away…and, for the second time in my life I superglued the starboard arm of my spectacles to my lug'ole.

Keep at it Sol,

Doug

Wow Ron . You have made some major changes while my back was turned. :thumbs

and this is the plan.

Nice… That'll keep 'em busy.

Marty

Track laying has started

From my point of view it's encouraging to see someone else at the same stage as me Ron. Too many changes of plan is my problem. Lost count the number of times I've had the layout planned and then changed my mind. I'll get there one day, I think. ;-)

:hmm

Barney

Ron has the input from several operators who wish for things to be different… And he delivers.

It would drive me crazy, but that's how we are all different.

…. And having said that there is a section on NE that I am planning to rip up and relay….:roll:

Looking good Ron. 

:thumbs :thumbs

Wow! Lots of work there, Ron.

All track down & wiring underway

looking both ways:
 







The station throat, etc




The panel - toggles for solenoid motors using the "one-Wire" method

Did the test running on the track go smoothly, Ron?

Pete, no actual real test running yet, wiring to be finalised next week


all the droppers in so I will have to lift t his off & turn it upside down to finish it all.

Crikey! Good luck with that.

I really like that plan Sol and the tracklaying etc looks great - I think you should change your name to Speedy Gonzales!!!

Ken

All wired up now & working a treat.
