November 3, 2009. It’s been a while since my last post – life is good, but VERY busy! I mentioned in an earlier post. I decided to use foamcore as my road-base as it would elevate the road three scale feet and allow me to build properly sloping shoulders. I was surprised to find that after factoring in shoulders, lane widths etc., that roadways are much wider then imagined. I’m modeling a 2-lane highway and the width is equal to many 4-lane models!

The Farthing Layouts: Small crates and tea chests
http://farthinglayouts.blogspot.com/2015/04/small-crates-and-tea-chests.html
Small crates and tea chests. I’ve been making my own crates and tea chests from printable veneer. Today I installed them in the goods depot at Farthing. The mezzanine floor at Farthing was used as a storage facility. Traders could have their wares stored while awaiting despatch and distribution. Space was literally at a premium, and this floor was always tidier and more well organised than the busy decks below. This part of the goods depot was inspired by the balcony floor at Hockley Goods. I've experime...

The Farthing Layouts: Wagon propulsion
http://farthinglayouts.blogspot.com/2014/08/wagon-propulsion.html
I've been testing the trackplan for “The sidings”, and got a bit carried away! Jokes aside, there is. A more serious side to this: As previously explained. The layout is inspired by the trackplan at the back of Gloucester Old Yard. This included the very short so-called “biscuit siding” which served a private warehouse through a kick-back arrangement. In GWRJ No. 45 (p262), shunter Hayden Jones explains how the biscuit siding was operated:. In any case, my initial reaction was to disregard these practice...

The Farthing Layouts: LSWR 10 ton sliding door van
http://farthinglayouts.blogspot.com/2014/06/lswr-10-ton-sliding-door-van.html
LSWR 10 ton sliding door van. The LSWR was the biggest of the GWR's neighbours at Farthing, so I thought I'd better make myself some stock from that company for my 1900s goods depot. Last night I finished my LSWR sliding door. Van, to SR diagram 1410, built from the David Geen whitemetal kit. After a first light coat of primer, Archer’s rivets were added to the door rail – 12 little devils each side. For all its bad reputation, rivet counting can actually be quite fun! For the number/builders plate I ini...

Model Railroad Miscellany: May 2016
http://modelrrmisc.blogspot.com/2016_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 31, 2016. European models aren't the main focus of my layout, but I do have some. There was a thread about modeling European prototype. On the Model Railroader forum recently, but it didn't get a whole lot of replies, and there was a tendency to equate European models with Märklin. I have some code 83 rack that's meant for both US and European equipment, mostly giving US equipment "trackage rights" in "Europe" to reach spurs and staging. Monday, May 23, 2016. Sunday, May 15, 2016. They appea...

Model Railroad Miscellany: December 2016
http://modelrrmisc.blogspot.com/2016_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 27, 2016. Finally a few months ago I got the confidence to rewire this section of the layout. I can't quite give a schedule for completion, because each time I think I'm getting close, I find something else I have to fix, but things are moving along. This video shows the result of some new track and complete replacement of wiring at CP CONN. I think this will pay off down the road. Tuesday, December 20, 2016. Bachmann E7 Is Out. Looking at photos, though, I see that Burlington, Southern...

Model Railroad Miscellany: Four Cars For $9
http://modelrrmisc.blogspot.com/2016/08/four-cars-for-9.html
Wednesday, August 31, 2016. Four Cars For $9. I'm a sucker for the vintage cars you can often find very cheaply at swap meets. Last Saturday at the Simi Valley swap, a seller had a couple boxes of vintage cars selling for $3 each or four for $9. I bit. AHM stock car from the 1960s or so. Needs the same work as the Life-Like car. I hesitated over this last one. It looked vaguely like a Walthers, but not quite, and the paint has got to go - but for less than $3, I decided to give it a try. Ive emailed you ...

Model Railroad Miscellany: January 2017
http://modelrrmisc.blogspot.com/2017_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 31, 2017. Bachmann E7 - III. I found this YouTube video that shows a sound-equipped loco that does control the warning light separately from the headlight:. Here is the chassis for my E7 with a Digitrax DH166 installed and the violet wire from the decoder going to the numberboards. The blue shrink wrap covers a 560 ohm resistor in series with the numberboard LEDs. Here are the numberboards lit, along with the headlights:. Here they are turned off separately via F2:. Bachmann E7 - II.
