Phil Haigh<p>It’s not all finished, but it is finished enough that I can run trains! Here’s a short clip of two trains going through the station area from opposite directions. There’s a Class 37 and a Class 411 EMU. Enjoy.</p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/ModelRailway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ModelRailway</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Progress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Progress</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/OOScale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OOScale</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Class37" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Class37</span></a></p>
Phil Haigh<p>Another round of trial fitting of all the rear baseboards now that the left rear corner board is permanently installed. You can get an idea of the absolute chaos in the room with this wide-ish angle photo.</p><p>The board that isn’t in place on the left needs some small adjustments now that the corner board next to it is 2cm further forward than the others. There will also be a step in the backscene boards where these two boards meet that I will do my best to disguise with scenery. </p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/ModelRailway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ModelRailway</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/OOScale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OOScale</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Progress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Progress</span></a></p>
Phil Haigh<p>I’ve today off so naturally I’m trial firing the remaining track on the second reverse loop before I take out the corner board for one last time to fit the backscenes to the back and side of that board.</p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/ModelRailway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ModelRailway</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/OOScale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OOScale</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Tracklaying" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tracklaying</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Progress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Progress</span></a></p>
Phil Haigh<p>Today I learnt that Kadee #19 couplings are not long enough at 10.7mm for Accurascale Mk1 coaches where the NEM pockets are recessed quite a long way back compared to most other rolling stock I own. They couple up - just - but the buffers are almost touching and a rake of them won’t go around a 500mm radius curve (the tightest on my layout).</p><p>So I’ve ordered some #20 couplings (11.7mm) which I’m hoping will add enough length to give enough clearance. If not they’ll get used elsewhere and I’ll use magnetic couplings between the coaches instead, with a Kadee on each end of the rake.</p><p>All the other rolling stock I’ve added Kadees to have been fine. Most locos need #19 while everything else is fine with #18 (8.6mm), even the Syphon Gs which I thought would need #19.</p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/ModelRailway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ModelRailway</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/OOScale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OOScale</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/KadeeCouplings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KadeeCouplings</span></a></p>
Phil Haigh<p>Erm, so, ah, yes. Well this arrived today. Got it weathered too. It was highly recommended by the World of Railways channel on YouTube. Said it was the best runner he’d ever bought. Just need a decoder for it now. </p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/ModelRailway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ModelRailway</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/OOScale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OOScale</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/GresleyO2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GresleyO2</span></a></p>
