Horsetan Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Until I saw the photos of the fiddle yard, I actually thought this was going to be 21mm gauge. The scenery so far is certainly worthy of it. Almost makes you wish there was going to be enough space to model the oul Ormonde Cinema at Greystones.

closetmodeller Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) We got our "Portaloos" today. Additional supplies of fuel also arrived. An off-shore wind whipped up small waves. Tesco made a delivery, too. Detail of sand and sea, perhaps threatening some coastal erosion? For those who might be interested in the movement sequence at the Greystones Model, it follows here-under. Effectively, the station has to serve as a passing loop for all traffic between Bray and Wicklow. Surprisingly, I have yet to complete the whole sequence without a hitch! At the moment no times are specified, but that will follow. Movement Sequence at Greystones Station. 1. Down Dart arrives Down platform 2. Up Wicklow Commuter arrives Up Platform 3. Up Wicklow Commuter departs Bray 4. Down Dart moves to Up Platform 5. Down Commuter arrives Down Platform 6. Up Dart Departs Bray 7. Up Timber empty arrives Up Platform 8. Down Commuter departs Wicklow 9. Up Timber reverses empties into Timber Yard siding 10. Up Timber divides empties between both yard sidings 11. Down Dart arrives Up platform 12. Up Dart departs Up platform 13. Timber loco shunts loaded wagons together 14. Down Commuter arrives Up Platform 15. Down Commuter departs Wicklow 16. Up Timber departs siding to Greystones Down Platform 17. Timber loco detaches from train and uses Up loop to go around train. 18. Down Timber loco attaches to train and departs Wicklow 19. Down Dart arrives Up platform 20. Up Dart departs Bray Edited December 6, 2015 by closetmodeller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

closetmodeller Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) General view showing the new buffers. These are made from parts created with our 3D printer. As well as new orange buffers, the yard has been made more secure, by the addition of new fencing. Who threw that fuel barrel over the wall? Work continuing on the southern fiddle yard. The left hand track will also serve as storage for the DART, held overnight in order to provide an early morning sevice to Dublin.

murrayec Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Hi All Well now I'm sure you noticed things are moving along slowly what with other commitments and the like.... but here are a few shots taken today of the concrete paved surface of the timber yard. As seen in previous posts the surface is cardboard with several coats of coloured plaster, the replica joints are knife cuts with a soft pencil line run in the cut, lead pencil dust is also smeared around to give contrasting effect More layers later...
