Jon RoachIn-between tidying up the railway room, and before I lost them, I fitted the 3D printed exhaust baffles to the HST power cars. Now they just need renumbering to be Western Region. And crew fitting . And weathering.

Jon RoachFree good fings Heute:1. I took a lot of deep breaths and did not reply to a reply-toot that bare vexed me.2. All 20 3d-printed PCA009 wagon chassis have their black base coats. Wheels and couplings come next, and I have a corresponding number of wagon bodies to paint.3. Smooth changeover of annex guests today, plus enough of a gap to get the washing done (the machine lives in the annex).<a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/3GoodThings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#3GoodThings</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/ModelRailway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ModelRailway</a>

Phil HaighModel railway update.Branch line station boards nearly ready for track. I just need to drill holes for signals, then run cables from the signal controller - which has not been programmed, because… no track yet!Spent some time this afternoon checking block detection on the rest of layout and labelling a track map ready for setting up in JMRI. Found three wiring issues and fixed two of them, one more left to fix. Then found that the auto reversers are a blind spot for block detection (this is the first time I’ve tried to check block detection specifically). Maybe the track tester I’m using to trigger occupancy isn’t drawing enough current. Hopefully the current draw from an engine will be enough for the Digitrax BDL168. I’m hoping it will be, because the alternative will be to try other types of reverse instead. I’ll find out tomorrow when I run a train round.Hoping to get the track layout into JMRI over the next week.<a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/ModelRailway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ModelRailway</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Progress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Progress</a>

Jon RoachFINALLY recommissioned the airbrush after ages and did a bunch more PCA009 chassis base coat of black. They will look good once they're fully painted and weathered. Printed another airbrush turntable as well because with "mass" production I need to use all the paint before the airbrush clogs up, but I can't handle the still-drying models on the original turntable. <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/ModelRailway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ModelRailway</a>

Phil HaighBuilding a two arm semaphore signal today with illuminated lanterns. The signal arms will be servo driven by these little beauties, once the circuit is perfected I’ll be getting some boards made together with 3D printed mounts so that they just slot into the baseboards. The circuits will be 12v powered and take a single input for each arm 0v or 12v for the two arm positions. <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/ModelRailway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ModelRailway</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/OOScale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OOScale</a>

Phil HaighFinally sorted out the last area of the layout design, an engine depot with turntable, and carriage sidings - the blue tracks on the image below. Requires the construction of one more reasonably large baseboard almost a meter square in the left side - but obviously not particularly square.The original steam depot is on the left, the later addition of the diesel depot is split with some storage on the left and then maintenance pits on the right.Everything in the middle will be filled in with a town around a small castle as previously mentioned, built in several removable sections. See the image alt text for further details.Edit: updated the screenshot as I’d forgotten to put the purple blocks back in!<a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/ModelRailway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ModelRailway</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/TrackDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TrackDesign</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/OOScale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OOScale</a>

TomStill kind of blown away by the smoothness of this. It’s partly why I opted to pay a little extra for a decoder specifically set up by Accurascale for the model. It’d take me hours if not days to get something like this.

TomThe DCC decoder specifically set up by Accurascale for the Buckjumper arrived today.

Phil HaighMore model railway progress…The branch line sits on top of the helix so I can’t do much of the construction work in place. My strategy (as this area will be installed as two separate baseboards) is to do as much of the electrical work as possible before laying any track. And then to lay most of the track before the boards are installed.Here I’ve installed wiring for the uncouplers, and the relay boards that control them, and all the wiring for the points to the accessory controllers. I’ve also got the signalling and block detection boards in place, but not wired to anything yet.Still to run the cables for the buttons that activate the uncouplers, all the feeds to the various track blocks, as well as the wiring for points feedback and block occupancy as, again, there’s no way to do this easily once the boards are installed.<a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/ModelRailway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ModelRailway</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/OOGauge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OOGauge</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Build" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Build</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Progress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Progress</a>
