4mm Polsarrett: BR(S) N Cornwall Clay, The Final Countdown

[Pencarrow]

I think the Methodist chapel will be heavily modified to be part of the clay works, suitably painted.

A Bagged Clay Store a la Ponts Mill springs to mind there!

Merry Christmas to one and all.

HO, HO, HO

(Or in my case at the moment OO, OO, OO)

 

[Pencarrow]

Well these are jolly nice...



Think I'll also have to make a set in 7mm for Pencarrow at some point.

 

[GrahameH]

They'd look nice behind a Pannier !

 

[Pencarrow]

So this morning, whilst waiting for the rest of the house to get up, I have mostly been doing wiring...



Bit of a rat's nest at the moment.

If you look closely at the photo you'll notice a pannier behind them...

Ah ! Yes now I see it, my monocle was all steamed up with excitement !

Merry Festives old fruit.

 

[Pencarrow]

Right, where did I get to...

Morning.

I take it things will be moving about under their own power later then.......I'll be back.

Rat's nest tidied up a bit...

That’s the beauty of DCC, only two wires...

Might be a while, 5 more servos to install and various switches for sections to set up (that means making a panel of some sort to go behind the cottage). Oh and some track over the board joint into the fiddle. Cracking on though.

I'll get comfy then........

Morning Simon,

Polsarrett will be DC not DCC. All the old Treneglos stock is DC and I'm not spending time, effort and money fitting chips. It could easily be converted at a later stage though. Failing that I will just make chuffing noises.

Cheers old bean!

Hi Chris,

I totally get that, I guess it depends whether you want to move your DCC between layouts, and if you did, it would mean chipping locos. If you already have DC Analog, you’ve got the option to do it later, and you can always, as you say, make chuffing (and slurping, shovelling, farting, etc) noises to your heart’s content

Merry Christmas
Simon

I did that after the sprouts...

Don't wait up...

I did get all the servos installed, wired and working the turnouts correctly. All the electrics done so far have been tested and all are correct.

Tomorrow's jobs are to wire up all the switches and, if I can find some suitable gunk, spray the trackbed before ballasting.

More boring wires...

Panel for switches also drawn up.
