Making a new start
heres a plan for the layout what do you think

its 5 foot diameter & 14inch wide & in 8 parts & the baseboards are lazer cut
You might want to consider a larger central hole, then with a swivel chair it would be easier to sit inside at a show. With a computer drawing and laser cutting it should be easier to get the segments really accurate. Nice idea.

the boards are ordered & were been cut last week there will be a backscene on the inside as this will be a layout I can take to show if stan wants it I can take it to the November Rainhill show
From that I presume that your control will be 'external' rather internal, then the 2ft space inside makes sense. Its luxury to get the baseboards at least ready cut, assembled even better. How will you join and support the layout sections?

at home I will control it from the out side but at hows I will be in the hole
not worked out the legs yet as the wood has not arrived & ones put togetter the legs are the 1st job

The 2' 4" hole in the middle should be OK to stand in, though you'll need to be careful with the positioning of the legs (especially on the 'inside' face) as the operator will need to get under the layout (on all fours?) then stand up.
Peter Cullen's "Mannin Middle" is a 'lifebelt' layout and from memory the dimensions seem to be about the same, though Mannin is square and on 4 baseboards (one per side) so there is a little more room in the middle and the legs (trestles I think) don't get in the way so much whilst passing through the hole.
Looks interesting - I'm looking forward to seeing the finished layout.
the layout will be at the Rainhill November show 2015 not sure how much scenic there will be but the track will be down
Taking yet another look why are the segments this size. The outside circumference is just under 16 ft. If you either only have 4 boards then the longest dimension will be 4 ft and half the number of baseboard joins, likewise legs. As to legs you might be able to come up with a four legged system in a square. What high can you comfortably get under. I recommend a swivel stool or you get exhibition twisted neck syndrome.
Today a large parcel arrived

I now have 112 parts for the base boards plus 24 clamps/ gigs & the disks to locate the boards & bolts o & 3 shhets of A4 on how to put it all togetter

the woodwork cost
at the end of the day 4 boards are built apart from back scenes
5 now built & after lunch I am going to try the 4 in the car & then bolt them together in the loft
I miss read what tim said the size was
the boards are Not 5 foot Dia But are 5 foot Dia at the center line so the full size is 87 inch or 2215mm on the outside giving me a hole of 59 1/2 inch or 1510mm
That sounds a lot bigger - 5 foot (less a touch) inner diameter - plenty of room to maneuver inside that!
Am I right in thinking those extra bits are laser-cut clamps and pegs to hold the bits together while the glue is drying?

at the moment he is not taking on new designs so he can catch up but can take orders for the base board kits that are on is web site
he has one 60x120cm
http://www.timhorn.co.uk/4ft-by-2ft-lite-baseboard/
He does 80x25cms - these might be combined into 80x50. Still a bit small for what I would like to do.

if you can wait till October Tim hopes to start taking orders again to make boards to the size you want made
now all built just need the timber for the legs
just picked up the timber for the legs & now off up in to the loft to make a start on them
the legs are now done Next is the track laying but I will need to order some more points & N gauge track for the fiddle yard
there are full with legs ever 2 board joints & just a leg on the outside on the other 4

the baseboard tops are 100cm high
I have now on order 7 extra points so I will end up with
a 4 track fiddle yard
2 sidings at the mills & 5 at the loco sheds
plus a run round at the station
That looks really impressive and not at all like the "Mannin Middle" image in my mind from your first post.
From the floor level (or is that sub-floor/ceiling?) view it looks like the Mother Ship has landed!
And it's taking operating/viewing height (discussed elsewhere) too far... :-)

I had my head throw the loft hatch to take the photo
made a start laying the track & got as far as the 1st point for the station run round as I have now run out of right hand points till the new ones on order arrive

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc_vTUpwNsc&feature=youtu.be
the points arrived so after lunch it was back on with track laying
the only track left to lay is the 3 track loco shed which I will do after Tea
I also need to wire up the new track but trains have run all the way round
I am A Happy Chappy as all the track is down, All wired up & board joints cut & it all works still need to buy the point motors but the holes are there for fitting them

Looking good!
Perhaps it is by design or an unintended consequence, but having the fiddle yard on a curve makes the point ladder more compact and helps even up the length of the roads.

By Design Not by me
with me I have a ruff idea that I put on paper then lay track & see how it looks as I go on
the next job when I get the time is to paint the sides of the rails with Humbrol 113 & I need to order a N gauge ballast spreader
things are move quickly
the track is painted & the gaps in the sleeper are filled
catch points added to the 2 sheds & point roding fitted to the Station run round plus the paint from the mainline as the point in the sheds will be hand point

Things are on hold now till the walling I have on order arrives
I will be interested to see how you get on with the dead (plastic) frog points as I have always found that the locos stall on these at slow speeds. As a result I never use them on layouts, not even on storage sidings as I find them a complete pain with the locos repeatedly stopping on them and requiring a push or having to rush the locos over them at a faster than desirable speed each time. Quite a few times I have even known one or two dead frog points to ruin an otherwise super running layout.
I have also found that it is not a good idea to use the baseboard joints as an electrical gaps in the rails as over time with the movement in the wooden structure and with heat changes I have found that the gaps can close up causing problems.
But it is up to you and I suppose after operating your layout for some time these problems may well become obvious to you. But on the other hand they may not.

The locos I have all run nice over the set track points & apart from the fiddleyard there are non on the mainline
the base board joints are not been used as electrical gaps I have put insulated fishplates were its needed
It was only that one photo showed two trains, each with a loco in the same storage yard loops and I assumed that you were using the board joint to isolate the two sides from each other with the power to each half of the loop switched via the end point.
As I said only time working the layout will show the shortcomings of dead frog points. There are good reasons that the vast majority of 009 modellers avoid dead plastic frogs when building layouts.
Other than the radius and the compromise in the size of the sidings needed was there any other reason why you did not use electrofrog points throughout the layout?
The reason I ask is that there are almost always ways to change the track plans slightly so the larger radius electrofrog points can be used without compromising on the length of the sidings and loops.
Brian Meldon
the backscene is fitted to the scenic boards & part of the fiddle yard I need to seal the boards before fitting the scenic paper

I removed one on the 2 sets of boards join together by the backscene & test fitted it in the car with 2 of the 3 back seats removed I will get all 4 set in the car I will need to make up some end boards for transport in sets of 2

OUCH!!!
the backscene I am going to be using are by id Backscenes & is from there Premium range which is self-adhesive
the info that comes with them say if you are using MDF for your backscene then it will need a coat of Gloss paint
So today I have removed the 3 sheets of MDF from the scenic boards & given them a coat of white gloss paint
now that's done the next job is to spread the ballast & glue it down & once I start that I will post some update photos
tonight I have started ballasting I have done 2 on the 3 scenic boards I still need to cut the tracks on the shed roads & then wire them up Plus fit a platform before I can ballast the last one

once this has dried I will keep adding more over the rocks till I am happy with it
Thats really effective Brian. What plaster/powder are you using as a base mix? and are you getting any problems with shrinkage as it dries?
Shaun.

Hi Shaun
the plaster is a home brand plaster filler (like polyfiller) this time its from wicks
as to shrinkage in the past I have not had any but as I use PVA glue in stead of water only using a very small amount of water at the end of the mixing to get to spread
I find the PVA lets the plaster have a bit of flex
Thanks for the prompt reply.
Shaun.
Well the 1st lot of plaster had set but in some places had not fully dried but ok to start the 2nd layer

That's a nice rock face there, Brian. At first I thought that that was filler you'd spread all over the track, but I think I can see now that it was probably masking tape...!

Many thanks for the quick reply.

Just a tip when planting trees etc.
Always plant them in odd numbers ie 3, 5, 7 etc.
No its not an April Fool joke !!
A few years ago, I was watching a gardening programme and the advice was when planting in your garden always plant in odd numbers
The arrangements always look better to the eye, than even numbers.
Followed that advice ever since, plus you can never have to many trees, just look out of your windows, there are more trees than people.
Counted the trees on our Gairloch layout yesterday and it was 150 !!
Stan.
150 is an even number Stan!! Did you have your specs on?
Roger
Ah but 150 divides by 3 to give 50 groups and by 5 to give 30 groups.
David
I think the 'rule' is not to make the arrangements too regular or symmetric. Choosing an odd number is a convenient guideline. However, three very similar trees arranged in a neat equilateral triangle or a line or five in a pentagon will look as odd as two or four.
Once you start grouping groups applying a strict rule gets a bit silly: two groups of three or a group of three and a group of two to make an extended group of five? and that is just the start.
What is harder to achieve with commercial trees is a convincing arrangement of trees in close proximity. Most commercial model trees are "specimen" trees growing in isolation whereas trees growing together will shade each other and the branches facing other trees will be more spindly, shorter etc. Similarly, with trees in a group, some will be more dominant and others crowded out to an extent. Neat rows of uniform forestry commission trees requires quite a lot of management.
The main issue with trees on a 00 scale layout is their size.
In reality trees are big! Often three or four times the height of a house. In fact the average height of a tree in the UK works out at just over 10 inches (around 26cm) in 00 scale.
The problem is that tress of this size just look wrong on a model railway and they would completely dwarf the buildings and the trains.
I think this is something to do with the way virtually all model railways compress length, having curves that a far tighter than the prototype, short stations, short sidings and very short distances between stations on a model with far more track that would be seen in reality. One mile is a very short distance between railway stations, but on a 00 model 1 mile is 69 feet!
The result is that we need to use smaller than scale trees, but to make them look correct on the layout, this is not easy.

I have made a start on the control panel
its cut to shape & has a coat of primer
heres how it looks as it is now
I still need to add the 2 engine sheds & the brack in the track in the 3 road shed

The control panel is now wired up I may add 1 more switch so the standard gauge & narrow gauge tracks are not powered at the same time at the moment the standard gauge is not powered I still need to add the point motors & attach the wires to them but the wire is in place I may get this done before Rainhill but as the layout will be a work in progress then it will not matter

One thing that the late Jack Carter did with his control panels was to use different types of switches for different functions.
For example the section switches are large toggle switches, the isolating rail switches are slide switches and the uncoupling ramps push buttons.
In practice this helps a lot when operating the layouts as it avoids confusion because it is very easy to tell what the switches are for.
That said he also made all his point switches (for the solenoid point motors) so they indicate the direction of the points on the panel.
What type of point motors are you going to use? (Solenoid, slow motion, servo motor etc.)

I have some switch covers on order 2 colours red & black I will be using the black for the point & red for the track
as to paint motor it will be Peco or the new Gauge Master ones
The layout will be at the Rainhill show on the 28th November so come & say Hi & if you would like to run any of your locos just ask
I have cut the base for the platform to shape & now await the paving slabs to arrive
I have now added the signalbox

I have mixed it myself but
the green is Gaugemaster
& then I have used 2 lengths of straw 4mm & 6mm from green scene
http://www.green-scene.co.uk/Flockit.html
Thanks for the info.
Jeff S.
Having removed the excess static grass I am not happy with the covering but its only a base layer which will have more done to it this will do for now
this base layer is just to give a covering to the boards for the Rainhill show
Got some more done still need to vac up the excess grass these photos were taken using a flash

I have just under 4 weeks till the layout 1st show
I have lots I would like to get done before hand but know most of it will not get done But one that I will get done is paint the platform
last night with one eye on the BBC's Mexico F1 I painted the platform using Citadel paint from Games Workshop
they were one coat of Agrax Earthshade which was then wiped off
then a 2 coats of Nuln Oil which after drying looks like this

Can you let me know what you think
I must say Brian that the layout is looking really good - and coming together so very quickly too!
Really looking forward to seeing it at Rainhill.

Frank
say hi & you may get a drive
I have now got the transport crating done & I have put the layout back up
there is still lots of things to do but most likely will now not get any more done before Rainhill
Of back up in to the loft to take some photos & a small film
A cab ride at Coombe Bridge
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoBdoTOmgy0&feature=youtu.be
Its a bit wobbly as it taken on a bogie wagon
It's coming together very nicely, Brian. The cutting looks good - perhaps some more tall grass and bushes are needed here and there, but it's a nice spot to view trains passing by and it has got the makings.
That mill scene is quite different - very atmospheric. I would love to see it in reality.
Here are 2 more train rides & some photos

As for the New mills I have warmed them up so I could curve them to match the backscene so all been well they will fit flush
I have also made a start painting them
the brick mill is getting bigger just sat in place at the moment

what do you all think ??

The idea appeals to me, even though they're just flat gables. Can I suggest something? Put them about 10mm from the backscene and fit the suggestion of a roof. Even if you incline it at an impossible angle such as 70 degrees it would make a difference. Trees on both sides would screen them off from the backscene. Rob Reinders of the Dutch Group did something similar to his hotel on the Austrian diorama 'Dislbach'. See photo.

Hi Ted the mills is glued to the backscene so can not move them out.
But I will be adding slates to the 2 parts that are gables ends hope to do that tomorrow which is the last day I will be doing any work on the layout before the Rainhill show
Oh - I see. In that case, probably trees on either side would help anyway. You might suggest a flat roof on the centre portion by adding a bargeboard or a ledge along the top edge. Not sure if that's an architectural style in the area you're modelling. But you've done it on the brick mill building at the other end.
Good luck at the Rainhill show. Should be great fun, I'm doing a small local show over here on Saturday.
heres the roofs on the gable ends

the car is loaded with the layout's 1st show
But I was hoping to double stack the crated boards but I need 1 inch extra in the cars height to do so. So I now can only get myself & one other in the car
Its will not cause any problems for operating the layout but will mean My son Dean can not go along as well
saying that next year I hope to be looking for a newer car & it will most likely be bigger that the car I have now
Now home after the show the drive back was wet but stopped as I switch off the car so it was a quick un-load to get the layout back in the house before it started again
here are some photos from the show

Still need to blend in the signal base & like I said wire them up
Now I am going to Crash on the sofa for the night
Well done, Brian, those low level shots! Very atmospheric!

Well done, Brian, those low level shots! Very atmospheric!
I used my phone with the lens at the bottom to give me the low level shots
well managed to wire up the signals & switch
Very easy to wire up there are 4 wires 2 yellow plus one red & one black
the red & black are wired to 16v AC & the 2 yellows go to the same push to make switch
To make the signal move you press the switch then when you want to move it back you press the switch again the part of the signal under the baseboard dose all the switching over
signals at red

Very nice, Brian. Since I'm a signalling nut which you may remember from my threads, I love seeing working signals. And including lights! They are N scale signals, am I correct? The size is quite good for 009. Well done, continue the good work!

I've been off the forum for some time Brian, but I just caught up with this. The layout looks good, hope you and that formidable young lady had a good time at the show. ;)
And now I've got to kick myself into modelling again! Too many distractions lately, but I suppose I will get there... ::)
