My small 009 Inglenook titled "Ingley Nook".
Made from a picture frame using Peco Set Track, Wire in tube point control and various scenics/techniques.
These are photographs mid way through the making of. (More to come)

Hello, may I be the first to congratulate you on a very nice little layout with lot's of scenic details to admire.

I've just noticed the wooden point control knobs - I like it!
Nice work. What are the dimensions?

It's 73cm x 25cm. Originally a 5 aperture picture frame from Wilkos
Some photos from today's modelling and run. Added a couple of flat beds to the service.

I don't think there is a facility for doing "Likes" on this forum but..................."Like" !
Excellent little inglenook layout and lots of potential for melling and ........fun!
Mick
Like it too!
What did you use for the dry stone walling?
Have you played the actual shunting game yet?
The walls are made from cat litter mixed with PVA glue and pressed into a mold made from lego.
Been running the puzzle for over a week now and hours of fun!
That's very atmospheric and satisfying, Scott. Do you have somewhere geographical in mind?
Please don't be afraid of ballasting the points - if you're careful they should still work fine afterwards! (and it will look even better).
David.
It looks great Scot.
How are you getting on with the dead frog points?
Perhaps operating the layout for a while may show up any problems with locos stalling at slow speeds.
I have been told that Peco have said that there will be an electrofrog version of the new 9 inch 009 point, but that they are in no rush to produce it so it may be two years away yet.
If you have no problems then that's fine, but if you do then it may be a good idea to hold off on balasting the points until the electrofrog version is available.

They've been fine Brian. I run the Minitrains Bagnall, Koppel, Bachmann Brick, Lilliput 0-6-2, Roco 0-6-0, all at low speed without an issue. The Kato 103 are temperamental on them at slow speed. The exercise was purely to test the new Peco points.
Older chassis's will probably be rubbish on them like my Egger 0-4-0 Koppel but they are rubbish even before the points ;D
What do you use for your point rodding, Scott?

How do you ballast points? I always clog them up!
Really nice layout, I would like to build something like that.
