AS you may or not know i now own Isle Ornsay - Hebridean Light Railway (009)
& to Keep with my L&B lettered layouts this will be renamed Loch Kimmage & Blaendulais (Seven Sisters)... (were I am moving to in July
when I have time I will update in this new topic but here is the 1st build topic by Tom Dauben
http://www.009society.com/forum/index.php?topic=766.0
stock will be the same as I used on Coombe Bridge also I will be rewiring it from DCC to DC
I am picking up the layout in just under 3 weeks
As a digital user for 20 Years now I am curious to know why you would re wire back to Analogue?

As a digital user for 20 Years now I am curious to know why you would re wire back to Analogue?
Do not like DCC I have used in on layouts in the past
also down to the cost as I have over 30 009 locos it will cost around
Interesting each to his own I suppose, I am in the process of building an L&B themed 00-9 ayout in an 8 x 6 shed as a diversion from my other modelling interests. although I have not used analogue control for for 20 years on my various layouts I decided that as the layout in the shed would be relatively simple I would use analogue I even purchased a new Morley Controls power unit for the purpose,
However a few days ago, when I had laid around 1/3 of the track work and wired up 6 or 7 isolating sections along with their associated switches etc, I began to realise that there would be a lot more work to do, what particulary ' got me' was the fact that I would not be able to 'park' 3 locos in the shed area without further recourse to isolated sections, so last evening I dewired the track work already laid removed the switches and wired in a digital feed!
The proposed loco roster will only be around 4 locos so the additional decoder cost of around
To be honest I don't think that there is any 'right' way to do 009 with respect to Analogue and Digital other than personal preference.
My own take on it is that with the majority of 009 loco kits using older, pre-dcc chassis fitting a chip to a loco may not be the easiest thing in the world to do - certainly no plug-in jobs and is some cases major modifications are needed to sufficently isolate the chassis block & motor to fit the chip - but if using more modern chassis where a socket is fitted (or chip is present) or even rtr locos then life gets much easier.
I can see the advantage when it comes to wiring (with the MPD not needing multiple sections and 'sopts' for locos dependent of section breaks), and if statriing out I would probably go down the DCC route, but like a lot of those who have been modelling for some time I have quite a selection of locos (I dread to think how many!) which when it comes to buying the chips at
Having started in HOe with two Roco digital start sets, it's what I'm sticking with. I have been lucky in being able to convert loco's as I buy them, so it helps to ease the pain. I know what that's like too, as I converted my HOm collection in one lump... Ouch!
Having recently started a little side project in Japanese N with some little two coach EMU's, that will be analogue as convering 5 EMU's to DCC was a bit much and there's no loco depot so relatively simple. I would prefer to do DCC as it's simpler from a wiring perspective.
I always find it odd when people use the phrases "magic" and "too complicated". I sometimes wish someone would xplain what's so complicated! I suspect it's more that the old push button panel has gone rather than anything else.
4 days and counting to the pick up
I now have the layout its still in the back of the truck & i will un-load it tomorrow hope to post photos once set up
well 1st thing I got the layout out of the Truck & onto the office floor

So after a trip to B&Q for some wood I built a framework so the layout sits above the office work tops with the track just under 5ft from the floor
so here are some photos with my stock

Congratulations, it's a beautiful layout. You must be very proud.
Keith
Very Nice, Brian.
Jeff S.
once i have moved i hope to have a open day for the layout once i have also rewired it
Just ordered these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252366634505?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2648&var=551214308920&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
so I can wire the ESU Switchpilot to work from switchers & not DCC to operate the servos on the points
thinking of adding one of these to the layout
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OO-Model-railway-Castle-Small-Scottish-Tower-House-/322563822193?hash=item4b1a4d5271:g:k80AAOSw-4BXcCQ6 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OO-Model-railway-Castle-Small-Scottish-Tower-House-/322563822193?hash=item4b1a4d5271:g:k80AAOSw-4BXcCQ6)
[/quote]
Well in the end I ordered 3 items from the Ebay seller
https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/Collectables/1/m.html?item=322563822193&hash=item4b1a4d5271%3Ag%3Ak80AAOSw-4BXcCQ6&_ssn=waylander.2012&_sac=1
1, Castle. Small Scottish Tower House
2, church. Ruined Scottish Kirk.1/76 scale
3,Rectangular water tank on stone column. resin model
they arrived a weeks or so ago (lost track with unpacking after the move) so I have made a start painting them still more shading & highlights to do

Loch Kimmage now has a working turntable its a Kitwood Hills models kit that he made to my size which I believe has been added to the range the track on the table is 115mm long
I have added a markits tender hand brake to use as turning mechanism if it was a real table this will also help once the track is wired up to show which way a switch need to be for track power

just given them a coat of Citadel paints Agrax Earthshade which is a wash tomorrow I will go over that with Citadel paint Nuln Oil wash
Brian,
What Citadel paints do you find useful for 009 modeling?
Jeff S.
On locos non for the main colour just the black
& what looks right on the layout to many to list
for weathering I use Agrax Earthshade & Muln Oil

Good morning Brian, may I make an observation on what is a very pretty scenic layout, I have followed this since Tom's first posting some time ago.
The joint in the back scene was not so obvious as presented by Tom, and this is now accentuated by what I presume to be a light switch and a wire opening the crack further, which spoils the effect.
The additions made to the scene are in the main, complementary. The people look naturally posed, the additional cottages look realistic, but the castle on the hill, and the shop, look out of place, and the puffer in the bay looks very toy like, even after the replacement of the string rigging.
I thought the castle when advertised looked unrealistic with it's pronounced rubble walls, and the shop is totally out of place with the Scottish scene of Plocton'ish buildings. Any village shop would surely have been a converted cottage in that surrounding?
This may be presumptuous on my part, but I have long been a fan of your modelling, and I think you have gone a little astray with these additions.
Now I know the maxim, "Its my layout and I can do what I like", but seeing your past displays of modelling, perhaps further thought on this might be worthwhile.
Having disposed of my Glen Ogle layout, which may well be resurrected by its new owner at some time in the future, I would hope that its new owner would be sympathetic to its original conception even with all its faults.
I hope I have not offended, and my observations are given in the spirit of constructive cooperation.
Kind regards,
Brian.

Its the Roco 0-6-0 from the analogue starter set with a cab from A1 Models plus a brass chimney from the bits box
Love the new loco, I did a similar job putting a lower, more English looking cab on my Jouef decauville 040. It's surprising what you can create with a bit of imagination. :laugh:
Now the layout is up & running I am looking at having a open running day here in south wales would any members be up for this
