Another flea bay purchase in need of a lot of TLC! at least all the bits are there and the motor runs. Toothpaste to remove those hideous scratches.

“Dunworkin” the vision revised

had a think about the slip and decided to bite the bullet. posted an update last night on http://yourmodelrailway.net/

“Dunworkin” the vision

“Dunworkin”

Well due to inclement weather here I made a rough draft of my proposed layout “Dunworkin” using AnyRail drawing package. I guess there will be many tweaks before I am finished. I would appreciate your input, as track design is not my strongest subject.

That’s all folks.

A quick update on the turntable project, I tested the motor with and ancient Gaugemaster DC controller and can achieve a full rotation in 58 seconds not quite 1RPM but close enough. Finishing will go on to back burner now until I can install it into the layout (yet to be constructed) then it will be handrails and painting the deck. I may be a little quite now for a week or so whilst I prepare the room for laying the base boards.
