ARZC Layout Update

It has been a long time since my last update.  Part of that is due to an addition to our family, we had our first child at the beginning of July, she takes up most of our time, but it is wonderful.  I've been working where I can on the layout, mainly getting the subroadbed, roadbed and mainline track installed as well as getting some rough cut fascia put up.  I now have a fully functional mainline loop for a continuous run, just need to cut the circuit breakers in when I get there.

Platform for Lochdubh finished

During the last few days I finished the platform for Lochdubh and the station forecourt.

Ideas for small switching layout? (Decided on design I think)

I am looking for ideas that I could use for a small 2'x5' switching layout. I have that much space in my room and am trying to plan as much as possible to pitch the idea to my parents.

The switches available are:

Platform construction started at Lochdubh

Today I started with the platform construction at Lochdubh. For these I used some downloads which were part of the Hornby Magazine  Operation Built It Series. Which ran in late 2013 and early 2014.

I also dismantled the Your Model Railway Village Mk1 coach.

Lochdubh in 00

A few years ago I started building some modules for an 00 gauge railway,

But then I lost my interest in 00 for some time.

Today I did some work on my 00 Lochdubh modules.

During my last operating session, a Heljan Class 26 changed

ownership from my friend Matthias to me. These started a little boost to

work on Lochdubh. To get to the right width for FREMO 00 modules

I expanded the modules by 10 cm. And I also built a new modules,

on these the line continues and I will place a distillery on it.

"Walking Tour" video of Brian Clogg's BCR Squamish Division layout

A second layout featured in the Vancouver Train expo Virtual Layout Tours was Brian Clogg's BCR Squamish Subdivision Layout.  The video is a walking tour of 2/3rds of his extensive system wherein your humble narrator peppers Brian with questions about his layout's design, construction and operations and Brian does his best to diligently respond.

Brian and I hope you enjoy the tour!

Rebuild has started

I have started the 5 year plan wink. During my 2 week vacation the first of October I was able to clear & sheet rock a 12 x 13 area next to the existing layout. I have been able in the last three weeks on and off to complete bench work & shelving on the north wall of this area. I will post progress every month or so.

Layout Update - 3 Nov 2015: Running Trains & Final Planning

This is the layout update for early November 2015. The wiring for the Paradigm to Union Station yard limit section (soldering feeders, connections to terminal strips, and connections to the main bus) has been completed. A DCC test of this section of power district 2 has also been successfully completed.  All of the tracks, including sidings, in the new section have been fully tested with DCC without any issues.

This picture shows the area where the DCC wiring has been completed.
