A few photos of latest happenings. The 9J is sound fitted now and Single DCC. I’ve also been progressing with these 3D printed GCR vans. 2 completed so far. My focus now shifting to the club layout Silverbury which is going to Bristol in May. I need to make sure the rolling stock I’m providing is up to scratch!

Original release Stirling Single finally DCC fitted. Like a great sewing machine passing.

Rapido are rather nicely doing the 6 wheel GCR brake van, I’ve already got a brass kit one but I’ll certainly get 1 or 2 Rapido ones to join my GCR brake van fleet!

A new part of the hobby for me, I’ve never been a huge fan of soldering so this MERG DCC Booster Kit for the layout seemed somewhat daunting. I’ve been taking my time and relaxing with some classical music and I’ve actually found it quite enjoyable. Like a soldering jigsaw puzzle, the instructions are very good and the PSU labelled so it’s just a case of sticking the components in the right hole. Obviously there’s still the high chance it’ll go boom and burn the house down when I apply power but you never know, I might surprise myself!

I’ve been busy on my own layout recently and have finally got both running lines and goods loop laid and powered. Those two junctions have needed sorting out for longer than I care to admit. Still a bit of work to do. The Frog Juicer (green circuit board) doesn’t appear to be working which is leaving the points on the big junction unreliable. I also need a few more for the rest of the layout. The DCC bus wire is also a little messy so I want to get them tidied into terminal blocks.

The Up line is down! We spent an hour two pinning and super-elevation the Up line through the station, we used a platform edge spacing tool to determine the radius. Next time will be the turn of the Down line.

I decided to put 7304 into economy unlined green livery which it was is from May 1961 until I guess it was scrapped. Removing the lining with T-Cut and large late BR emblems from Railtec.

Hopefully we should be able to continue work on the layout in a fortnight, in the meantime I have renumbered some of the steam fleet to locos allocated to Taunton and which worked the line. Transfers from Railtec. The 3MTs need a little repair work and are missing their detailing packs, the Mogul has had a new smokebox door handle fitted.

Dulverton work continues, prepared the point to the horse box siding and glued down cork underlay through one of the platforms. The need to let that dry means we couldn’t really do anymore today. Our host isn’t available for a few weeks so it will be a while before we can continue. In the meantime I’ve locos and rolling stock to weather, renumber, populate etc.

Ever since Cavalex released the Class 56 Farewell Tour set I’ve always fancied recreating the tour as I was on it way back in January 2023. I was always tentative at how well top and tailing the train would go, fortunately it ran well without issues! This is as accurate a train I can make, now the theory is proved I can tart it up!
