Building Elvenhome, an N Gauge layout

Hi Steve,

Can't seem to reach your page. I'll maybe try UTube itself until the issue is sorted. ..... Another Edinburgh man I see. Which part ?

 

Same here Steve - 404 page not found error

Fantastic video. A great insight into both the layout and various methods that you are using. Looking forward to your next instalment.

I personally won't be at Warley as I have an exhibition in Elgin shortly. I hope you manage to make yourself known to some of the other members who may make the pilgrimage. It's always nice to put a face to the name and enjoy a blethering.

Great to have you with us, and I hope you are enjoying the forum. Thanks Aldo for endorsing Platform 1 as well. It means a lot to know we are doing something right.

Cheers for now

I'm in Saughton mains reasonably near the Gyle ( about 5 minutes away ). Maybe we can catch up some time.

I'm looking at possibly heading down to the Edinburgh and Lothians minature railway club down in Piershill at some point. If you fancy a look at their club facilities, let me know and we could maybe meet down there. I'm sure like most clubs, they'd appreciate some new members.

Just a thought.

Cheers for now.

Forgot to mention. As far as a mechanism for your turntable goes, I know that Paul of this very parish is planning a how to on that very subject. I can't say when that will be but I know he was considering it as there are two people sitting waiting for a solution already. Myself for an O Gauge version and another N Gauger " Marty " .

So ..... It won't be right away but I'm sure it is on the cards.

Paul is the resident wizard of the dark side.

Cheers

No worries Steve. Let me get the Elgin exhibition out the way ( not next weekend but the next again ) and we can have a clash of heads
My other half used to work in Saughton House for the DVLA. we stay about 2 mins up the road in the new Miller Houses that were built around 20 years ago.
I spoke with the guys from the Edinburgh club when I was at the Dundee exhibition a couple of weeks back and they are keen to encourage new members.

I'll look forward to that.
cheers

There is an article in the October edition of the 'Australian Model Railway Magazine' regarding mechanisms and operating turntables using arduinos. Toto will have a copy soon...

Cheers, Gary.

 

Hi Steve,

Mallard no less. Very nice. You have done a nice job of the viaduct. A couple more photos would be nice. I have not forgotten out previous discussion about a potential visit to the Edinburgh & Lthians Minature Railway Club. We'll need to come up with a date and a plan for invading them.
I have met a couple of their gang on a few occasions and they seem really freindly with lots going on.

I'll look up their meet times and come back with a suggestion or two over the pm system if you are still up for it.

Cheers

Toto

 

Nice loco. I'm impressed with the level of detail on the loco and also the teak coaches. Are the Teaks from Dapol or GF/Bachmann ??

Cheers, Gary.

 

Great Steve. I'll look forward to the photos and will get back to you with a suggestion on the club.
great stuff
