Re: BelmontBahn progress
At last ! I've now finished checking all my rolling stock (carriages & wagons). All the back-to-backs checked, coupling checked & entered onto an inventory. Boring stuff but all stock is now serviceable. Still got some non-essential work to do such as adding tail lights, populating & lighting passen...

Rolling Stock Maintenance.
When sorting rolling stock to prepare for BelmontBahn I found a couple of sets that simply "played up", mostly derailing. Some stock was fine & after changing the couplings for the earlier Roco ones (similar to the Hornby ones which are a tad longer) & fitting control magnets was logged & put away f...

Re: BelmontBahn progress
The last month or so nothing much has happened to BelmontBahn. However, a lot has happened on BelmontBahn. I have tested/repaired/serviced most of the traction fleet, only 5 locomotives needing further attention & 1 to be "DCC'ed". The rolling stock is taking it's time, but only around 6 sets to do ...

Re: BelmontBahn progress
A couple of prototype trees looking a bit lonely.
I'm well pleased with these & only need about 200 more.
The forestry ground needs to be sorted as does the backscene.

Re: BelmontBahn progress
The modern part of the town. Only the station building is fixed & is a replacement for an earlier temporary building as this part of the town that suffered damage during 1939/1945. The Multi-Story Carpark will probably stay where it is but will be shown as a derelict building about to be demolished....

Re: BelmontBahn progress
Shows the old engine shed (no longer connected to the main line).
The track is not fixed - just a possible feature with the Glaskasten being worked on as a project (it's a non-runner).
The disused snowplough is a "feature" that seems to appear on our layouts.

Re: BelmontBahn progress
Some of the buildings have been cut in half - here you can see the rear sections. they are all fully lit & most of them are fixed. The back garden/yards still need to be detailed.
This image gives a good view of the scissors crossing. It's cosmetic only as most DB stations are bi-directional.

Re: BelmontBahn progress
The older part of the town. Only the building by the Signal Box are fixed, the others are close to their final positions but awaiting other buildings to be constructed as nearly everything on "BelmontBahn" is done by eye.
