Re: Wagon Loads
The wagons have now had well over a week outside & have now been taken back inside to dry out. Looks like I will have to apply some more PVA as some of the loads are a bit loose. Next thing will be to test run, more PVA & then weather all of them to various degrees except a couple which will be left...

Re: "BelmontBahn" - an Exhibition Layout.
To follow on, test running threw up an issue with the curved points on the right hand rear board. Quite a number of locomotive derailed on them, mostly steam (we had just started running more of them) & some other longer 6-axle locomotives. We are too close to the Tenterden show change them so we wi...

Re: Wagon Loads
Test running with the other wagons proved OK, 20 in all. Overall, this train is heavy & requires a locomotive with decent haulage power & adhesion. The pictures show them on test & the set together just before they were put outside. The next stage, when the adhesive has well & truly set is to put th...

Re: Wagon Loads
Clearly, if the wagons were actually filled with the "sprinkles" then they would be too heavy so some packing is needed. You can use cardboard for example or some polystyrene (which we used). Simply cut to size & glue in place. Paint the insides of the wagon & the top of the packing piece in a suita...

Wagon Loads
Although HO wagons are the subject of this thread the principle applies equally to other scales. One of my (too) many pet hates is to see rakes of empty open wagons. We kept the scrap steel wagons that we ran on St.Laurent but some of the Chinese manufactured ones had gone brittle &/or banana shaped...

Re: "BelmontBahn" - an Exhibition Layout.
No pictures at the moment but last weekend saw the completion of the basic track laying to the storage loops & preparation for the automation.
Also, a little more progress was made on the scenics.

Re: "BelmontBahn" - an Exhibition Layout.
As the trackwork was laid it was tested - mechanically with some coaches & the "hand from the sky" & electrically using a 12v 5a power supply, a 50w halogen spotlight bulb and a digital multimeter. The rolling stock was very noisy on the Kingspan, more noise than we expected ! All went well until we...
