Unfortunately due to the Covid lockdowns my visits to the Man Cave have been few and far between, however Dad has been slowly working away on a number of projects. The biggest project on the semi-completed list is the start of the township at Rosella. This includes a servo, bakery, church, pub and a few houses, as well as an overhead bridge on one side and a level crossing on the other. The level crossing is setup with prototypical train detection thanks to an Azatrax level crossing kit, which is working quite well and easy to install. On to the photos!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdhVcD5ixOhXFEkUm3BA6SLiGad8Zt2MrfBacRkOCQRBCtYmAogzBhvIwg8rz67I1HZBgBTOgZLqSXQ0uZCMBhm2o33WrN96evzEAo2Y7-bzRDSwsx5JGZjdOYAAplGFR1ZIthvJ3hgg/s2048/20211005_142740.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

The first was repainting 27 VHQF hoppers from a fictional yellow livery into their proper wagon red colour scheme. This will then mean we have 2 rakes of Apex hoppers, an early 80's set and a FA/PN 2010's set. The other project is the IRA MZ. This started life as a Lima/Roco DSB MZ, and had to be heavily modified to represent the MZ's as running today in NSW. The mech was also ripped out and replaced with a custom chassis with an Auscision motor and bogies. Definitely looks the part now!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpKG6Mb-9r8x4NEcdRGbZzV6BK0rVB-GB7CWY8L0G4ZuVvUpKHcsKwwn0gTBjfw-9wgTloj0iEhOG0CFJ6q5iYbqALQtTcdTuyThf9A0HV4gLCjvBszfhjuV5cXtlgBeRUpw1xIb700g/s2048/20211005_144142.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpKG6Mb-9r8x4NEcdRGbZzV6BK0rVB-GB7CWY8L0G4ZuVvUpKHcsKwwn0gTBjfw-9wgTloj0iEhOG0CFJ6q5iYbqALQtTcdTuyThf9A0HV4gLCjvBszfhjuV5cXtlgBeRUpw1xIb700g/w400-h300/20211005_144142.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC9eV57-WgcovFS_bR0HOg-JtA9_PJ4dz241iZx2fQ-nD-OoSTnbRr2hVQxSRbQO_1yhZW9jM02Eq5Ef4hDVc_nPTUbhamBIHy1JIWboc6nzG2ZIWSkXbhYaSi2wJVC6_Ri0tQZqvDJg/s2048/20211005_143232.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC9eV57-WgcovFS_bR0HOg-JtA9_PJ4dz241iZx2fQ-nD-OoSTnbRr2hVQxSRbQO_1yhZW9jM02Eq5Ef4hDVc_nPTUbhamBIHy1JIWboc6nzG2ZIWSkXbhYaSi2wJVC6_Ri0tQZqvDJg/w400-h300/20211005_143232.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Back to some more scenery now. There are a few corners on the layout where there is not much room for scenery, but enough room to be noticeable if it was empty. The solution for one of these gaps is just a simple embankment with a highway running along side. On the other side of this horseshoe curve will be a Bunnings warehouse, with the roof flat so you can store your drink or phone somewhere that's not going to damage the scenery. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnqqF5lmn43WBUR0HQUbDFtXJ4n8y1zHW7PDTYrAo7QYGJzOEH1P1_2wOprZGW8TbPIKZBQpA5oA1qOsGaqmkgj2MCCMcWnYyX4cryPq8mJ7lj1iih8R93JBEaVu6Y521vZGyZB0Ks8w/s2048/20211005_142906.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnqqF5lmn43WBUR0HQUbDFtXJ4n8y1zHW7PDTYrAo7QYGJzOEH1P1_2wOprZGW8TbPIKZBQpA5oA1qOsGaqmkgj2MCCMcWnYyX4cryPq8mJ7lj1iih8R93JBEaVu6Y521vZGyZB0Ks8w/w400-h300/20211005_142906.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrAzhs6CAYHimTgJGqH2KENtSZxKd6JkBz0rZ9xPPKFGcYFW-GNLTONPsQQWZH_007YXx6MCEbE9s-7V2lp0JBCxvwgX5Ptb8p5zPpaA2rgJuIB09ok3SttOu9cHOWX7_Vm7G-VFhqvA/s2048/20211005_143039.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrAzhs6CAYHimTgJGqH2KENtSZxKd6JkBz0rZ9xPPKFGcYFW-GNLTONPsQQWZH_007YXx6MCEbE9s-7V2lp0JBCxvwgX5Ptb8p5zPpaA2rgJuIB09ok3SttOu9cHOWX7_Vm7G-VFhqvA/w400-h300/20211005_143039.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">2 extra roads added to the Apex quarry, to store locos and guards vans. </td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5Q4yvIzmg6hYTX3Do9-cZa0sxkOV0KnakLQQsiYQyET1XYThd-R4XF4lEHMrPfHm7yhcUBMItI4oFaT4ZMXK2gDNyJvTaQGQlvaRiLiP5TM5F7PTSkgfE7vffGthUkcBRRR4BoKNeRw/s2048/20211005_143007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5Q4yvIzmg6hYTX3Do9-cZa0sxkOV0KnakLQQsiYQyET1XYThd-R4XF4lEHMrPfHm7yhcUBMItI4oFaT4ZMXK2gDNyJvTaQGQlvaRiLiP5TM5F7PTSkgfE7vffGthUkcBRRR4BoKNeRw/w400-h300/20211005_143007.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Fuel depot starting to take shape at Rosella.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX8X6qyEGsfbp2BmjdZzXAj7PWIdaQNCWfVI-_eUbXEqcg5CLp9UfDjWZCemyTtDA0RLU9bmv0x_KJBUZKCGAfTsUeCohWcJwGdnrat0AuY3iRWOsH2xOzlDomF_xUNzWIwmHtwQOmZg/s2048/20211005_143109.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX8X6qyEGsfbp2BmjdZzXAj7PWIdaQNCWfVI-_eUbXEqcg5CLp9UfDjWZCemyTtDA0RLU9bmv0x_KJBUZKCGAfTsUeCohWcJwGdnrat0AuY3iRWOsH2xOzlDomF_xUNzWIwmHtwQOmZg/w400-h300/20211005_143109.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNk5yOHK7lKBIjhV4fT-2upkvybaJuVyBo47tvzF3Wl9Sro987sEy-Aj92caCqZ-Cyzew_07aZiRWXwNLHqdEH7Nn1J7jx2LJWqmUEuBcqMigCXx83TIGQtox3LXJ8maqIlIrnVJr62g/s2048/20211005_143122.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNk5yOHK7lKBIjhV4fT-2upkvybaJuVyBo47tvzF3Wl9Sro987sEy-Aj92caCqZ-Cyzew_07aZiRWXwNLHqdEH7Nn1J7jx2LJWqmUEuBcqMigCXx83TIGQtox3LXJ8maqIlIrnVJr62g/w400-h300/20211005_143122.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Another corner with not much room.

What a crazy year 2020 has turned out to be, with the world falling into chaos and a lot of new model railway products delayed until everything returns back to normal. Dad has been busy of late out in the man cave, making the most of his isolation and job share leave. The branch is really starting to take shape now, with the trackwork for the entire branch approx half done. The cement sidings are nearly finished with scenery, and a level crossing with correct detection and flashing lights is about to be installed on the approach to Rosella station. Onto the pictures! The first 6 show the construction of a module designed to fit against the back wall. As this area is hard to get to, the scenery was completed before hand for the most part. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUVz7CVGNDz2THCU4LFOAoOliiULyB029KnGzvvtie-0sPQKZVsNlkyIYdG62gGOOzpkxJPWvPtg_DyvuKSVj_Y96C6HDj4qrq318qiTRibM-u2FxpiCBiF0UYe4QLZcWclBoxGx5zVA/s1280/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="display: inline !important; padding: 1em 0px;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="1280" height="384" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUVz7CVGNDz2THCU4LFOAoOliiULyB029KnGzvvtie-0sPQKZVsNlkyIYdG62gGOOzpkxJPWvPtg_DyvuKSVj_Y96C6HDj4qrq318qiTRibM-u2FxpiCBiF0UYe4QLZcWclBoxGx5zVA/w512-h384/2.jpg" width="512" /></a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkGTvydg70ogWkGhewGpmJBxLWZm9CphrpWKPPGjO9-oQJSa_bM-KcLYDJlQn1Wqy8-zJm8i5Kze9I3NyNEn-rdqXHwHECnTXdPK6njsNC4enr3T2KrvOpmnf1rQjOjkFKUIgvHnip4Q/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkGTvydg70ogWkGhewGpmJBxLWZm9CphrpWKPPGjO9-oQJSa_bM-KcLYDJlQn1Wqy8-zJm8i5Kze9I3NyNEn-rdqXHwHECnTXdPK6njsNC4enr3T2KrvOpmnf1rQjOjkFKUIgvHnip4Q/w384-h512/3.jpg" width="384" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDqdlqYc4tg62OXznEGMaxurNi1405WIBUa4kEqxPnR5MV36DghRRcSGcFOFyZeHeYPjfYHduudY8ed_rcvgHh5r5CHVxKXjaE2Im9vla6cPsqYsp0AAJd_pivgv_kDYCwvPI9l409Jw/s1024/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1024" height="384" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDqdlqYc4tg62OXznEGMaxurNi1405WIBUa4kEqxPnR5MV36DghRRcSGcFOFyZeHeYPjfYHduudY8ed_rcvgHh5r5CHVxKXjaE2Im9vla6cPsqYsp0AAJd_pivgv_kDYCwvPI9l409Jw/w512-h384/4.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyCBbpMM-jcAn5_u9HHscH1maZKg6YCfgKauU2US9Og2G_I8nNOyb9_vuHFdRwZC6A5w7Cu7A8M9c8Mqt1MdY9V-7cwxV6cM_N4QxgD-MIBl-PbSSLN19zqEsKKQrou_NZ5tzkDOLpVg/s1600/5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="384" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyCBbpMM-jcAn5_u9HHscH1maZKg6YCfgKauU2US9Og2G_I8nNOyb9_vuHFdRwZC6A5w7Cu7A8M9c8Mqt1MdY9V-7cwxV6cM_N4QxgD-MIBl-PbSSLN19zqEsKKQrou_NZ5tzkDOLpVg/w512-h384/5.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmn2Pj1x1yBgTHNOfQpPC2bZwZdGFusNvJ_5rJ2jZIKFXtv7_PyBYdycvSzEiTImprRrnbyuxrfbc3gz-DS6fc_iSTbr37eKYfDQ8SlCqOKjFvb-mpaB2KHt5hHaDN40hHlxbcpOgKrA/s2543/6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1236" data-original-width="2543" height="249" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmn2Pj1x1yBgTHNOfQpPC2bZwZdGFusNvJ_5rJ2jZIKFXtv7_PyBYdycvSzEiTImprRrnbyuxrfbc3gz-DS6fc_iSTbr37eKYfDQ8SlCqOKjFvb-mpaB2KHt5hHaDN40hHlxbcpOgKrA/w512-h249/6.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim2yLAkhLWtMOO5O4q8mfNGGIeBg5NkfHX2vV4jO2HIrjqbzYm-baSNG25QRVDFChwEQ315qtgiRlNFhQpZWea5Mrqp_sJ4Int2_H_IJ_uJ7tdeAUhHXb2pMZDNfpHQgogxC2dPy63-Q/s2543/7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1236" data-original-width="2543" height="249" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim2yLAkhLWtMOO5O4q8mfNGGIeBg5NkfHX2vV4jO2HIrjqbzYm-baSNG25QRVDFChwEQ315qtgiRlNFhQpZWea5Mrqp_sJ4Int2_H_IJ_uJ7tdeAUhHXb2pMZDNfpHQgogxC2dPy63-Q/w512-h249/7.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">The broad gauge SSR Kensington rake is now complete, and the siding lengthened to accomodate the full 22 car train.

G'day All,</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2020 is now well and truly upon us, so its time for one of my sporadic updates to the blog! A lot more of the branch has taken shape since the last update, with the cement sidings nearly finished, and trackwork finished to the first station on the branch (which is about halfway for the total length of the branch). The station area will consist of a loop road long enough to cross 30 car grain trains, platform road, a few shed roads, a cattle siding, railmotor sidings and further around the corner, a timber and fuel siding. Onto the photos! </div>

Hi all,</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I promised for more regular updates however that again hasn't occurred and it is now 11 months since the last one! Might just have to make this a yearly thing. There has been a fair amount of scenery done in the main room as this work needs to be completed before the branch can continue. Reason behind this is that the areas that will become underneath the branch will be very difficult to reach once the branch is installed above. The SCT depot is more or less complete, with scenery work continuing around to the LPC and Intermodal depot. I'll let the pictures do the talking!</div>

Till next time!tomanderson1994http://www.blogger.com/profile/11856255483947589310noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139680217508666676.post-3024726884823861932018-03-15T18:45:00.000+11:002018-03-15T18:45:58.371+11:00A long overdue update!Hi all,<br />
<br />
It's been a long time between drinks, however a lot of work has been done in the last 12 months...I've just been too lazy to update the blog! A number of locations around the layout have had scenery started on, including finishing off the Sadleirs yard, parts of the cement works on the branch, the main intermodal/steel yard and the SCT yard.<br />
<br />
Due to the fact that when the branch is built (this mostly only applies to the 'big' room though where the branch comes out quite wide) it will be very difficult to get underneath to do scenery work. Therefore it was decided that the most important part of the layout to complete now was the 'big' room, which includes the SCT depot and main intermodal yards, as well as the PN Locomotive Provisioning Centre. Once this is done, the branch can then be worked on and finished off to the end of the line.<br />
<br />
As usual, I'll let the photos do the talking to show what progress has been made.<br />

<br />
Long time between posts. Not much has been done in the last 6-8 months due to work commitments and what not. The branch has finally taken off, with work completed in the back room up to where the cement sidings are located. From here the main line will continue to rise around the horseshoe in the middle of the room to Rosella. A few photos to show off what has been completed...<br />

In terms of rollingstock arrivals there hasn't been much since the start of the year. PSM A2 and BCE were probably the best acquisitions, RKKY's from Hawkmount, SDS GY's, SRM Snail (or is that Vlocity?) and Auscisions latest rereun of the RY and E Cars. Oh, and picked up a Ben Singleton built XR with DCC for a good price!</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just a small update to keep everyone up to date and where the Man Cave is at. Scenery has begun on the layout, starting where the door is, where the main junction for the container/steel terminal and ballast sidings is located. The technique used is very simple, paint the base colour first (dark grey for the ballast areas and a light brown earth colour for grass areas) and then sprinkle over your grass and dirt whilst the paint is still wet to create more adhesion. For the ballast we use a ballast applicator to get a nice even spread across the track, and then move a bit around to suit what you need (no such thing as uniform ballast in real life!). Once everything is in place, a PVA/water mix is sprayed over the entire area to keep it all in place. </div>

Another project I've just completed are kitbashing a few Lima IP coaches into 'near-enough' VR Vinelander sleeper cars. Mods include lots of styrene, decals, Powerline vestibules, #5 kadees, Auscision wheelsets, decals, BGB underfloor kits, SEM handbrakes and steps that were left over from other projects. No where near exact but they definitely look the part!</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Has been a long time since drinks! Not much has happened in the Man Cave lately due to work commitments and other various things happening. Something Dad has been working on is signals and signal boxes, as we move toward finally putting some scenery in. Dad's signal box idea is to have the control panels hidden away inside a 'lookalike' control room that has a flip lid for easy access. The result is what follows and has turned out to be a great idea. All of the wiring is kept underneath the panel, utilising a couple of brass terminal blocks (same as what was used for the track wiring) for all of the connections. </div>

The layout is set up so only mainline points have been fitted with point motors, leaving everything else still hand operated (as it mostly is in real life really). </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Rollingstock additions has also been minimal since the last update, the XPT arrived including a couple of special livered Power cars, 4 L Classes (1xWestrail, 1xPN and 2xATN) from SRM fitted with sound and 3 first series X Classes also arrived this week. Oh and picked up a few goodies from the Auscision store opening including a GWA, WBAX Van pack and another AHGX Grain hopper pack. Also picked up a couple of VHQF's cheap from the Sunshine exhibition to replace two of the Railmotor models version we had which were fitted with the wrong bottom doors. Maybe it hasn't been so minimal!!</div>

<br />
Recently took delivery of an Eureka HUB Set and also fitted our 4520 and 42101 with authentic Loksound chips from Mike at DCCSound, took them for a spin and also took some videos. Would have preferred an unweathered HUB Set but it looks great nonetheless! Excuse the quality of the videos, taken quickly with my personal phone.<br />

Hi all,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With Auscision's recent release of the GT46C-ACe class locomotives I thought I'd put up a bit of a tutorial (information gathered thanks to Mike Walters from DCCSound) on how to get the ditch lights to alternate with the horn button on DCC. Bit of a disclaimer first, I do not take any responsibility for any damage caused to your loco or DCC chip/system especially if something goes kapoot or catches fire, however I highly doubt that will happen if you follow the instructions to the letter ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First things first. Out of the box the GT46 was meant to have this feature pre-programmed into the circuit board however it doesn't work out so well and you end up with this photo here...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFCXvX_Zkx9IKI4zJGORve4urytTsFTQbC7qIl31Yt68Zsh2fysPx3tIjzsf0Lo0EdDOZjkw_iY8dsFAv8p9GEe7uD-XP2_r3bRWa42N8d-o4m3ZGyxW0PkWsqSZgpFmhzmFFdFbtTYg/s1600/20150820_222141.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFCXvX_Zkx9IKI4zJGORve4urytTsFTQbC7qIl31Yt68Zsh2fysPx3tIjzsf0Lo0EdDOZjkw_iY8dsFAv8p9GEe7uD-XP2_r3bRWa42N8d-o4m3ZGyxW0PkWsqSZgpFmhzmFFdFbtTYg/s400/20150820_222141.jpg" width="225" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What you're seeing is F0 selected for the headlights and F1 selected for the ditchlights. Problem is only one works, and when you press F2 the ditchlight on the long hood end turns on. So I needed a fix, and thankfully Mike helped me out! Please keep in mind that I have fitted my GT46's with LokPilot decoders and do not know if it will work with other brand of decoders. Also I have performed all of this on my Digitrax system using OPS programming on the mainline (same method you'd use for changing the CV's for speed matching). So how do you do it? The following CV's need to be changed in exactly this order, reading left to right. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
CV31 = 16, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
CV32 = 2</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
----------------------</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
CV394 = 20</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
CV396 = 128</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
CV410 = 40</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
CV412 = 128</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
CV32 = 3</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
----------------------</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
CV426 = 20</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
CV442 = 40</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
CV32 = 0</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
----------------------</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
CV275 = 9</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
CV279 = 2</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
CV291 = 9</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
CV295 = 3</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
CV283 = 9</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
CV287 = 2</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
CV299 = 9</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
CV303 = 3</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
If you've entered these correctly, your new functions will be:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
F1 = Headlights and marker lights On/Off</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
F2 = Enables flashing ditchlights</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
F11 = Ditchlights On/Off</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These are directional, so will work both ways. The end product should look something like this:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We're yet to receive our TT/LDP/SSR's so I'm unsure if the problem has been fixed since the SCT was released in March, however I doubt it has and so this tutorial applies to those models as well. If theres any questions please feel free to leave a comment, and any constructive criticism on how to do this differently or improve them would be greatly appreciated!</div>

Hi all,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Thought I'd post something on here that may or may not interest a few people depending on the size of their collection, and that is recording your collection onto a database. The purpose of this in the beginning for us was to just have a record on file of what we have just in case something happened to the collection and for insurance reasons, however as the collection has grown considerably over time, so has the detail put into the database. What started as just what the item was and it's price has extended to DCC code, whether its been weathered or fitted with sound, expected resale value and so on. A request from our insurer was to have photo evidence of what we have to ensure it was insured for the right price, so that's when I looked into setting up a photo database, where you just click on the item and a picture of it appears. The whole thing is then put on a DVD (About 4GB worth of photos) and given to the insurance company so they can see exactly what we have. So far our database just includes locos and rollingstock, however one day we may add in track, points, point motors, buildings, signals, etc. Rollingstock is separated across a few pages rather than one massive one, and categorised to make it easier to read. First I'll start with a couple of screengrabs of the file structure so you can see how its working behind the scenes.</div>

<br />
Been a long time since the last update! Ended up selling the Austrains 81's on evilBay and have ordered 3 SDS ones with sound instead, so that project was scraped. Latest additions to the fleet include the Auscision SCT's picked up at Sandown, two VR Electric L Class's and an Auscision 4520 as preserved in Tuscan. Oh and of course, the SRM VLocity fitted with a DCCSound chip from Mike Walters. Have also sold a lot of rollingstock to make way for future additions, including our Lima Overland set, NSWGR FS cars, Kitbashed Lima tankers and a number of C and X Class locos. Still working out whether I'll put my WCR S Cars up for sale, just don't want to let them go!<br />
<br />
On to the layout. A lot of work has been completed since the last update, including the container/steel terminal and the Pacific National EDI loco depot. The whole shed has also been cleaned from rubbish, the plastering completed and is now ready for scenery! Or maybe time to do some modelling/weathering of which a lot has been put on the backburner. Off to the photos, have taken a few so sit back and enjoy. All of our rollingstock is out on the track as well now.<br />

Another update from the mancave. Cleaned up the SCT sidings so decided to give them a rollingstock test, and everything went to plan which was great to see. Was asked to provide a diagram by a person on facebook however haven't managed to do one yet however hopefully I'll have one soon. Couple of happy snaps: </div>

Last photo of the day. This is a cheap way to keep your track clean, a tip we picked up from the guy who runs EFD Simply Glues at the Sydney exhibition last year. Using your standard track cleaning rubber is good to get the gritty stuff off the track however it leaves a residue which can cause poor electrical pickup as well as dirty wheels. All this is is a cheap disposable razor (buy them in packs of 50 from the $2 shop) and a piece of felt that has a sticky side (bought in long strips and then cut to size, sticks straight on). Then pour some of the EFD Track cleaning fluid on and away you go! Haven't had any troubles with this method so far. If anyone else has some track cleaning tips or tricks please share! </div>

Some more cleaning has been done in the past few weeks and we are now about 60-70% of the way around. Decided to do some testing while we were at it as a few sidings have been modified from the original plan. Here's the Apex pulling out of the siding (an operation which blocks all lines, as is in real life).</div>

<br />
Clean up has begun in the last few weeks, starting on the right hand side of the layout and eventually working our way around the whole thing. Tidying up loose ends is also apart of this, such as finishing off the fascia, finishing off all sidings and fixing up anything that's gone array. This first photo shows nearly the whole right hand side of the layout cleaned up and ready to go. Unfortunately due to the dust caused by sweeping the floor and drilling holes has cause the track to get quite dirty, which will be a big job once everythings cleared to get the track up to scratch.<br />
<br />

The pass yards and branch back platform have also been completed. The 3 roads closest to the camera will be for Locos, vans and any other misc. passenger rollingstock. The longest road in the middle is the shunt road to head back towards the storage yards on the right. The 3 roads above this will be the 'shed' roads (Something like Spencer Streets shed). The last road next to the mainline will be the 'wash' road.</div>

<br />
Been a long time since I've done any updates on the shed, hopefully now will become more regular as I've moved all of my old posts from Victrainz onto this new blog, and will hopefully get out to a wider audience. A lot has happened since the last update. All major mainline trackwork has been laid (with the exception of a few yards as well as the main container/steel terminal) and all wiring has been completed. Have also hooked up all of the Digitrax UP4's. Turntable has been put in place, still yet to fit the tracks to it. The bridge section across the door has finally been completed (a section Dad was having trouble with, thinking about how to achieve what he wanted and getting the right angle). Now onto the photos. 20 to get through today, please excuse the mess! Starting to clean and finish up sections at a time so we can finally complete the maiden run.<br />

The bridge connected. Still room for the Maintenance siding headshunt to go. Plug is on the left hand side and needs to be in to give power to the bridge and the section on the left hand side. This stops any potential accidents from occurring in case the bridge has been forgotten. RHS does not require this safety measure as when the bridge drops down there is a lip which the kadees will hit and stop the train. Broken kadee is cheaper than a loco!</div>

So as you can see a lot of work has been completed, but theres a lot of work still to go. Hopefully will have the mainline up and running in a few weeks. </div>

<br />
Another update from the Andersons railway shed. A lot of work has been done since the previous shots were taken, including a lot of benchwork and a bit of testing. The roof caved in due to heavy rain/hail in the back room which halted progress quite significantly, however that has since been fixed (still have to replace the piece of plaster though). On to the photos...<br />

As we'll be having two BG and one SG track wiring becomes a bit complicated. Here shows the track arrangement for where the Apex siding will be as will as where the stabling yard line joins up to all 3 tracks (so you can come off any line to go into the stabling yard), looking much like Kilmore East does. Happy to say I got it working first time with all the insulators and droppers required, Y164 doing the honors of testing.<br />

Of course with the previous layout we never had ambitions of scenery as we knew it would have to be ripped up eventually so what was shown in my Workshop thread was the layout in it's final form. The best thing about a new house isn't the house, but the shed in which the train layout is going. So this thread is designed much like Rod's to update you on the progress on the new layout, which of course will take time! Dad's in charge of the construction and design of the layout, I'm in charge of electronics and moral support...<br />
<br />
<u>Preparing the shed - Stage 1</u><br />
The shed is approx 9mx6m, however due to the fact it has to be insulated it will be a tad smaller than that. The previous owners added a section on at the back which gives the impression that it is two rooms. The rear door will be permanently opened. A false roof with manhole has been installed in the main room for added insulation (and for something to hang the lights off!). The benches are yet to be installed as work is still being completed on the insulation and plastering work.<br />
<br />
<u>The Layout - Stage 2</u><br />
Still a lot to be decided with this stage as how much space there is around the room will determine a lot of things. We will be using Digitrax for our DCC system, including a 5amp command station, 8 amp booster and the Zephyr starter pack as another booster/controller. There will be 3 tracks, one standard gauge, two broad (up and down lines) however they can all be accessed from the storage yards below. There will be lots of industries along the line, including a number along the branch line which will run on a level above the main benches. A lot more to add to this section as a lot of the ideas are sitting in Dad's head!<br />
<br />
<u>Scenery and Detail - Stage 3</u><br />
The branch line will be heavily populated with scenery to represent a display type layout. The main line won't be treated with as much scenery however will be detailed nonetheless. Scenery and detailing however are a long, long way off. The layout has to be running at 100% first!<br />
<br />
Now before you see the photos I must say, please mind the mess! Most of it will be either thrown out or stored underneath the layout. Hopefully you can get a better idea of where everythings going once the shed starts to develop more.<br />

A lot more has been done since I took these photos so will endeavour to take some more next time I'm out there. As you can see there is a long way to go before the inaugural train run, however an educated guess will tell you it'll probably be before the Eureka R Class which has been ordered since 2005 arrives (Dad's live in 4 different houses and had 3 layouts since then...).<br />
