N scale club layout. - danielb - 01-16-2014
As I've not shown any progress of my club layout, I thought now would be the time to change that.
There is currently myself and one other chap building this, but I still think we are getting along pretty quickly. This is six months worth of work:

Wow, pretty impressive work from a club of 22 let alone 2! Is it a new club?
Re: N scale club layout. - TTRAK_andrew - 01-16-2014
G'day All, I would love to see these photo's but Photobucket doesn't allow any image for me with Firefox in Australia except a text box with words "Guess who's popular", or similar.
It's our third day of 42ºC (107.60ºF) in the shade with a big bushfire 80km in the Grampians National Park to our southwest here in regional Victoria, Australia.
Regards, Andrew G.
Re: N scale club layout. - Tyson Rayles - 01-16-2014
Yeah, I'm not seeing any pics either.
Re: N scale club layout. - danielb - 01-17-2014
Links fixed, photos should work now.
Re: N scale club layout. - Tyson Rayles - 01-17-2014
Wow, that's quite an undertaking! You have really made a lot of progress in just six months.
Re: N scale club layout. - danielb - 01-17-2014
Cheers Mike, much appreciated! The plan is to get all the track down then try and sort the wiring. At the moment everything runs from 2 wires to each loop - the shortest of which takes 2 and a half minutes to get round at a reasonable rate, so the power is a little sketchy to say the least!
Hopefully should have the track laying done by the end of the month. Hopefully.
Re: N scale club layout. - danielb - 01-17-2014
For those wondering what goes where and how the loops are laid out, this video should help - a full circuit of the shorter of the two loops around the layout:

Re: N scale club layout. - Kev1340 - 01-19-2014
Very impressive layout! That's a huge amount of work you have accomplished with just two of you working on it! I see UHU is the secret ingredient to such progress
Where is your club based?
Cheers,
Kev

Wow!!! That's a long main line run with lots of places for operation! You guys are gonna have fun with this one! Envious.
Re: N scale club layout. - TTRAK_andrew - 01-19-2014
G'day again, I was able to see the photos at about the same time as Tyson Rayles. I agree with all the positive comments.
Regards, Andrew G.
