Wow, that weathering on the turntable and bridge is spectacular.
Thanks Scott, it has been a while since undertaking this type of task..but happy with the outcome..cheers
The depot area looks to have a lot of operational potential Jason. I can see why you are pleased with it. Having the bridge in place and weathered really added to the realism in the final shot of the train passing over it. I think your instinct to mover the water column is right. I think it would make more sense to have it by the coaling stage to allow the crew to do both at the same time. Stephen
Thanks for the comments Stephen. It certainly makes the area pop. On the home stretch towards the scenery
Wow, that's really coming along nicely Jason. Superb workmanship / craftsmanship as usual. Really enjoy your monthly updates - Thank You.
Thanks John, appreciate your comments
Great progress! The high quality of your work inspires me. I do believe that is the first high rail bus I’ve ever seen! Nothing like that here in Colorado USA!
Thanks Randy. They are not in service anymore. These were known as Paybus, as they use to deliver the employees pay along the south coast line, back when cash in envelopes where used..cheers
Very nice depot. Lots of progress made last month. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Dave!
Hi Jason - The locomotive depot along with the bridge look awesome mate.
Regards Chris
Thanks Chris, enjoyed those projects
Turntable looks fantastic Mate, looking real nice on the whole lot.
Cheers Lee, really enjoyed that weathering task
Great update Jason. Liking the loco depot a lot. I have gotta say the weathering on the bridge and turn table is just superb and is sone to a real high quality standard. Well done. - Nicholas.
Thanks for the feedback Nicholas! They were great projects to do and many more to come..cheers
Jason Love the new update thanks for sharing.
Thanks Medway!
@@JasonWood_Escarpment Jason thanks very much for replying to my comment. It's nice to see other people's work to get idea to improve my Channel. Take Care & Stay Safe.
thank you for the great video are true great job there
Thanks Robert
Hi Jason , great video, you've got the weathering just right , I was thinking you could have laid on the bottom level to do the wiring 😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣😂..didn't think about that! Thanks for the feedback..cheers
Hi Jason, well swearing underneath the layout has become a pastime in itself, I myself have recently and still am swearing away underneath the boards whilst I continue building the Lower level!!!! 🤬🤬🤯
You’ve certainly been busy in the last month and I really like the design of the depot area. The weathering of the bridge and turntable is fantastic Jason, I can’t wait to see how it will all fit in with the scenery.
Hope all is well with you, cheers for now mate, John
Hi John, yes indeed, swearing is a great outlet at times lol. Thanks, I am really happy how that level has shaped and formed. The weathering was great to break up the constant build process and love the layering process of it..cheers
nice update,, I have a turn table to install as well so I always looking for install videos and programing for such a thing
Hi Sparky, this was the first turntable install for me. They seem pretty straight forward with the instructions and template supplied. The next step is finishing the wiring and then I will tackle the programming
Excellent work Jason, looking forward to when the scenic begins, the bones are nearly done?
Thanks Chris, there is light at the end of the tunnel!
Hi ya Jason. Great update. The weathering on the bridge and the turntable look great. A question. That beautiful cranberry and cream loco that you showed running a couple of times…….it that considered a Railbus? I love it. Thanks in advance for the reply. I’m glad you include a steamer on your layout. Take care. See ya next time.
Hey Norman, thanks for the comments. They are known as Paybus. As the name suggests, it ran along the South Coast line delivering rail employees pay cheques. Back in the day when cash in an envelope was the norm...cheers
Jason, it looks like your turntable is a Walthers one (made by Heljan). If that is the case do NOT use an 18VDC power supply. The controller doesn't like more than 16 volts, yes the voice of experence! My initial installation used a power supply that was about 16.5 V and the controller overheated and failed. I would recommend 14V, certainly no more than 15V. You could use a DC to DC buck converter on your current power supply to get an output in the 14V range saving the expense of a new power supply. I hope you get it going without letting out the magic smoke 😎
That is interesting Jaguar, given the instructions are stating 16 - 24VDC or 12 - 16VAC. How long ago did you experience this issue? Cheers
@@JasonWood_Escarpment This happened about 2 years ago and it was an installation on a friend's layout. He had purchased the turntable "a while ago" so no telling the actual "new- old-stock age and hence production run. That could very well have been a factor. Start at a lower voltage and work up if you find the bridge is turning too slowly. Just a data point from another modeller for you to consider.
@@68Jaguar420G thanks, will proceed with caution ⚠️
Hey Jason, wow the engine depot looks great. So does the bridge coming into it. Any chance to show how you weathered the bridge and such? Thanks for sharing, stay safe. Ken
Hi Ken, thanks for the comments. I'll have more weathering so will do a video on it in the future..cheers
Hi Jason, looking great, I am building a 3 level layout similar to yours, Victorian themed. I am also installing the sound deadening material and was wondering what you used as adhesive?
Hey Mark..I just use plain old regular PVC Wood glue..cheers
Nice, I wish I had so much room. What is the grey material under the track?
Hi Joseph, yeah I am very fortunate to be in this position. But I remember saying the same thing many years ago. It material is a 2mm felt type material, helps with deadening the high pitched sounds to let more bass come through when running trains..regards
I love the layout and benchwork. Those are some ugly ass locomotives tho. lol
Thanks Steven..yeah the NSW Government had best of both worlds..the good, the bad and the ugly 🤓
