More Tyobic Victoria shots

Please excuse Doug's weathering on the cement pots, NQR...

One of the advantages of foam, both of these cuttings are 100% foam.

Its flat out at Tyobic station, that's Peter's sheep vans in the background.

Strath Hobbies double deck car carrier

Hi All

Here is a kit that I am actually looking forward to giving this a go.

Heres the contents of the kit. Nice neat work, perfect for Alice Springs.

Thanks

Alice industrial continues

The west end of the yard, to the left is the Boral siding, between this and the NTFS and the indrustrial branch lead. In the forground is the west end of the main yard.

Track all laid out and ready for adhesive.

The little section of the layout. Note the "rare breed" containers are simulating the Adelaide Brighton Cement plant.

Thanks

Tyobic pictures CM didnt make it.

Hi All

To celebrate the publication of the Tyobic Article in Continental Modeller, here's some extra pictures of Tyobic. For your interest.

Doug wagon's of immaculate conception make an appearance.

An S class wanders into Tyobic, while a C class waits in the Goods loop, got to love that diamond crossing!

a Kiss class wanders through parched fields near Tyobic.

One of my favorite picutures. A C class hounds down the level crossing at the down end of town, with a short grainy. The truck driver just made it. While still in the yard, two jobs go about their business.

Enjoy

Alice industrial progress part 3

Hi All

More possitioning stuff before the final cut.

With 603 in the background, this is the BP terminal location.

Near the west end of the industrial area I have managed to re locate the NTFS depot complete with siding.

603 at the Mobil siding, the Sheel tanker is just for possitioning purposes.

Enjoy

Alice industrial area part 2

Hi All

Some more progress pictures


The trackage was all roughed out before final cutting of track and application of adheasive.

The track in the forground is the Caltex siding, behind that is the Mobil siding.

The drain was replicated in foam, with the base of 30mm foam, then the colverts were cut in using a sharp stanley knife.

The wiring can be seen feeding through the foam base.

Thanks

Alice industrial area progress

Hi All

Here is some long overdue progress pictures

The more compliacted end boards

Two of the industrial area boards with foam inserts

To ensure the ends have a good anchor to the protector ends I have inserted t nuts prior to installation of the foam on all boards.

The Mobil siding board, not the cut out for the drain, that goes right through the industrial area and yard. Hole cut outs are for the points and the wiring connectors.

Thanks

Scott

Alice Springs progress

Hi All

Just to let you know, I have finished the Alice Springs industrial area boards, and have it up in the Train room. One board has all the foam glued in, and I am sorting out the final track plan.

Pictures will follow.

Thanks
