At keast with sectional track it's not that hard - if you've got battened track, screwed down, it takes a LOT more doing!

Hint - wash the track with the hose pipe (whilst you are, of course, watering the garden) - washing the stone dust away makes it look a whole lot better!

looks like a bit of works gone on there! My relaying and deviation work last year was pretty much a spur of the moment thing, it just took me a month thats insted of an afternoon
i'm sure it will look all reet when you've neatened up the ballast etc

lol I have just spent my evening realigning and relaying the trackwork through my garage.

Only Swore a few times

Just need to get some trains running tommoz to test it now.

All the track materials for my relay arrived this morning (together with a pair of bogies and a Talisman open wagon kit) so I'm hoping to get some work in preparation done this weekend!

Haha odd thing to do that - ripping up your track just because you feel like it! lol

I've got a few spots I need to relay really, but it's got to come up anyway due to putting in my triangular junction.

Iv been doing some thinking and some relaying, pics soon!

Posted: **Sat May 30, 2009 11:47 am**

much better now, organised and I can use it properley

itll look great with some trains around it

TEST! TIME TO TEST IT OUT!

my faviourate part

Caradoc cooling down after its run.

Torak being prepared for departure

now that Iv dug out the worst inclines and slopes my live steamer can go around much slower and steadier with only the occasional pouse for breath before setting off again

then when the gas had ran out Torak was sent to the shed using its last whisps of steam

Good Stuff Pauly, I'd like to see your Caradoc pulling something at some point though

!

Posted: **Sat May 30, 2009 4:42 pm**

it cant pull anything! Im still running it in, cant even make a full lap without pausing yet

Posted: **Sat May 30, 2009 4:56 pm**

That is odd, even when mine was brand new it'd pull longish trains.

Im a bit worried that the SV is blowing off when there little pressure in the boiler

Posted: **Sat May 30, 2009 5:24 pm**

what pressure are the SV supposed to blow off at?

Posted: **Sat May 30, 2009 5:41 pm**

60psi

Posted: **Sat May 30, 2009 5:50 pm**

I believe its 40 PSI, but dont wuote me on that!

No, I confirm its 60psi.

Posted: **Sat May 30, 2009 6:57 pm**

how do I fix this? contact accucraft?

Posted: **Sat May 30, 2009 7:06 pm**
