Barley pit narrow gauge line
Barley pit narrow gauge line
As a new member to the forum I thought I'd show you all the barley pit line. This line is a work in progress and runs both my locos and my dads.
Plans include extending down to the bottom of the garden, lowering the overall height of the track and getting flower beds planted.
Anyway, here's the video/ photos of the line as it stands. Currently running a freelance loco (the fox) made using roundhouse parts in 1992 build by my dad and rebuilt by me in October 2012. The carriages are freelance again, based loosely on the ashby summer carriages owned by the Ffestiniog railway.
Please click on first image to see the video.

I really like Budgie, I've just designed and built a medium size diesel outline loco and have started on a smaller version and I've been wondering how to do the cab, you've solved the problem for me. Don't have one

I find that when I'm unsure on how to model any form of engineering I think about how it would be used and how it would be made in reality. Then it gives me an idea of how to make it in 16mmWVLR:84247 wrote:I really like Budgie, I've just designed and built a medium size diesel outline loco and have started on a smaller version and I've been wondering how to do the cab, you've solved the problem for me.

The fox now has the dome refitted. Just need to paint the boiler band black.
If it can be made full scale it can be made 16mm

Got chance to do a little more work on the line today. First 2 sets of left hand points fitted with a view to adding 2 sets f right hand when I next extend the track to create a passing loop on the main straight. Points were handmade but will be buying peco from now on as time is lacking again.

I'll give it a go again Tom, got very confused as to how to set out 2.5' radius curves.
