Re: BelmontBahn progress
Looking away from the castle.
The haunted house looks a bit exposed !
The Stable/Paddock areas will be redone & the pond may go.
More detailing round the level crossing to be done.
Backscene will be done, hopefully next month & better trees planted.

Re: BelmontBahn progress
Looking towards the castle - the HGV is still stuck under the arch & about to be dragged clear by the THW who are using the HGV's predicament as an exercise.
All the grass will be "relayed" & a decent rockface produced.

Re: BelmontBahn progress
Not much progress on the layout itself.
95% of the locomotive/MU fleet are now "ready to roll" having been serviced/repaired/converted/setup.
A start has been made on the rolling stock & hopefully soon be completed.
Some images will follow.

Spam, Servers & other stuff.
When we originally set up NTMRF we did not set up enough anti-spam measures & it got spammed to death to the point that we lost interest in it. However, with the help of our I.T. guy Sean we have resurrected it, got rid of the 1,000's of "spambers". moved it to a new server & are working our way thr...

PIKO SMART CONTROL DCC SYSTEM - a brief review.
This review was originally posted a couple of years ago. The images became corrupted & I have deleted the whole post. Here is the text ; Basic overview. Please note that this is an updated review – there are a couple of earlier reviews already “out there”. The Piko SmartControl is a fully featured D...

Roco Z21.
After having reliability issues with the Piko Smart system (I suspect I was just unlucky with mine - it's a great system) I obtained a Roco Z21 (black). At the time of purchase there were two versions - the "Black" full version & the "White", a slightly cut down but still competent system. I also pu...

Re: BelmontBahn progress
BelmontBahn dried out & suffered with the heat during the summer until the aircon was installed. Unfortunately, damage occurred to the scenery & railjoints, now largely rectified. Gone are the el-cheapo trees, the backboards have been extended and five half relief houses & backyards installed near t...

Re: BelmontBahn progress
Progress has been slow. BelmontBahn was last shown at the Broadstairs exhibition late in 2019. It was received well and ran reliably albeit with no automation. Unfortunatly, I sort of lost interest and BelmontBahn stayed in the trailer for nearly three months and when re-assembled in the workshop su...

Re: BelmontBahn progress
The scenic side has been progressing slowly, but is going in the right direction. There will be some new buildings completed for the next show but they will not be in their final positions. None of the team were really happy with the station platforms or the el-cheapo Chinese made station lamps. So,...
