Piddle In The Marsh N Gauge Model Railway. 42. Please read the description
Hi and welcome back to Piddle In The Marsh and a special welcome to all the new subscribers from across the pond in the USA. I must say a big thank you to Wilmer and Vinny over there who gave me a "Big Shout Out" on their channels a few weeks back. It was quite strange as I kept getting messages saying "Wilmer gave you a shout out and I have subbed. Like what I have seen etc". This was great but "Who is Wilmer?" Then Vinny got in touch and all became clear. Strange but fun. I will put links below to them.
Anyway as you can see things are happening at Lappingwell Mainline Station. This is because when I first built the layout I wanted a mainline station but not the city to go with it, just the rural countryside. But over time it has started to no feel right so the station is going to get an Art Deck entrance building and platform buildings which hopefully will give it the look of small station got bigger and then bigger still. The head shunts that are "Giffin Head Shunt and "Gushing Shunt" will have to be removed but they will be replaced on the new section with a new siding or two.
I aim to keep you posted as things happen but I do have a few other things to take care of soon as the first anniversary of my Dads death is near. Unfortunately he never got to see the layout as it is now but of you look in the village of Bang'er In The Marsh the motor engineers is named after him. We spent time long before I could drive saying with the family cars.
Anyway until next time, happy modelling.

PS. I told you all Piddle In The Marsh came in 3 parts, wrong it's 4. The 4th bit is the tunnel storage area.

Hello again and welcome back to Piddle In The Marsh and a special welcome to the new subscribers.
As I am holed up in prison, as it now feels like, I have had so much time to make progress with the station platform. The job of doing the lighting normally takes weeks to do because the wires on the LED's are so small. I like to use a hole as small as possible to feed the wires through the base board and then extend the wires underneath, which means soldering lay on your back. Care is needed as molten solder dripping on your arm burns ! It also tests out the shoulder muscles. A total of 19 LED's so far including the signal box, engine shed and driver mess room. All these are powered from the distribution board I showed you in the Smart Switch system video. They are on EBay and I highly recommend them for LED's.
Uncle Wilmer of Indian Head Valley Railroad, if I lived closer I would come and wire yours for you !
That's all for now and I hope to see you again next time.
Mark

SOUND
sound-required-piddle-in-the-marsh-n
Over the period that I have been An Inmate of Stalag Covid 19 lots of time has been spent building the station extension and not using the trains. But as YouChoos excelled themselves in sending over the sound decoder for 50049 it seemed only fitting to have a 50 running session.
Then the others joined in !
So 50007, 50049, 47711, 68034 complete with sounds and last but not least D7003 went quietly about its work.
Oh What A Beautiful Noise, hope you enjoy. Turn the sound up !
All the Sound Decoders I have in my collection are from YouChoos with Zimo Decoders.
I use YouChoos because they are very customer orientated and when I had a problem with the 68 they sorted it instantly. It was only a speaker fault but with sound it important. They will add the sounds and functionality as you want as well, nothing is to much trouble and I highly recommend them.
I have paid for their products and I am not being paid to endorse them.

A very dirty Western Viscount climbs the bank past Whore Box with Yeoman empties and Western Nobleman then descends with full Yeoman hoppers. A class 24 climbs Pins Partin with cement tanks.

A special request video this for Martin Chape who requested some more Class 31 action "as it is more entertaining than Emmerdale!" Having never watched Emmerdale I wouldn't know but I can imagine. Also for Gordon Head who loves the 31's.
So my class 31 is out with the Mk1 Pullman stock along with two Warships, one with BR Maroon Mk1 stock and the other with Collett GWR Choc and Cream. A Class 101 DMU is on the branch line.
Just don't get to excited Martin

HYMEK
hymeks-on-piddle-in-the-marsh.
The Hymeks have been off the Rails of Somersex for a while now the noisy 50's have been sent to the siding and sheds.
Unfortunately D7003 is still in Swindon Works after engine issues but D7024 (with sound) is on China Clay Hoods, D7043 is on a two coach passenger service and new comer D7061 in BR Blue is on British Gas coal.
The Hymeks were probably the best type 3 built and stupidly scrapped.

The two Cromptons using their Double Head equipment take the Quantock Belle and two Dogfish and Catfish to Bishop Lydeard where the Cromptons will have an underside inspection.
There was sunshine just before the train came and after it had gone, but it rained when the train arrived. Typical !

Today was the day of the big move which heavy rain showers did nothing to make it an easy task. One small rock got knocked and fell off but when glued back no one will notice.
The lads from A2B Removals from Minehead did a splendid job in difficult conditions today and I thank them. I would not hesitate in recommending them for your move. Thanks Lads !
