Nottingham Walk

Nottingham Walk is a OO gauge model railway owned and being restored by Father and Son team. A fictional line in mid Kent during Network Southeast #TMRGUK

Welcome to our Network Southeast inspired layout, Nottingham Walk. Here is the story of the last month.... https://t.co/GXixZYKkPB

[Nottingham Walk @NottinghamWalk]

A recent power upgrade on the layout and a new DCC bus installed has meant the power on the layout is much more smoother and it runs really well. So after any major works I sent out the inspection saloon “Caroline” for a run around to check its all working.

Installed some kit built signals tonight after a few days of gluing and painting. Think I’m gonna go train tech for the main part of the layout but the station will be manually controlled.

[Nottingham Walk @NottinghamWalk]

The layout has been progressing over the last few months. Fully ballasted, 3rd rail laid, some trees added. Plus some road and platform furniture. People added to the depot and stations. Still a lot to do but it’s starting to come alive.

Anyone in the know? When you need to get Heljan class 33 spares where do you find the best place? All my usual sources seem to be out of them. Specifically bogie frames and glazing. It’s for the 1st gen of Compton as I found a cheapo but wanted to use it to experiment on.

@NSE_Latchmere @hornby Looks like the NSE vep is back 👍

[Nottingham Walk @NottinghamWalk]

Got some wiring done over the festive period. #NetworkSoutheast red lamp posts installed on the station and streetlights on the motorway.

[Nottingham Walk @NottinghamWalk]

As it’s autumn I return to my loft to continue model railway building.
I started work on wiring up the little lights over the layout. The depot floodlights & also lights in the town with the petrol station, level crossing and the Beatles zebra crossing with flashing beacons 😍👍

[Nottingham Walk @NottinghamWalk]

Finally got my hands on a Turbo. I worked this unit hundreds of times over the years too. Converted to dcc and ordered new light units to replace the old led’s that will work on dcc. Happy boy!

Update from Nottingham Walk Pt 1.

[Nottingham Walk @NottinghamWalk]

@NSE_Latchmere @hornby Wonder how much longer before Hornby release the new VEP in nse. Need it soon.

[Nottingham Walk @NottinghamWalk]

Plus I recently purchased this Heljan class 45 (106) and I’m super in love with it. What a great runner and also so highly detailed. 😍😍😍

The backscene is really coming along. Much building has happened here and his week.

[Nottingham Walk @NottinghamWalk]

The fire engine I ordered at Model world live in Birmingham has arrived and makes an excellent scene on my motorway.

[Nottingham Walk @NottinghamWalk]

The new arrivals are now all DCC Chipped plus I picked up a bargain seconds 4-TC in NSE the other day and now have that as part of a 8 car formation pushed by a 33/1.

[Nottingham Walk @NottinghamWalk]

@FirstGW_00 @RainbowRailways I bought 2 full units and some coaches from Rainbow at Model World Live. First time I used them and I was so impressed. Good value 👍

[Nottingham Walk @NottinghamWalk]

Bank balance took a spanking at Model World live today.

While waiting for the correct DCC chips to arrive in the post I made my DEMU upto a 3 car by inserting the CEP TSO into the formation. #Marshlink

@kentrailfan37 I haven’t. It’s cork underlay with a ballast effect & then I’m going to ballast soon just makes the track have a proper bed rather than lay the track directly onto the baseboards. I ran out of the ballast effect cork underlay for the extensions I built but once ballasted it’s ok

[Nottingham Walk @NottinghamWalk]

All 24 points wired up and operational. Control station starting to come together. 3 panels at Nottingham Walk box 😜 went a bit northern having a brief running session after it was completed. Next ballasting!
