Pine Valley Siding

Pine Valley Siding is a new diorama/layout built to display my 7/8th scale trains. The layout features hand spiked track a stub turnout and enough room to run a small locomotive and two tippers back and forth.

The layout came together in the week before RailEx with the track and turnout being hand built during this time. The street lamp is scratch built with the lampshade being cut from brass sheet and the insulators being made up with beads from the craft store.

The night before the show I knocked up a shuttle circuit to get the train running back and forwards. This circuit worked well for the day however I’ll have a go at refining it to simplify the operation.
