Going Japanese!!!

[Pauljag900]

Very lonely,and it s not as tho he can get out to see anyone as he has no legs at the moment !(or motor!)it s en route!

[Pauljag900]

So after a few electrical problems(me overloading the supply!) I purchased a 12v 5amp supply and a reducer to 6v for the 6v street lights.Reducer will power 3amps worth of lights which leaves me 2 Amps spare so I ve also ordered a step down to 3v which I ll use to power a few more led street lights.

My order form Nariichi arrived yesterday,few bits and bobs and some kits.

 

 

Village area now illuminated!

The last point needed for the storage yard,platforms and station arrived today.Not the best station I guess but the one that takes up the least space at the front.

Placed in position straight from the box so no detailing yet.

Also a quick shot of night time.

When I was planning my layout a couple of years ago I was on the computer on anyrail whe my five year old grandson came and sat on my knee and asked me what I was doing,i told him I was planning a big Japanese layout in a new shed but at the moment it s just a dream mate,but one day we ll do it,he then jumped down and said to his dad,grandads making me a Japanese dream! Ever since it s stuck,so I ve had a poster made for the grandkids,3feet wide x 4 feet high(A0)I m going to mount it to a piece of wood and hang it above the layout at the back.Not sure anyone s intrested but I was really pleased with the poster so thought I d share it,

Paul - I love the last photo of the whole layout at night....fantastic!

The mirror aren't doing it for me.  Too much confusion.  But when the lights are out, that is when the magic happens.  Those mirrors really extend the city's lights.

Bumpers are on their way Paul so the trains don't run off the track but I'm sure you're an excellent engineer and are able to stop the trains millimeters from the end of the track so the bumpers are really more for aesthetics.  :)

[Pauljag900]

Thanks for all the comments gents

You ll also notice there s three empty sidings at the moment serotta,I think you know what's going in them!

Thanks kato,the lights are a "must have" for me mate,the whole layout takes on a completely new dimension at night.I do nt know what it is but it just looks totally different when it s lit up! And the photo does nt do justice to any layout really,the real thing is much better than the photo would suggest,

With the arrival of three new trains and some free gifts courtesy of serotta the storage yard/area is almost complete it just needs some detailing now to finish it off.The backscene poster is something I found last week when having a sort out and is only temporary.

Thanks to jr500 and serotta for helping me to fill it up so quickly!

[Pauljag900]

Apologies to nicofabi for getting one of the pics sideways!

Amazing! :) so many trains arrived in very short months.. haha.. so you went to Tomix E3 Komachi and got some cool commuters as well. the red keikyu looks great..

[Pauljag900]

With the arrival of some bits for the gas station it s now almost complete,street lights and figures to be added in due course.

Many thanks to eurostar25 for his help and encouragement with this as it was his thread that gave me the original idea but was nt sure if it would fit,he assured me it would and he was right!

[serotta1972]

Wow Paul, very nice - you get a Gas Station and it just wouldn't be complete without a refinery huh.  :) It looks like the tanker trucks don't have a long way to deliver the gasoline. 

[Pauljag900]

Ha ha,you got it serotta.

I d been struggling a bit for something in the corners,I considered a temple but the hill would have bee too steep then I saw eurostars gas plant so talked to him and the result is there!

Hi Paul!

 

I must say that factory diorama is really nice! The factory buildings with the pipes really add into the oil refinery scene... Very well done!

 

Thanks for sharing!

[Robert46]

amazing addition Paul, really nice gas plant diorama... :D I think it was sponsored by Shell.. hahah. :P Always love to see shell oil tank trucks, matched perfectly with the diorama..

Hi Paujag900,

 

You got a nice lighting in your layout, could put some extra night-time pictures?

If possible, the area inside the yellow square in the picture below (around the overhead track and close to the buildings).

 

 

 

Cheers,

p.s. I hope you don't mind I took the picture from your post #428.

Just so you know I'll probably be stealing the design of this yard when I eventually build my own like this hahaha. Looks great.
