Rochelle Intermodal | N Scale Bend Track modular layout

Peter November 10th, 2009

Rochelle Intermodal will be at the 2009 Tolworth show this coming weekend, 14 & 15th November. And great news…it will be the new extended version! With the generous help of Pete Blake, from the Seaboard Southern club, I am almost finished with the two new industrial switching boards…just doing the last bit of scenic work, then will test them with the adjoining boards. Hopefully all works as expected, but am expecting the usual gremlins!

So, come visit me at Tolworth this weekend, otherwise keep an eye on this site for photos of the new modules.

Just a reminder that you can see Rochelle Intermodal at the Seaboard Southern North American Railroad Exhibition this weekend, down in Horsham, West Sussex – more details on our website:Â www.seaboard-southern.org.uk/exhibition2009.asp

Unfortunately it won’t be the new extended version as hoped, as my day job has got in the way of progress – I haven’t worked on the layout for over a month, so couldn’t get the new extension ready in time. However, it will be done in time for Tolworth in November.

Hope to see some of you at the Seaboard Southern show – be sure to pop over and say hi!

Rochelle Intermodal was at the Ardenrail show in Solihull, West Midlands on Saturday. A very successful running, apart from the usual little hiccups, but seemed to attract plenty of attention! I spent most of the day answering questions about RR&Co and block detection as I had my PC monitor up showing the RR&Co screen and the train locations on the track plan. Many thanks (again!) to John Pitty, Pete Blake, Chris Green, Alan Crooks and Robin Joyner for their much appreciated help during the day to set up, operate and take down!

Rochelle Intermodal will be appearing at the Seaboard Southern Exhibition on Saturday 19th September. More details on the Seaboard Southern website. The layout will also be at the Tolworth 2009 show in November – more details to come closer to the time.

Here are a few photos from the Ardenrail show:

I’ve finished all the wiring on the two new boards, the industrial switching district (or ‘Caron Street’ as it will be known) – 8ft in total, which will be a nice addition to the exisiting 15ft layout.

Here are the two boards:

Board B

and Board C

The next step is to add the block detectors and the PowerPole connectors on the ends, then I can start on the scenery. I have all the buildings, apart from one, so I will start construction of these soon…

Rochelle Intermodal is now confirmed as booked for Tolworth 2009 in November! More details can be found on the Tolworth Showtrain website – this will be the layout as seen at Benson and Ardenrail, but with the new 8ft switching district, which will be debuted at the Seaboard Southern show in September. More on that later.
