Rochelle Intermodal – N Scale Railroad

Peter Borcherds June 29th, 2009

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.
