Summat Colliery

Go on! You know you want to

Lets see if one of the traders at Sheffield this weekend has an SL-E191 .....

 

and a pack of PL-9 point motor bases (only need one) and some Dart Castings point levers (only need one!)

I would say your reason 2 is a good reason not to! 'Fill a space' is the curse of railway modellers!

 

Cheers

fair point Jim, my main concern is that it would look too contrived, difficult to say really would be nice to have somewhere to show off the wagon though .....

If you used a curved point a little to the right of where you show the new straght point you would:-

 

1) have a couple of inches extra in the siding to hide that loco you mentioned

 

2) avoid the track in the siding going right then back left in a very short disance

 

HTH

Hi Jim, what you maybe don't realise is that there is a baseboard joint on the gridline immediately to the right of the new point, nice thought though, I'll have a play ....

A little cameo like a stored loco coal wagon would I think add further to an already superb model. Enjoyed seeing the layout working at Mickleover last Sunday by the way.

hmmm, man with wheelbarrow, a few weeds, overgrown, buffer blocks fixed to the side of the coaling stage, oil tanker chassis (left over from the water tower) leaning against the back of the coaling stage "stored" for future use as a flatbed perhaps .....
