Flying Fox 34F Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Anyone insane enough to have followed this saga from the outset might remember that an early sketch included the iconic bus on a bridge ...... This is the Blue Peter cardboard version of the bridge, until I have time to make the plywood one. Not quite finished, but not far off. t Guilty as Charged. I'm definitely a Fruit and Nut Case!!!!!

Nearholmer Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 Zomboid - your immense contribution has very definitely not been forgotten. Watch the "character" thing, though; that's how I got reeled in! FF34F - playing with toy trains has the soothing affect that would be experienced if attending a very, very posh asylum. Just remember which constituency has been put in charge. K 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nearholmer Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 Well, she did go to the ball! First "public" outing went well, apart from cardboard wilting in the humidity, which can be cured with stronger glue.

Sturminster_Newton Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I would say 8 feet long is small for 0 gauge. I'm interested to see what you do as I have an O gauge diesel shunter but nothing at home to run it on. Minimum size all depends on view point. A viewing of the jewel that is Brierly Canal Road might be worth mentioning being basically a right hand point and three pieces of track. Scaling this up to suit Peco O-gauge set-track needs a baseboard (Boxfile?) of about 1200mm x 400mm x 400mm without chopping the set-track segments. Building to O-gauge makes this a layout(?) that is right in ya face. Operationally limited but a working Diorama/Cameo line to expand the potential it would be feasible to build the other modules. So I would postulate that 1200 x 400 x 400 is the minimum size for an operational standard O gauge layout. If there is only have one loco and a few wagons or a rail-bus this would seem one way forward to get something running with modest outlay Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
