Indomitable026 Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 Not if you're interested in detailing Class 50s - ok, so maybe the wrong thread if they don't go to Inverness. I can re-post on DitD if that helps. Bizarrely they did get to Inverness, but in their earlier careers on the west coast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted February 24, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 24, 2018 What was the occasion? Once a year the local council makes everybody in Inverness walk round the depot, that was the day! But seriously, the (in)famous Dalescroft scottish shed bash. Mike.

Indomitable026 Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 The black base makes them look like they haven't been fully pushed into the baseboard I tried to incorporate the signals (and the signal box) on the layout but was constrained by space.

Indomitable026 Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 I'm spending a bit of time today working out the fiddleyard configuration. In essence the 'problem' is two tracks come off the main board and I want three fiddleyard roads. Loco's have to be able to get anywhere on the main layout and fiddleyard with out being physically taken off the layout. Heres a picture of the proposed three fiddleyard roads and the two tracks coming off the main board. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted February 24, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 24, 2018 Will you need to move a loco from the back line to the front line without it appearing on stage ? Would a point off the ftont line to a double slip for lines middle & back be more flexible? You could shorten both as they are off scene. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
