cgc1981 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Hi, after a significant injury, I am going back into modelling. I've a 1.5x1foot plank, and looking at creating something similar to oh group in Burton. The depot can act as fiddle yard. What are people's thoughts?

luke the train spotter Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Sounds like a nice idea. What scale are you thinking of? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Saltburn Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I like the sound of this layout will be watching with interest. Like Luke said what scale are you modelling in.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgc1981 Posted August 27, 2018 Author Share Posted August 27, 2018 Thanks so far, and sorry been quiet. Been looking around at lots of ideas. Would love to keep everything confined in this space-inc a possible transversor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgc1981 Posted August 27, 2018 Author Share Posted August 27, 2018 The latter could function as a single line depot, just allows a class 67 to pop out.of depot and a whole one to be hidden in the depot, in effect become hidden area to swap locks. No points means reduction in cost. Could still have a track in foreground with a mirror to right to make area look bigger. Would allow for bidding and operating more than 1 class 08 in and out of depot. Could become something like esseltey slt layout and allow for the amazing detail such as wells green tmd Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgc1981 Posted August 27, 2018 Author Share Posted August 27, 2018 Ps likey 00, unless I attempt something in n gauge like new street stabling point. If you check out new street p4, this would be good. I have 1 yard of 00 gauge left, one right hand point and a yard of n gauge track. Just wouldn't fancy building new street signal box!

cgc1981 Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 So after much head scratching and yet another 6 weeks off work, and a visit to Dapol today, the move will be to n gauge! Will still be working on this board as it fits into tv cabinet! The aim is to get it like new street stabling sidings!any suggestions on how to build new street signal box?

cgc1981 Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 So minor change in plan, acquired this make up box, which is not only able to house the layout, but all the stock with its many compartments. Track laid, not sure where I am going with it now. ? A take on new street stabling sidings? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
