O gauge - Restart


Bill

464 views

On the 20th Nov last year I moved to a new home - still in Nova Scotia but now in the town of Bedford..

Much closer to civilization than before . :)

There is space for a small trainroom that permits a layout that is about 2' wide in the form of a 11' X 10' rectangle...

At last the locomotive stock can be properly run in.. The previous shunting layout did not permit any going around in circles for half an hour at a time...

Here is view of the new premises..

(At this point I have abandoned using IEX. It has been getting progressively fussier with RMWeb - and now it won't even allow the uploading of files.. Bye Bye IEX hello FireFox!)

Unfortunately I discovered O gauge is not like OO, one cannot just create a space and cram points etc., in on the fly - It all needs to be measured and planned in advance..

Just like a real railway... :scratchhead:

Also..

I am now stuck with a load of OO stock cluttering up rather a lot of useful space... It's mostly 1950's-70's BR(s) steam and diesel stuff. with a bit of here there and everywhere

A result of getting far too enthusiastic which 00 scale permits - It is all totally wasted on this side of the pond as no one would know what to do with it...

If there is something you have been desperately been searching for and don't mind payin the freight from Canada, then do ask - you never know!
