Wow excellent start Trevor and rapid progress

That's about the same size as my Elan layout will be. I shall be watching with interest. I am awaiting my delivery of track parts to start.

How are you doing the point operation.. is it the same as Bryn used of this parish?

Graham

Hi Graham,

I will probably follow Bryn and use the Tortoise, they are something i've used for a few years now on all my layouts and have been thouroughly satisfied with.

I did look at using the 2mm Association TOU's to save money but as my layout is on different levels It would be a bit awkward to feed the rodding back to the switches.

Good luck with your project, the Easitrac components are a real pleasure to work with.

Regards

Trevor.

Thanks Trevor..

I am looking at options.. one is the tortoise motor, but I have a hankering to play with a system from servos which can have the throe changed so theres a perfect throw each time.

I'll let you know

Regards

Graham

Trevor - Glad to see you doing 2mm - especially as I am fan of your 4mm layouts.

 

Do you have a track plan and any more info on what you are modelling/era?

Hi Pete,

There is a trackplan and description of the layout on the first page, but basically it is end to end with a 4' x18" scenic area. The layout is based in South Wales around 1969/70 so quite a bit of coal traffic, my loco roster is a cl08, Hymek, 4x cl37's, Warship and a cl47, so a bit of variety.

I also have a layout thread article, which is quite active

Hi Trevor - thanks for this.

 

I embarrassed myself as am currently viewing the forum through an iphone so the viewing panel is restricted, meaning I found your layout topic thread later last night which had all the answers to my questions posed!

 

Thanks to reply anyway and really pleased you have started 2mmFS.

 

Looking forward to see this at the EXPO!

No probs Pete,

It is a bit strange running a normal thread and a blog alongside each other, but it does give the chance for people to Interact in the layout thread, whilst the blog can be broken down to showing just the progess, for those who don't want to scroll through lots of pages, I do say Andy Y has got this right.

Looking at peoples work on their layouts I'm very much looking forward to Expo, some excellent work indeed

Cheers

Trevor.
