  1. 1. Do I stay with my layout in Scotland or go three rail in the South East?

A few more bits and pieces have been done to the layout, and I will update with photos later on tonight.

 

A huge curve ball was thrown at me, while on a quick visit to Tennents on Wednesday lunchtime, all I bought was some more trees, a decoder, and some Plastic Cement for me to crack on with the Kadees for my wagons. But there in the cabinet all shiny, new, and looking absolutely stunning, was a Blue Grey 4CEP, and all I have thought about is going three rail, how I can adjust the fiddle yard to take it, and what to do with the sidings that are in place for use as a timber loading facility.

 

So before I plunge in and purchase said 4CEP, I though I would open up a Poll to see what other peoples thoughts were on this.

 

So thank you for taking part in the poll, and any advice or suggestions or critisism is highly welcome.

Third rail takes some extra modelling - and, no, I don't do it myself, although 40+ years ago I had a friend with outside third OO, in the days when this was a more common modelling standard than 2-rail.

 

I spent the first 25 years of my career on Southern Region, and to this day, the service density and complexity of the network remains brilliant. Now that RTR stuff in real quality is being made available, you can have a really fine layout representing all the things that make Southern Electric a success.

 

Just DO It!
