Nice drawings of a great prototype. Thanks for the tip about Corel, sounds like you are satisfied with it?

Very much so. It cost around

I'll back Ullypug on the capabilities of Corel Draw - I've been a user since Coreldraw 3 back in 190blonk.  Its an excellent DTP package, NOT a draughting programme like AutoCAD, BUT it is easy to learn and very versatile.

Corel Draw is a handy tool for laser cutting as well!

Ullypug you might have a word with the chaps who are building Sandford & Banwell, I saw it at the Uckfield show, as I'm sure they have lasercut the bargeboards. Its will be at the Epsom show this April.and I've added the url for Uckfield for you.

Looking at the photos there's some very interesting stock on that sandford & barnwell layout

Definitely going to want to see it though Epsom and uckfield are both a bit too far to travel for me.

Would be good to hear if these are might have been workings or backed up with evidence!

Thanks for the hint about using Corel Draw. I have the professional version. I had never thought of using it for this type of application.

Andrew - are you going to produce a second kit of parts for a certain other individual, modelling the same location?!

Thanks for the link Dave. I was at Uckfield 2 years ago when they were demonstrating the work in progress, so had a good chat with them. Would you believe it, the bargeboards for Sandford are a slightly different pattern!

I've already made the offer Cap'n!

Last time I saw it it had been turned into a double track secondary line and there were green class 47's on it. It was work in progress though!

Just looked through the piccies and I see what you mean!!
