Hi everyone, I’m currently with my brother building “OO” layout of Aberdeen north line during 1950 / 1960’s. Have been searching for a while for detailed info of Station Building and Signal Box (North / South) at Kittybrewster to enable us to scratch build these items. Can anyone help with plans/drawings/decent photos or point us in right direction to find good details for each to construct. Look forward to hear from modellers out there. Thanks, Alastair

We (Brother & I) are currently building our layout based on GNSR / BR Era 5 1956-1966, location being north Aberdeen - Inverness route and would like to know if anyone can tell us the type of ballast used. Looking at various photo’s etc the ballast looks like to been a mixture ash / cinders !!! but not certain. Our build is main line with a adjacent goods yard area and layout is end to end. Any feedback info would be appreciated from forum members. Thanks, Al

Hi All, I’m looking for some assistance / feedback on issue about rolling stock for our layout. Our layout is based on Era5 1960s, region North East Scotland (Aberdeen - Inverness - Fraserburgh etc) Question we have is:- Gresley Non-Vestibuled Suburban Coaches (BR) Have search high & low but still unable to find confirmation (details / photos) if these coaches were used on this region area routes during 1960s Look forward to hearing from forum. Thanks Al.

Hi All, I’m looking for some assistance / advice on issue we have with our layout. Currently have put down phase one of our DC layout, 1) Main Up Line; 2) Main Down Line; both into station covering 8 platforms, 3) a Return Line. All 3 lines are being powered separately with own bus wire, and are using Seep PM-1 point motors with Peco Electrofrog turnouts on these lines. Question we have is:- Where should PM-1 terminals D & E be connected to on layout? Have search high & low but still confused as all findings relate to DCC which understand, but would appreciated clarification on connecting D & E on DC layout. Look forward to hearing from forum. Al.
