One foot between levels sounds a bit excessive! It might be worth looking to see if that can be practicably be reduced although the gradient reduction will not be huge with a length of only 25-30' to play with. You will certainly struggle to get a worthwhile train up such a slope! Dave

Hmm. 0.9mm is equivalent to over 1.5" in 7mm! From 1913 on, the GW used 3/4" gas pipe (o.d.1 1/16") for handrails - which is a little over 0.6mm in 7mm scale. Dave

I use Templot on my Mac (via Crossover) Small radius Y points look like what they are - a horrid compromise of modelling space vs reality! Dave

Instead of enlarging 4mm scale plans, why not use the 7mm scale plans that Peco provide here? At least you are not scaling up the very narrow gauge 4mm product to an unrepresentative 7mm scale gauge. In the 7mm scale product descriptions, Peco claim a nominal radius of 1828mm (approx 72") for their medium radius points. You should be able to run any commercially-produced locos and stock through them without problems. Dave

Have you looked here? Dave

Zach I've sent you a Haywood catalogue by PM Dave

There is a large variety of names - clearance bar, depression bar, fouling bar, locking bar and no doubt several others but they perform the function described above. Dave

Furness, Midland Carriage Works, Gladiator & NMRS for starters Dave

Simon Give yourself a good talking to. Dave

Not entirely accurate. They do produce slide chairs and bridge chairs. Available to ScaleSeven Group members https://www.scaleseven.org.uk/index.php?id=334 Dave

Well he certainly did..... Dave

Geoff Gill (proprietor of Haywood Railway) has never had a website but does respond to emails and phone calls. He was at the Kettering show last month. Dave

Ragstone also have Motion Brackets on their parts list - the first two items! Andy also did a 9F kit so may be able to help. Dave
