If you are going for scale and accuracy then C&L or Exactoscale is the way to go, not marcway. I find their track a little basic TBH. Never really a fan of the rail soldered to sleepers with no chairs melarky. You can add cosmetic chairs but the C&L and Exactoscale with their lovely chairs etc are far better. Its easier to build than you would think too. As for RTR track, I would go SMP or C&L for plain wooden sleepered track (I tend to use SMP as Marcway is only up the road for me) and fast track base with code 80/82 rail for concrete track (not strictly RTR but near enough for the better track you get) As for points no RTR track is really correct for UK but have read this I like the idea of the tilig. Pre darkened code 83 rail (which would work with the fast track base and code 80/82 rail) slight fexibility so that you can make more flowing designs and single bendy point blades. There are no RTR suppliers of bullhead pointwork to compliment the SMP but Peco code 75 will fix to it with minimum fuss. I think its safe to say there is no 'Best track' its all down to preference. I personally would sooner spend my cash on a decent exacto point kit than a similarly priced tilig point, and for me Peco, or even more so Hornby, should be fiddle yard fodder. I'm sure there are others that would disagree though. However I don't think that code 100 has any business on a serious layout nowadays. In fact when I flopped open my latest copy of Model Rail this month I seriously thought that the cleckhuddersfax layout was N gauge on first look, the track looked so course (no critisisation of the layout I must add, just a realisation on my part). I guess we all get so used to seeing the fine stuff these days that code 100 sticks out a mile. Cheers Cav

It was my article on the 47 marker light conversion with brass tube and clear rod. I used it on an early Bachmann conversion pictured below (now in the hands of mr arnington off of here) I think it makes a world of difference to the no two end. Cheers Cav

A firm well done to Dave (Waton), the layout has I'm sure tempted a few to try 2mm scale. Of course all of the entries were excellent and a firm well done all 'round I think. I'd also like to thank everyone who voted high for Outon Road. It's a great pleasure to bring something to the table that can hopefully inspire others. I intend to keep working on Outon to hopefully bring even more in the future. Happy new year and thanks to all. Cav

Looks excellent just what the doctor ordered, I'm planning a 20ft by 10ft build in my garden with 5ft of it partitioned off at one end for my respray work. The rest would be for workshop stuff and probably a resident layout of about 15ft x 3ft. I need to get the cash together though as these things aren't cheap even with my materials obtained through working in the buiding profession as I do, so would probably have to be a replacement for my loft project. Have to see. Cheers Cav

Thats a pretty impressive play room there. That would probably be my whole garden if I built that in it! Nice work. What size is it? Cav

Actually this might look better, what do you think? Cheers Cav Donor Photo courtesy of Ross Aitken

Heres the 47 you've been waiting for. A bit shabby after years hammering away on the cross country services!! Cheers Cav

Indeed I do! I really liked those two loco's I nearly kept them for myself! I don't get the chance to really go to town on models so much at the minute as virtually all of my commision time is taken up with my recent repaint/weathering contract with a certain sheffiled based model shop who won't pay for all the stops out jobs!

Nice atmospheric shot harks me back to my younger days! Hmm I think I recognise that 47 in the background!! B) Cheers Cav
