    Cheers, Nick.

     

    I'm very impressed with the Finetrax range. I think the main thing is that the filing jig is very well designed, taking all the guesswork

    out of the equation.

     

    There are things I'd do differently a second time, but that comes with experience, Rather than build each point as a unit, which meant

    a lot of unnecessary rail breaks, I should have thought carefully about where the points could be built as pairs or with lead-ins to

    adjacent track. I'm sure with your P4 experience this is second nature, but it's new to me! Anyway, I'm pleased with the results

    and by all means direct your friend to ask any questions I might be able to help with.

     

     

    Thanks Al. I've sent him a link and will point him in your direction! He is quite a dabbler really, creating his own DCC system and all sorts of complicated stuff - what do you expect for a network manager!?

    Hi Al,

     

    I do remember your horrid experience now you mention it. There is a lot to be said for small layouts and ones own transport. Rental companies are either fine or awful in my experience - no mid ground at all. 

     

    The new 56xx does look nice. I do hope someone, or Dapol, produce an improved 14xx and 45/4575 locomotive. For the space-starved modeller, small GWR BLTs are perfect. 

     

    All the best,

     

    Nick.
