Having just read the postings about Chris Ellis in the Media section has made me hunt out my copies of MTI . Having found issue 114 I have reread the article about Gordon Avis's " The Fairweather Branch" as it is a wonderful micro layout. Now, I dont have any HO/OO stock these day as i dabble in 009 but I do still have a couple of N scale switchers and 40' boxfars and a load of settrack . So I wonder if its possible to build the layout in N scale. I am useless converting track plans to different scales so would anyone be able to assist me. I dont want to upload the track plan here due to copyright etc but maybe someone has a copy of MTI 114 that could help me please Thanks

Its great to here that Chris is still with us. I have a fair number of MTI issues but never did buy the booklets that he produced after MTI ended. I really should have as there are full of information.

Hi Looking for some advice please . I would like to build an L shaped building to fit a corner of my layout but one thing that is stopping me is the roof construction because of the different angles involved. Anyone any tips how I would go about this please? Thanks

Hi , enjoying the feedback. I have ordered the 25W antex. Thanks

Hi Can anyone recommend a starter soldering iron to be used for fitting wiring to N gauge track please. There just appears so many to choose from and I want to make sure I have a quality one. Thanks

Would anyone have any advice for painting Slaters course stones please. The paints and the technique to use to get a good finish Thanks John

Hi I am looking a copy of Continental Modeller May 2018 please. Thanks

Hi RAF96 Thank you so much . That is exactly what I was after. Cheers and thanks for the diagram too.

Another question from me. I am building a tuning fork layout and I know shunting will be limited but I would also like to add a shuttle timer. So the question is how can i flick between manual or automatic operation?. I assume I would need some sort of switch, A diagram would be most useful please. I am using 1 LH point. Thanks

Hi Folks This is my first posting here. I am building a small oo gauge tuning fork layout using 5mm foamboard for the baseboard. I would like to fit a peco point motor to the LH point however i am not sure if the formboard could cope with constant operation of the motor. Anyone any idea how to secure a point/motor in place using a foamboard base. Thanks Johnzx
