I shall dig them out when I get back. My Kings Cross can also be in the BR Blue era, will be doing a running session in the future. Thanks for that Alex will look forward to seeing the Blue Era running session on You Tube, Have a good Holiday. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROY@34F Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Just catching up on this thread, and congratulations on this brilliant layout Alex. But I don't know how accurate you aim to be with buildings etc. ,because in post 69, that looks like an ash plant ? If so, there wasn't an ash plant at Top Shed, nor at the station loco. Indeed I don't think there was one of that type any where on the ECML, at least up to York as I remember, but I would stand corrected on that. Regards, Roy.

Hi Roy, Thanks for looking, I think the loco shed will be more of modelers license, as there is no space to create the real Top Shed, and i wanted to have an ash plant somewhere. But Kings Cross will be as accurate as I can make it. Regards Alex Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LNERGE Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Super stuff. One small comment. I've always fitted my facing point locks outside the switches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always fitted my facing point locks outside the switches. 8570238544_952383cfbd_b.jpg Your right, they are normally on the outside but can also be on the in side. I may change them around in the future, but will need to modify the points to fit them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNERGE Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I nipped out and bought some and it looks like a right royal pain to fit them in the right place on Peco points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LNERGE Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Brilliant! If you want to re-shoot the Westinghouse miniature levers bit i can help. I could even temporarily mount a KX box diagram. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium thegreenhowards Posted December 21, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 21, 2017 Alex, I’ve just found your thread, and I’m blown away by the scale of your ambition - fantastic. I am considering Kings Cross in the 1950s as my ‘layout of a lifetime’, but just the station as far as gas works tunnel. I thought that was ambitious! Have you written your layout up anywhere - construction techniques, control, etc.? Looking forward to the next update. Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
