RMweb Gold PjKing1 Posted March 19, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 19, 2017 Now Paul, you will need to practice some track laying first. So it has to be ELJ in 7mm. Just think of a grubby gronk creaking through that crossing with a few minerals...... Envy....... Keith HC Thanks Keith, I know that's the thoughts I was having the other day or these two Cheers 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PjKing1 Posted March 23, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 23, 2017 Right I thought I best do a 'what's going on' update, at the moment KX is just to much to soon as it's a huge project but that's not saying I'll never do it, it is something I'd love to build one day. I'd like to just thank everyone for all the great input and information you've all given and hopefully it'll still to to use whether it's with me in the future or for other people giving KX a go. As for my 7mm modelling I'm going to attempt to build my Edge Lane Junction in 7mm, again not an easy task but I've been building it in 4mm for around 3 years so I know nearly everything about it so please follow my attempts at that, there is a link in my signature to it. Thanks again everyone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithHC Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Well done Paul you no it makes sense. I will look forward to KX in the future(you may well get a lottery win and build all of KX!!!.....).

andi4x4 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 wouldn't mind that lottery win though Not this week, Paul - I'm having it ! :D :D ELJ Series O - sounds like a plan ! Working with something you already know should be a big bonus for you. Will be looking forward to the build on that, and KX, if/when it becomes a reality. In the meantime - don't snap up all the cl37s - I want one ! :D 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PjKing1 Posted December 10, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) Anymore updates on the layout please?Hi Rob sorry late reply it’s beem a mad few months so this project is kind of on hold, I’ve been doing a couple of tiny bits for ELJ and I’ve got another idea which might be a bit easier to build at the back of my mind. We’re moving house in less than two weeks and I started a new job in September to which has taken up most my time as it’s six months training, I’m not complaining though as this is my new office Edited December 10, 2018 by PjKing1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBTKraisee Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Apologies if it's bad form in this community to resurrect an old thread as my very first post here, but I've gone through all 16 pages on this thread and it is clear there are people here who know King's Cross far better than I, so I wanted to try to reach out for your help. I'm in the process or designing an N-gauge KX station, circa 1990's (attached are some images of my early stage work) - but I've come across a bit of a snag in terms of accurate dimensions - specifically I can't quite get a solid bead on the height for the main shed: From photo's inside (example), I get 148 bricks from platform to the top of the main shed walls/the roof line. Assuming 65mm tall bricks and 8mm of mortar as an average, that puts the wall at around 10,796mm tall. But the drawings I've found of the early 2000's redevelopment of the station suggest its more like 11,900mm - a 10% discrepancy. I'm trying to figure out what the real number looks like and I'm hoping someone on here might be able to help nail it down. Thanks in advance for any assistance - it's greatly appreciated!
