Good Afternoon Kevin, I have a similar problem with the Relief Line junction on my temporary layout Lower Thames Goods Shed. However, I have decided that trying to make the junction between the High Wycombe Branch and the Relief Lines, is just too complicated on a "quicky" layout, so my lines history is that the relief lines between Maidenhead East and Reading were never built, initially due to shortage of funds, and then Lord Maidenhead bought the land to build houses for commuters, so the relief line platforms were needed for terminating trains from Paddington! Hence the layout has three tracks on the right hand side but only the branch on the left! Rule 1, or what??!! Cheers Paul 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here was me thinking I'm seeing double. Mick, I don't think horse racing works on the double or quits basis!!?? Mind you , the way things are going we will all have forgotten how any sport and the betting thereon works by the time things return to get to the new normal! Never mind, just take care, keep smiling (from at least a 2 metre distance) Best regards to you all Paul 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have access to Tim Bryan's excellent book 'A year in the life of the Great Western' have a look at p.8 showing an identical container on a GWR Scammell mechanical horse outside a terraced house in 1935 with chaps in white coats & aprons (and ties of course) unloading a kitchen cabinet from the container's back doors.

But Taking a picture and standing back and mulling over it.... Hmmm It just doesn't look right Chain to heavy - it was all I have at the moment! Screw link - now insitu way to large Somedays things don't always go as planned, funny it looked alright when working on it but standing back now......no! To large and heavy...….
