Pity that the fiddle wasn't an inch further forward, you could have brought the front line into use too. Nah, I’m happy how it is - you know me, I like the odd random track that goes nowhere. Remember the two “Newquay” lines on Diesels in the Duchy? They went nowhere - and they were different gauges, one P4, one EM... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BetweenTheTunnels Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 (edited) Looking good Damian. Is the front Rose Street curve just to complete the scene, rather than being operational? EDIT: Sorry missed a page, hadn't seen there was a page 50 and 2ManySpams has answered my question!! Richie Edited January 1, 2021 by Rochdale Road Lack of eyesight!

Also, if it connected to the fiddle yard, you would need to add a second fiddle yard on the other end to allow traffic to run through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair Treneglos was only extended twice and only had two generations of fiddle yard. A minor 12' extension in scope over the original 20' - only 60% scope creep. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two layouts in one, with each serving as a fiddle yard for the other. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping when I come to start track laying on my P4 layout I can achieve something similar! Looking good Damian Richie I’ve generally really enjoyed it. The key thing is as I’ve got older I’ve managed to slow myself down and pace myself - I was always in too much of a rush to get things done before. Building this P4 track has been no more difficult than any other gauges I’ve worked in - in fact with the excellent gauges and jigs in some ways it’s easier. Posting on here allows me to reflect and check - these days all my work is done under a magnifier, however there’s nothing like closeup photos to show you what’s wrong - it’s warts and all on here. Like everything it’s important to recognise when your having a bad day and walk away - some days I can’t even thread chairs on rail - it’s fascinating how different you can feel and how it effects your abilities on a given day. Enjoy your build. 1 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
