31374547 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 My first attempt at a model railway. Brickhill is a fictitious location based on the S&C area with inspiration taken from Dent and Blea Moor. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold scottystitch Posted December 20, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 20, 2018 Looks very good. Even more impressive considering it's your first railway. Can you give us some particulars? Scale/gauge, dimensions, control, etc. Thanks for sharing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyMay Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 What about the facing turnout? Was it added by BR? Is that prototypical? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
31374547 Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) Re the facing turnout Tony..... The layout is BR 1980s. Inspired by Dent and Blea Moor and the S&C in general....but not intended to be strictly prototypical. The main to main cross over is trailing, but the turn-outs for the loops are facing. Looking at Anderson&Fox, it shows a 1962 signalling diagram for Blea Moor with facing points for the loops so I guess the LMS aversion to facing points was relaxed in later years. The layout is largely based on this loop structure. Edited February 23, 2019 by 31374547 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
