Earl Bathurst Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 Could anyone advise: Would the curves be banked/ superelevated? I know i can achieve this with thin plasticard under one side of the track but is this prototypical for my type of plan and though the station?

Earl Bathurst Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 First loco to run on part of Hebden. So far so good. Lots more wiring to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Bathurst Posted May 27, 2019 Author Share Posted May 27, 2019 Very pleasing moment the first train has completed a full circuit of the down line. Everything runs smooth and curves look good and run well. As soon as my outstanding point work is delivered I can finally run the whole layout.

Earl Bathurst Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 Layout update: All track work is down and wired up Retaining walls are completed and weathered. More updates to follow 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Bathurst Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 Having built one of the platforms (nearest the retaining wall) I don't think a large station suits the layout. My option isto have no station or maybe a very small platform and station. 2 coaches long for local stoppers. Any thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would always have a station somehow, but that's me, not you. I am a little bit lost with your plan now, as I have referred to the original plan, but cannot see those coal staithes?

RMweb Gold Richard_A Posted June 24, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) Look at ravensthorpe for a small local station, that might give you an idea. Edited June 24, 2019 by rka 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I built the coal staithes a few months ago. When Phil drew the plan up I forgot to include them. I found a place for thembut the plan hasn't been updated. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
