Then you had that vast expanse of emptiness with a headshunt on the main board that was crying out for sidings, presuming these are for the PW wagons again. Cheers, The Units look better on show, and do free up Fiddle Yard Roads, but watch this / or that, space on the board. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers George, I have changed it again and all will be revealed in a day or two, basically, I have put in a By Directional Freight Loop, where the 450 was in the previous photo to bring the Sidings inside of the Depot area, just ripping up, and re laying a point or two, or three, well maybe FIVE actually. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know its ridiculous. I've had the 7 car APT on order. When I ordered the price was £440 in 2020. It then went to £533 in 2021 and the 2022 price is now £586. I know things have gone up but there are no tooling costs to recover in the second batch, no design costs so why the high price. The model shop from whom I ordered it has charged me £485 - a figure I don't recognise but I am grateful that they have not taken an unfair profit and charged the current going rate. By the way I am not going 00. There are other reasons for this purchase! Paul R 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
