CME and Bottlewasher Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 (edited) Hi Steve, With current discussions within the GOG being about RTL concrete sleepered track, how did you make yours? Peco parts? ATVB, M. Edited February 5, 2019 by CME and Bottlewasher Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve fay Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 Yes standard Peco components, not the cheapest but the only way, I do have enough left over for a 60’ panel so I will cut the pandrol clips off and glue on C&L chairs to make a concrete sleeper bull head rail section, I’ll use this on the Holcombe Cove section. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Brasher Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I was interested to see your 0 gauge model of Dawlish. Terry Jenkins from the South Dorset Modellers is building a TT gauge model of the same location. He has seen an 0 gauge model and he was impressed with the height of the cliffs. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve fay Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) Half of Smugglers Retreat and all of Coryton Cliffs. The other half of Smugglers Retreat is on the opposite side of the room, As I’m waiting on trees and laser cut parts I might as well start on the boards for Holcombe Cove. I’ve got all of the softwood I just need some ply. Edited February 7, 2019 by steve fay 9 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
