A back curve something like this would capture the access road up the back of the station building. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indomitable026 Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 So, We all met up last night for Marks 40th, beer was drunk and curry consumed and lots of b#ll#cks spoken - a great gig. It turned in to a bid of a swap shop with various items exchanged, we don't see each other much these days as we all live in various locations. I managed to offload Stubbies baseboards, the Southern Signalling book and the 'test track'. In true Swap Shop style I came away with this. A box. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indomitable026 Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 That nice Mr Worsdell picked it up for me a week or two back. Somebody's already had a tinker with it, if and when we end up using it, it will require a full strip down and a full re-build - and a chassis, of course. Love the size of these things compared with the size of the track.... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I have been known to buy the odd layout here and there. But Alstone Quay my NG layout which is at Stafford, Glasgow and Derby this year was built by me as was the most of the stock. Just takes me a longtime to build a layout. Happy Modelling Eltel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
