RSS Fetcher Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I am now the proud owner of 3 APA boxes. I have knocked one up quickly, and a couple of issues have arisen:<br /><br />1. The 150mm radius Curves fit, but only just. I can carry on with them, but it will be tight. Alternatively I can utilise 140mm Curves from Tomix, however the corresponding points are Tomix too, and I can't seem to find out if they are compatible with Kato Switches. <br /><br />2. The upright posts are a little wider than expected, but this can be got round with a couple of gentle S Bends and some surgery to them.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I say construction is about to begin as I may completely scrap the APA boxes and go for some bespoke laser cut baseboards, which would give me a lot more to play with.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />This gives me the chance to use the Kibri Albula Viaduct, and add some more buildings into the layout. The APA boxes wouldn't go wont waste as a near 2 year old in the house can use them for their original purpose.<br /><br />Why does this hobby constantly through decisions at us?<div id='attach_wrap' class='rounded clearfix'> <h4>Attached thumbnail(s)</h4> <ul> <li class=''> <a class='resized_img' rel='lightbox[16891]' id='ipb-attach-url-639376-0-87224400-1446474035' href="http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/uploads/monthly_11_2015/blogentry-7128-0-75207700-1446473314.jpg"title="APA Bahn Final with Fiddle Under.jpg - Size: 88.92KB, Downloads: 0"><img src="http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/uploads/monthly_11_2015/blogentry-7128-0-75207700-1446473314_thumb.jpg" id='ipb-attach-img-639376-0-87224400-1446474035' style='width:800;height:130' class='attach' width="800" height="130" alt="Attached Image" /></a> </li> <li class=''> <a class='resized_img' rel='lightbox[16891]' id='ipb-attach-url-639377-0-88351100-1446474035' href="http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/uploads/monthly_11_2015/blogentry-7128-0-21238200-1446473315.jpg"title="snapshot.jpg - Size: 59.46KB, Downloads: 0"><img src="http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/uploads/monthly_11_2015/blogentry-7128-0-21238200-1446473315_thumb.jpg" id='ipb-attach-img-639377-0-88351100-1446474035' style='width:800;height:399' class='attach' width="800" height="399" alt="Attached Image" /></a> </li> <li class=''> <a class='resized_img' rel='lightbox[16891]' id='ipb-attach-url-639378-0-88357700-1446474035' href="http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/uploads/monthly_11_2015/blogentry-7128-0-72035100-1446473649.jpg"title="Shaunbachdorf Shot 2.jpg - Size: 58.49KB, Downloads: 0"><img src="http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/uploads/monthly_11_2015/blogentry-7128-0-72035100-1446473649_thumb.jpg" id='ipb-attach-img-639378-0-88357700-1446474035' style='width:800;height:399' class='attach' width="800" height="399" alt="Attached Image" /></a> </li> <li class=''> <a class='resized_img' rel='lightbox[16891]' id='ipb-attach-url-639379-0-88363400-1446474035' href="http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/uploads/monthly_11_2015/blogentry-7128-0-70265300-1446473650.jpg"title="Shaunbachdorf Shot.jpg - Size: 52.11KB, Downloads: 0"><img src="http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/uploads/monthly_11_2015/blogentry-7128-0-70265300-1446473650_thumb.jpg" id='ipb-attach-img-639379-0-88363400-1446474035' style='width:800;height:399' class='attach' width="800" height="399" alt="Attached Image" /></a> </li> <li class=''> <a class='resized_img' rel='lightbox[16891]' id='ipb-attach-url-639380-0-88368700-1446474035' href="http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/uploads/monthly_11_2015/blogentry-7128-0-09637300-1446473651.jpg"title="Shaunbachdorf.jpg - Size: 105.37KB, Downloads: 0"><img src="http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/uploads/monthly_11_2015/blogentry-7128-0-09637300-1446473651_thumb.jpg" id='ipb-attach-img-639380-0-88368700-1446474035' style='width:800;height:158' class='attach' width="800" height="158" alt="Attached Image" /></a> </li> </ul> </div> View the full article Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
