Chubber Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I find ageing decreases both memory function and the sense of passing time......Where was I? Oh yes! Have I or have I not seen an Inglenook, beautifully modelled here somewhere that incorporated a level crossing [closed] as one limit of shunt? Conversely, have I thought of something new? That's used up my allocation of question marks for the month, so over to the RMWeb sleuths. Doug Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyA Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I have the same problem but my saved pictures and Google took me here. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=15256 It at least has the level crossing and is a very nice model.

Chubber Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 Oh, Tony! I didn't think I could have had an original idea. That's not the one although it is everything you have said, especially the 'nice model'. I'll confess now to having wasted about a trillion electrons trying to find the one I'm after, found many, but not the one. I remember [did I?] that it used two curved turnouts and one pair of crossing gates, and as Colin suggests, had a tree to the right to obscure the view of the far right-hand side of the crossing. [He's a bit good, that Colin, isn't he...?] Blast! I'm now into next months allocation of question marks.... Doug Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Don't worry Doug the electrons are just fine but an awful lot of photons will have tranferred energy between them. You're not wrong about Colin's Inglenook. I thought I'd seen another one with a level crossing to close off the end but I've just found the layout I was thinking of and it didn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenton Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Conversely, have I thought of something new? Doug Is anything ever new or unthought of in model railway layouts ... sadly. I can think of seeing at least two other layouts with an inglenook "theme" on was in 7mm the other IIRC was in EM. I cannot recall names but both were on the show circuit. The 7mm one was more of a paved yard with insets and had "the usual" bridge over as a scenic break. The EM was the typical "town" scene with a road and adjacent terrace of houses as the scenic "off scene" break., what is more the level crossing "old style" gates worked. The latter is frequently used as an off scene break and makes a pleasing change on any layout from the tradition bridge (with or without a bus on it).

Chubber Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 No, Steve, not that one either, but thanks for the post. I do like the little chapel building! Doug Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire2865 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Not an inglenook, but one layout I remember which had a crossing as an end stop. YL Point http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/77946-yl-point/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubber Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 Close but no cigar, Trevor. Thanks for your input. In retrospect, the one that I'm after had medium 'Y' turnouts. It came to me 20 minutes after putting out the light last night, SWMBO was not amused to be dragged from her slumbers by me saying out loud 'Medium 'Y's...not curved!'
