shortliner Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Yesterday I saw a Youtube video that I believe was posted on 24/11/17 - regarding building and running an oval layout 55" X 18" (yes, 9" curves in OO) or thereabouts, featuring Hornby/Triang OO scale. It featured small 0-4-0 and 0-6-0 Locos ( including an O8)and short wagons and 4-wheel coaches - Trackwork including the end curves was flextrack, and it was laid out on bare boards to test the concept. Needless to say I have lost the address - if anyone can help find it, it would be much appreciated as trying to find it again is driving me to distraction.

bertiedog Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 FIRST try your computer's history function, unless you daily clear it, it should list all viewed content.......... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortliner Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 (edited) That is part of the problem - I can't find the computer history function - I can find a function to delete it but not the actual history Edited November 26, 2017 by shortliner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Davis Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 If you were viewing it on YouTube then just click on the history icon on your Youtube home page. The, when you do find it again, add it to Watch Later. HTH Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shortliner Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 (edited) No - but thanks or trying - I also tried history on Youtube without success, but I think it was watched via a link on Facebook, Edited November 26, 2017 by shortliner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an interesting idea and I'm now wondering what minimum radius my H0m stock could handle. I've assumed a sensible minimum of 12 inches and have always found a solid two foot wide baseboard to be a bit awkward to handle but say 1m x 0.5m might make a good stand layout. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortliner Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) David - My friend in Canada lives in an apartment and is a NG fan, so I thought it might work (possibly with slight enlargement) as an ON30 layout. A scenic divider board down the middle or diagonally across might separate the two sides. I thought it might possibly work for my purposes as a US layout with HO Plymouths/trackmobiles/44/45/70 tonners using setrack turnouts and moving the sidings/freight yard to the other end of the loop. I thought another use might be as an exhibition layout proving to parents that you don't need 6' x 4' or 8' x 4' boards taking up space in modern houses. It reminds me in many ways of a layout in a wayback Railway Modeller that featured TT scale on 009 track, and had a photo of a scratch-bodied GVT-style loco beside an old threepenny bit. Glad the post I was hunting for was of use to somebody else. FWIW, I believe there is an update coming tomorrow (Tuesday).
