P.C.M Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 When did the 'Highland Rail' logo first appear? My first trip up North was in 85 and most of the Inverness locos seemed to have a Stag at that point, so maybe during 84. Cheers Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indomitable026 Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 I've been sorting out my modelling room today - which involved building three bookcases to deal with - well - the books. I found my spotters guide from 1983...... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indomitable026 Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 Now then, here's a thing. I've never considered myself as a 'spotter', however having reviewed the contents of the 1983 'Motive Power' it seems that I had a little dabble as a teenager. Hmmm. The upshot of this is that I have a record of the loco's I saw during the trip to Inverness in 1983 ! The following 26s and 27s were copped; Fascinating, so these have to be the priority loco's to be modelled - when I've saved some pennies 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indomitable026 Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 I've (part) learned how to use Templot this morning and had a go at a draft plan to see what sort of overall size we are talking about. There's lots of things I've not got right, certain track centres etc but it gives a basic indication on overall size I need to size up the buildings and see if they can be included on the drawing 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indomitable026 Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 A bit more fiddling. - This is by no means the final design I've had great fun with my first steps on Templot - a long way to go though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indomitable026 Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 The more I do the more interesting it gets. I've just put blocks on for now, but once I've worked out the actual building sizes I can plug them in and adjust the plan and track to suit. My initial thoughts of changes/ refinements required; Ease the radius of bottom three curves to flatten plan out a little Platform at the top left currently doesn't disappear behind the shed Work out correct shed sizes Align track into sheds following above 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indomitable026 Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 Hmmmm Something has been bugging me, and I've realised what - not enough track !! The top building has 4 tracks and is actually two buildings with pitch roofs. so that's more points, It should fit but some shuffling will be required; ho hum...
