Andy Reichert Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 You think you've got it bad Look what the workers on Fort Myers have to deal with!! I'm not up on RR bridge construction rules, but I did wonder if the trestle should have a walkway, or at least space, on one side. With a train stuck on it, it would appear to be uncrossable by humans. Which might make removing said train difficult. Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still need to slim mine down though so they can work as part of the overall shed layout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted July 3, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 3, 2014 Just a quick check, I've not dcc'd the geeps as finishing the layout took all the time with work so will there be some spare power to use? It's that or pop down for a decoder tomorrow and install it tomorrow night Layout boxed up and ready to go. Just need to check I've got all the bits Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonB Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Do we know how many "sections" / Modules will be at the extravaganza ? Asking as I don't know whether to recommend attending to a neighbour (He's nearing retirement and thinking of going to the "dark side"). Business takes him to China 3 or 4 times a year, is this an advantage in obtaining N. American outline stock? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

An almost-up-to-date plan is a couple of pages back up the thread, size-wise it's about 45' square in a 50x50 room. If he's interested in popping in for a look, can you get him to contact Nick first please, it's not a "public" event and there are insurance implications?

Sorry, I knew it is a "closed" event, but saw a mention of Donations of about £4 if members of the public wandered in. I'll check his W/E plans before bothering Nick.

Gerald Henriksen Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I am sure that some long trestles I have seen have just a recess bit of platform every so often but will study a few photos. Ian Walkways on the side of bridges is a relatively new thing (last 20 years?), so depending on timeframe either you bridge doesn't need it, or it could be grandfathered in as an exception.
