The blend between the backscene and baseboard is particularly pleasing, as is the greenery.

what are the overall dimensions?

Hi there,

I’ve purchased an RMWeb premium subscription, but when I go to link my accounts it says I don’t have one. Am I missing something?

Thanks! 

Thanks very much Stationmaster. 
 

Two separate ground frames sounds like the most likely scenario for my situation.

thanks again for all the replies

Thanks for the informative replies everyone. 
As a bit more background, this would be in a late 70s early 80s BR WR setting. 
Interesting to hear that handpoints are acceptable as it’s freight only. Would this mean throw off points wouldn’t be necessary on any sidings?

Afternoon all,

Picture if you will, a token worked freight only branch. Within this branch is a loop with 2 crossovers. Let’s say east and west for arguments sake. As I understand it, the west ground frame can be released by Annett’s key (or similar), but how would the east ground frame be released? Is it possible that the west ground frame could have a separate mechanical or electrical  release for the east so both could be used at the same time?

Thanks for any help!

Some great photos, but is it just me that's seeing them all over the place?!

Pictures different in quotes, signatures and profile pics appearing in posts all blown up etc etc.

That last picture has certainly rekindled mine!

Great photos. Nice to see some pictures of my stomping ground.

The Railway in Newbury. Now Halfords.

Another day, another disused track bed walk. This time near Cricklade on the old M&SWJR.

Now this one might require a 'magic eye' sort of look, but in there somewhere is a ballast bin!

I saw these under a bridge on a recent walk in Hampshire. It's an old track bed that's now a right of way. I think they might for telegraph wires, but I'm happy to be corrected!

I've said it before, but what a superb thread this is. Thanks Kevin!

Pretty sure they featured in an episode of "The Train now Departing".

It did. Bizarrely I watched it on iplayer only the other day. Think it was the one where the guy takes a dissapoonting trip to Exmouth.

Saw this at Southampton Central and thought of this thread...

Weekenders.

I'd certainly recommend War Horse, all the more poignant this year.

There's no shame in shedding a tear either, I did!

Looks like a good weekend to me!

For me, something like that would be my ultimate layout. Minimal railway, interesting operation and plenty of scenery.

If only for the time, space, money...

Thanks cap'n. So just a case of passenger seat of the van and back to the start!

I had a google before I asked and came upon this article. Sure I've seen that name before....

Rail and Ale? On a branch line with interesting and unusual working? I'm in!

How do they go about rebalancing the tokens?

The Night Riveria at Paddington, July 2013.

As usual, fantastic pics. Love that Mercedes, would certainly be popular at exhibitions!

After a day on Peak Rail, Mrs Cold-Ash looks less than impressed at the prospect of another "last photo"...

Dozing gronk.
