Further on Travel

While the train strike on Saturday means most service are cancelled, train services to  Crewe provide by Transport for Wales are operating on Saturday.  In theory  train services will be operating normally on Sunday.

For those arriving by car, while Crewe can be accessed by two junctions off the M6,  its worth noting that it is easier to get to the stadium whether travelling north or south is by leaving at junction 16 signed posted A500 to Crewe.  Take the A500 towards Crewe.  Ignore the main turn to Crewe  Congleton and the station on the 2nd roundabout, and  take the 3rd roundabout signposted  B5071 Crewe Commercial Park and follow the B5071.  This becomes Gresty Road.   After the low bridge under the railway the stadium and the car park is on the right before you get into the town.

?i can print 30 sleepers in 22 minutes, if you go for thin sleepers instead of full thickness it's only 15 minutes. Gauge is spot on, 18.83mm

 

I did wonder how long 22 meter worth would take to print.  I make that 2200 sleepers, or amusingly  just half an hour short of 18.83 hours printing time (18.33 hours if printing thin sleepers).  That is actually rather more reasonable than I was expecting but could prove a bit tedious.  Would a cheap printer be up to that?  Also turn round time between each print will also be significant in the final overall printing time.

Just incidentally, your post identified the Tram as a Y6, which the design of the sideskirts shows it to be, but it has the six wheels of a J70.

Sorry but the side skirts footsteps and panel details, are right for a J70 not a Y6, and they are about the only easy way to tell the difference between the two, 

A Y6 look like this,  It has only 2 steps in one hole at each end,  no obvious access panels/cylinder covers through the skirts,  which go strait up from the bottom edge

A J70 looks like this.  Note three separate steps at each end and the extra access panels.  The J70 skirts are "tucked in" along the bottom edge while the Y6s aren't.  

I'd have said that six wheels is definitely the right number for dcross22's loco.
