    Until at least 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month, yes.

    Annoying 'water mark', only watched a few minutes owing to it being dead centre!

    (Just come here from another thread.) Does this 2-wire system allow for reverse loops & wye junctions without any extra faffing about?

    I hate that, when you've been waiting a long time for something, & it turns out to be crap!

    ......love those size comparisons!

    Perhaps some enterprising manufacturer can make a modern day version of the block instruments; as there won't be many of the originals available at affordable prices.

    Sector plate fiddle leading to three sidings, (as in a 'nook). (3-2-2 will only need about 3ft 6in x 1ft 3in)

    That's where a micro comes in handy, something to play with operate whilst constructing your layout of a lifetime. (Mind you, you may get hooked on micros, so beware.)

    Was that the layout where they used clockwork & bell codes between sections?

    Mine slept in too!

    Don't let it bother you Mike. There are a lot of 'nit pickers' - over here, we call them 'rivet counters'. We have been led to believe 'less is more' when considering layout planning for an American style layout. All layout plans have merit, even if used in a different context. Double slips are a great way of cramming more operating interest into a layout, even if it may not be prototypical, it's all about having fun.

    ......about one foot long, maybe.

    ....but what is that he is waving.
  14. switcher 1
    Is this something different to sector plates & train turntables?

    I just received another 4w coach & 3 more trucks today. Edit: Note - these were at a 'sensible' price, in good running condition, (I'm not worried that my 'toys' have been previously played with).

    ......or just trade it for American 0 gauge.

    I think you forgot to mention rain......

    'Older' racing cyclists swear by glucosamine for their knee joints, wouldn't harm to try it.
  19. switcher 1
    It is so tempting.....but will wait to see production models/liveries.

    Ah, that familiar rumble of a train running around on bare boards.

    Simplicity & fond memories. Who didn't put trackwork together on the table or floor, only to have to pick it up & put it away again after a few hours of pleasure watching the trains running around the track. (Remembering not to over wind the springs!)

    If you do join, would you be so kind as to let me (us?) know what exactly they offer, as I thought about joining, but wasn't sure what they were actually offering, thanks.

    Don't really know why, but I do seem to like single power car passenger stock. (Railmotors, single unit diesel railcars, doodlebugs, etc.)

    Where you have the freight car, that should be your vehicle with the longest overhang, (ie bogie centre pivot to end of vehicle/coupler). On the adjoining track, you should run your longest vehicle, (ie between bogie centres), because there is a slight curve there & it will overhang on the inside of the curve. Then add about a quarter of an inch for safety.

    It is usual to check with the longest overhanging vehicles at all possible conflict points, looks like you may have forgotten, you have my sympathy.
