Sounds like a great idea, James May's line was not exactly a model railway. What is needed is a a hall at the NEC and lots of modular layuts US style made to standard templates with some protocab Radio Control locos to get round the power supple DCC/DC problems and allow through running. Probably need to do it in the USA.

Wot, they sre going to take on Northlandz and Wunderland? Yeah right. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-39114195

I've always thought the Cardington hangers would be a fine space for a layout. At about 800' long, you could (at 4mm scale) have a scale 11 mile run before you have to go round any corners.

Don't be miffed. Make it easy for us. Try adding a couple of photos or links to the thread to get people interested. Also, some of us have signatures turned off so won't have seen any links there.

ah

Seriously what is borugh?????????????????????????????????????

Is That a resolution of .002mm?

Just how much do these 3D printers cost to buy, and I can imagine their not cheap!

the one my dad got [as it is my dad who bought it for my use] cost

Perhaps offer some constructive criticism rather than a simple complaint?

I just wish the close-ups on people weren't quite so close. No offence intended!

It's fine for what it is, come on.

It's either them or nowt if you want a kit.

wasn't really expecting much in the way of kits, i was looking for plastic kits like the Dapol stanier kits

Ah...I don't know who owns the former Airfix/GMR Mk.2 moulds now, but I've not seen them come out as CKD packs.

thanks I'm using a modified track plan from a magazine that suggests a 1 in 42 for a 4 inch rise but i need 6 inches

Another simple way to see the gradient in 3D, is use a length of spare wood at the angle you tend to use. example - piece of 2x1 6` long raised 2" at one end would show a 2.8% gradient.

Steam or diesel? Train of bogie stock or four-wheelers? Any curves in your rise? I'd say 1:32 is hit or miss depending on what you will run.

damn it.... I was just going to use my usual motif of a dragon as I don't want use the other idea of Yaxley model works

How about "A1A-A1A Models"? Should be first in the directory/search engine!

Draco perhaps?

Very sad, so sorry for you Adam. Not a pleasant state of affairs for a modeller to be in.

well the good thing is I may be getting free reign of the main loft which is bigger

also not happy as my parents are now pushing me to do it even though I volunteered to do it to make their lives easier

thanks

....and I still have the rest of a collection to liquidate over the next few years.....

like what?

For

How is the shop coming along?

I'd stick this in layout and track design as not every one reads these updates and its soon lost but on the main site it stays there for ever and can be bumped from time to time

Loads of money.....

Markway of Sheffield makes crazy bespoke track work.

Is dehydrated water just oxygen?

Fresher than a fresh thing's fresh bits?

Its only been through me twice.

ahh i see, it's only to get the consist coupled tightly between coaches, not too fussed for between coaches and locos so that's staying as a hook and bar type

is there any fleischmann couplers the correct length?

If I recall correctly the socket is slightly too high. You should be ok coupling within rakes with kadees if you don't plan on trying to connect to anything else I.e. Retaining coupling bars on outer ends of rakes. I also think I recall that the problem on the mk1 depends on the bogies fitted. You might find that 1 type is actually the right height but I couldn't remember for sure. For what it's worth I found most of my mk1s and 2s coupled ok to other stock despite the slight hei...

also Clag only have the wheel diameter for a class 91

I have posted something in the modelling questions, help and tips section, look there.

Will 3 halves be any easier?

Yes.

yay can now use it in the new thread

just got to think of a name for the layout

I'll have 2 floors one for OO one for N

OK, you win!

I'd buy a largish field and model narrow gauge. 12" to 1' scale. 2ft gauge

I'm in Peterborough mainly building and exhibiting 00 at the moment

You might want to start a topic in the clubs section given the ephemeral nature of SUs

good idea

there in tescos next to the kitkats

Iron or wood?

Satnav?

Satan’s goldfish what’s it called?

Wroxham. in Norfolk a very strange part of the world to put it

http://wroxhamminiatureworlds.co.uk/

Bit of an odd location, but there is logic. Very tourist orientated area, 5 min walk from national rail and Bure valley railway, lots of broads traffic, plus there's always roys of wroxham...

There's alway Bekonscot

Would be a good tourist attraction if there was one.

Whats wrong with Pendon !

It doesn’t make commercial sense, I’m afraid.

As Patrick says, it makes perfect sense in Germany and a number of other markets where three rail AC is still popular, but in the UK it'd be answering a question that nobody has asked and just add cost for no real benefit to the overwhelming (and I mean overwhelming) number of users.

Just give me high voltage Roco rails...

Give the Hobby shop at Faversham a ring.

They seem to have a fare bit of Braes stock or certainly did the last time I visited.

Should read Fair, darn spellchecker !

I need the plug in platform lights

thanks

Can also recommend schmidt-wissen.de or Modellbahnshop Sebnitz, among others.

Think maybe Acadia

yeah my channel

Nice, subscribed.

i'll be making more reviews of my current stock some of which if quite old and new stock
