I will say it "Mornington Crescent" I got the hint from Mrs Trellis of North Wales....... Keith HC

Don't know if you have seen but the Disused Stations web site has up dated all the stations on the Westerham branch. http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/index.shtml Keith HC

Also seen in West Wales both in 150 + 143 and 153 + 143. I have seen both combinations working on Whitland Pembroke Dock services. Keith HC

No matter what Peco should be applauded for making a start in what could be potentially a new range to satisfy British based practice. Peco must have one of the largest data bases of information on track sales and are rightly judging that time is right to improve the 00 offerings. We have seen the advancement of RTR locos Carriages and Wagons over the last 25 years and now the track is set to improve. It will not be exact and the rivet counters will have there field day. But the ordinary modeler will have the chance to put down a more realistic form of trackwork. I feel that suitable pointwork will happen. Its the advancement in 3D design and rapid 3D prototyping that helps any manufacture and I am sure that Peco have taken this onboard. It may well be that the potential for the C&L 00 ready made point has made Peco advance its plans. Maybe in the future the likes of Bachmann and Hornby will buy in Peco 00 trackwork for there sets instead of producing there own. Could we see eventually better scale N gauge track and dare I say it EM gauge from Peco. Keith HC

and for great fools and minds alike. How about the site of German car carrier wagons departing on HS1 with Astras for export coals to Newcastle. Picture seen on Railcam FB page yesterday. This could be a new option 4mm scale European goods stock. Still getting back to Paul's trackwork. It just looks fantastic and I can't wait to see the new layout and if there ever was a book you have got my order already..... Keith HC

You don't need to write a book just need a mantra and it should be simple...... Just do it Keith HC

If you don't want to use it I will just hang it on the wall over my fire place. It will look as good as one of the old masters even better. Well done Paul. Keith HC

You might find this map from the National Library of Scotland better help. http://maps.nls.uk/view/103197895 Keith HC

Use ELJ as your test bed and do ballasting weathering as and when. Keith

Your junction just gets better and better. I think the saying that best describes your efforts was said at mission control Huston during the Apollo 13 problems...... "Failure is not an Option" Well done and a very Merry Mincepie to you and your family. Keith HC

Cor looks like your bus bar is the river Thames. Maybe you needed to superimpose Becks underground map to make it all work. Keith HC

Photos soon waiting for some good weather. Keith HC

Oh dear i will have to get my 86 year old Mother to adjust the parental guidance for this thread........ However looking forward to seeing more of this layout over the time. Still waiting for the first video...... Have a very merry mincepie... Keith HC

You can always have a look at the National Library maps site. The OS 25 ins series covers all of the Southern half of the country so all of the Southern region. http://maps.nls.uk/geo/find/#zoom=6&lat=53.3995&lon=-3.0305&layers=64&point=0,0 Keith HC,

Oh yes on a video looking at the crossing. I will then wait for a Christmas present of a loco using the points....... Keith HC

Well done Paul it looks great. When will we see a brief video........ Keith HC

Hi Blackthorn, Going back to your first entry. The scout hut is still there and the bells of st Georges rang this morning as I was having Breakfast. As for the Listers factory it has all been demolished and slowly being replaced with a brown field housing estate. There is a modern cottage hospital that now stands on the site of the former gas works. Keith HC, Dursley

Yes its still there at least earlier today when I drove past. The gallows bridge as it is known is over grown but there is a footpath that crosses the old railway right next door to the bridge. I will get a few pictures in the next couple of days if it helps. Also have a look on this page: http://www.dursleyglos.org.uk/html/dursley/railway/cam_dursley/cam_dursley.htm Keith HC, Just round the corner from the gallows bridge, Dursley

All looking very good Paul. So I must be WIP have taped down an A4 template and covered by tracing paper. Next week it will be sleepers down but I am going to go slowly! Keith

Just seen this on Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/irishswissernie/23295545535/in/dateposted/ Keith, Dursley

Try Ayjay models for the 4EPB should read 4SUB http://www.southernregionmodels.co.uk/ Keith HC, Dursley

Hi Paul, I have no problems with C&L as I live just up the road. Yesterday I called into the shop and the kit was made up for me on the spot. However the shop was shut today as they are off to the Portsmouth show and need to load the van. But not a problem still have lots to read and digest.For this turnout it will be built off layout as its a trial piece eventually for a fiddle yard. Also toying with idea of re-using some code 75 peco track just cut the sleepers and every four or five glue a piece of plastikard giving the correct gauge. Anybody want a couple of cheap medium radius points never used...... Keith

Looks great Paul and well done. Have got my first A4 turnout kit from C&L so have been following your build with great interest. Off to get some board to build on but have noticed that I have an A vee correct for an A4 but the blades are B have emailed C&L but they are off to the Portsmouth show this weekend. Pity they could have done the Thornbury show instead. Its the small show not the big Bristol one....Also Yesterday my membership of the EM gauge soc arrived as well so lots of reading... Keith HC, Dursley
