Thank you! Bungus (?)

Just enquiring, any success in contacting Kevin Smith?

Thanks

Thank you! Bungus (?)

Hello both! Do you know where or who I might purchase this model from, please?? Annette 

Thanks you Michael and David for your time in looking at the problem! I tried all variations of isolated rail joiners and track feeds, but all defeated me! I understand why now, and how to solve it. However, I don't think I'll attempt an auto reverse module - am at a basic digital model railway stage of learning!  Best wishes. Annette 

Me again! Sorry, to re-post for more advice! I have now added an inner loop (which I have called 'right larger loop') and it runs beautifully. So I also bravely attempted to add another inner loop (which I have called 'left smaller loop') which does not work, and shorts. This is the section between the points marked A to B. Would any of you lovely experts suggest where I need to add insulated rail joiners and power feeds please? I have indicated where I have already placed IRJs and power feeds to the track. Electrofrog points throughout and DCC. I promise not to trouble you a 3rd time! Thanks (in advance!).  Annette

Thank you amdaley (Keith?), (and Harlequin Phil, Tony and David,) I have done what you suggest and it all is working beautifully now! Best wishes and most grateful, Annette 

Thank you Keith, that's kind of you to reply! I now have done what you suggest and it all is working beautifully now! Best wishes, Annette 

Thank you guys. So on which rails exactly do I fit the four per each crossover?   If two are fitted between each of the end-to-end points (as on 'Harlequin's' diagram), where do I place the (4) others?  Annette

Help! Can someone tell me where to add insulated rail joiners on my DCC layout with electrofrog points please?

Thank you! Annette

Peter Paye wrote an Oxford Library book, No 229, on the Snape Branch. S/H copies are on Amazon at around £9. Worth having I would reckon. If you do a web search, guess you probably have, the images/links provide some nice results if you wade through them, eg v.good model of the Maltings on Nigel Cliffe's blogspot. 

Thank you so much Izzy. Hvae just viewed the amazing model of the Maltings on Nigel Cliffe's blogspot!! I do have the Snape Branch book which is very good. You are kind to suggest these resources! Annette

The branch to Snape was only ever a goods only line and never carried passengers. Wikipedia has a short history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snape_branch_line

 

There were other passenger and freight branches nearby:

 

Saxmundham to Aldeburgh (part of which still exists - or did until very recently - due to the nuclear power station).

Wickham Market - Framlingham

Bentley to Hadleigh (goods only from 1932)

Haughley - Laxford (originally Mid Suffolk Light Railway)

Mellis - Eye (also goods only from 1931)

Ipswich - Felixstowe (more mainline in character)

 

I think that's the lot (but I could be wrong!)

Thank you David - that's very helpful of you!

Thank you Paul.

Thats a very useful list of resources you have given

Hello, I am a new member, interested in craft modelling and I live near Snape Suffolk. Has anyone created a layout of the old Snape Station and Snape Maltings site please, and have any photos of your model? Thank you.

Hello Justin

Have you made the Snape Maltings railway layout yet? Love to see a pic, as I live close by.
