Hi Dave I will be making some significant compromises on both length and complexity of the station and yards but I'm that the general feeling will be retained. Russell

I'm modelling late fifties - early sixties, probably more towards the latter so that I can drop in a Hymek or two as well as a Dapol class 22.

I need Martin to explain how I can export a full track plan!

Well the best part of 5 years in to my project to model Barnstaple Junction and a version of Ilfracombe I have finally laid all the track to the west end of the station. The first 3 years were spent creating the plans in Templot, coming back every few months not a continous effort. Next job is to cut all the insulation in rail and copper clad sleepers before I start wiring up. This will be the first time that I have got this far in something like 35 years, the last start became the basis of my Father's layout. I've built a few kits and bits and pieces over the years but never really settled on what/where I would model so the EM Gauge fleet at the moment consists of a Finecast IoW O2, a Hornby Dublo Type 1 and and an old Mainline Peak. The cupboard however contains more Ns, T9s, West Countries, Ivatts and Std 4s than you could shake a stick at. I just need to convert a few to EM and DCC!
