    I emailed the guy who does them and he can print it so the steps are on the left, which is very helpful.

    Thanks Exactly what i need. Only problem with model is the steps are on the wrong side, wonder if they can be moved to other side.

    Hi Hope i have posted tis in right section. I am looking to get dimensions of Caledonian Railway signal boxes, i believe the exact one i am after is a CRS4 one, but all i can find our photos. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Cheers

    Ok, have marked on plan where i think i need plastic rail joiners. Can anyone check they are in right place. Now other question is do i need a dropper on every piece of track?
  5. barney121e
    Ok, that makes sense. So either use the clips and plastic rail joiners or leave them as are but provide power to each piece of track. Makes sense. Do they fit peco points? Where exactly do they fit?
  6. barney121e
    To be honest, completely confused by what you mean about spring clips? Not planning on modifying the points at all. And will not have DCC sound, if that helps. Also if it makes any difference, looking to add extra pickups to the locos.

    Hi Am i right in thinking that, although not totally necessary, it is good practice to put insulated rail joiners on the V's of the points? Cheers

    It is only laid loose at the moment for testing to start with, which has been positive. Because it is a dcc layout i will need to solder droppers etc but just wanted to make sure a train runs ok on it.

    Yeah, i can curve them round slightly, dont look so close on the software. Yeah got the peco one, spacing is nearly right, might just need an adjustment here and there.

    So after lots of joining, unjoining, cutting flexi, throwing it away with many expletives decided to stick with solely setrack. In the future will revisit flexi but for now i am happy how plan is looking. First pic is front of layout, second is the fiddle yard area. Although against the wall it is movable but will definitely fit a piece of ply at back to stop trains falling off.

    The gentle curve is giving me slight nightmare have added a small curve on left and shortened straight slightly so a piece of flexi will fit. Not decided on goods yard/engine area yet, but will sort it out. Thanks to you, @Harlequinand everyone else who has helped get this far, the plan is exactly what i want, which is the most important thing.

    Would the building positions work?
  13. barney121e
    Just connected up some pieces, used setrack just for now. From edge of board to track is 75mm. Gives me a rough idea.
  14. barney121e
    How much of a problem would it be to design a goods yard as you suggest? Just so i have different options. 1. Thats a great idea, like the overgrown siding. 2. Would it look strange to have have the sidings split, one to engine shed and one to goods yard (maybe add a second line)?
  15. barney121e
    This one does have the advantage of flexi joining setrack both ends. I have a couple of questions for you and @Harlequin 1. What could i use the line bottom right for? 2. At the Ypoint, does it have to be a goods yard, could it just be an engine shed? it will be a heritage line if that makes a difference.
  16. barney121e
    Did a quick measure and bottom right is 75mm from edge but will lay out plan tonight and try and get exact figure
  17. barney121e
    What if i use st238 on both curves bottom left, and then flexi ?
  18. barney121e
    Can i just check that the thought is the track starts to gently curve from the blue to the red circles? The red line are just over extended flexi.
  19. barney121e
    Thanks for working on sorting out the plan. Nothing too bodgee ideally.
  20. barney121e
    I had a flash of inspiration from another plan i was thinking about in regard to the fiddle yard. Not sure if it improves things or not.
  21. barney121e
    I had a play, and only space i have is where the red circle is. My only other query i have is the line above the blue circle. Trains on the inside line will run anti clockwise so how would a train access this line?
  22. barney121e
    What is the error?
  23. barney121e
    Thanks, was my thinking but thought i'd check.
  24. barney121e
    This is plan i got to.
  25. barney121e
    Ok, so have managed to get a plan on anyrail from Chimer's suggestion. Still open to other thoughts though. Quick question, normally Flexi is spaced differently to settrack but am I right to keep the settrack spacing all round?
