    It is great watching this develop The SWT class 159s did work all the way through to Penzance on a Saturday evening and then back up to Waterloo at Sunday lunchtime. so not too unfeasible as you say. The CDA did loose the ECC branding in 2000 after the Imerys takeover - Very possibly because Imerys did not want their company logo plastered over such items!

    That is where I find some sanding can come in handy

    Back in the day the pencil of choice was the Karismacolor range by Berol - Berol stopped making them though, and I never found a suitable replacement at the time. I would assume you can still find them on Ebay or similar but what they cost I do not know. Faber-Castell do the Polychromos range which is alleged to be similar but I have not (yet!) seen on to comment on

    Cut a hole at each end of the proposed pit with an appropriately sized mortice chisel bit and join em up with a jig saw

    I know its pretty much completely OT for the thread here but reading that a magazine (that must turnover ~ £150k per issue) pays nothing to those who provide the appealing content made me literally

    Do they do that? I most certainly would not do so for any application in OO when Peco provide the product we see here I rather like that term - it fits well

    The last plan in the post above this one works for me - Definitely the through running branch to the front IMO

    I seem to recall that the running of these tanks was the reason for the first diesel electrics with air brakes to run in Cornwall.

    Until I saw the picture of Par, I had never realised that the Goods Loop had once been connected to the mainline. Top right,behind the vans sat in the loop.

    Back in the day I knew plenty of drivers who couldn't drive a car; there was no real need if you lived close to or had easy access to your home depot. Though that was when train drivers drove trains most of the time rather than tootling about the country in a little van.

    Oh some real quality pictures of my favourite era and locations! The clarity of the images is wonderful The very first shot of D1001 approaching Teignmouth looks like a model!

    I have made several posts to the effect that THIS thread should be about PECO track, and not some half dreamed up nonsense.
  13. LBRJ
    There is no harm in it.. Bu being interested in the product the thread is supposed to be about it is slightly annoyin to see 20 new posts, read them and weep, cos its just "chat", generally stuff that has been gone over time and again before.

    Who ever said I wanted to put an end to discussion? Certainly not I ! My point, and that of anyone sentient is that this thread is about a new product from Peco....not a discussion about whether it is 4 foot 1 or 4 foot 8 or whatever else.... Does the track work? is it better or worse than what went before? They are the sort of things
  15. LBRJ
    No this thread is supposed to be about the new product from Peco, not a free for all on track standards - That could easily be discussed in the million other threads on such matters.
  16. LBRJ
    Why does the thread (about a new ready to use Peco product) keep on heading into the minutiae of hand built track? There is totally no reason for this to keep happening - the two things are not related

    I would guess that somebody, somewhere has done it previously! To help in the matter, High Level Kits do the Fly Shunter to allow one to motorise a van/tuck/whu http://173.254.28.51/~highlev3/chris/Pages/flyshunterpage.html

    The letter eg C is related to the length of the switches The number is the crossing divergence as a ratio IE 6 is a 1:6 ratio....

    Nice picture ( I didn't want to press like for some reason*) Somehow the relative condition of the Ital and the Astravan next to it sums up my feelings on both vehicles!! * I suffered having an Ital way back when!

    Hornby discounts

    LBRJ replied to Chrisr40's topic in Hornby

    Seems a bit like tying ones hand behind ones back when there is not yet a need to do that. I don't think that deep discounting is a good idea as a strategy, but to emphatically state you are not going to do it will certainly raise the alarm klaxon if and when it is done to ease the cash flow at some future point.

    You seem to have generally captured the feel of the place very well indeed!

      talking of which, I finished off

      Sat-turday's curry last night.

    That is more like it - though probably the gate is about 4ft 6" max in height The "braces" (for want of a better word) on the gate look to be 4" x 2" if the proportions are right, which would make the gate post about 12 x 8" It looks fit for the bonfire though, I cant imagine many railways would have accepted that even when it was new!
  24. LBRJ
    How cool is that !? Though I got a bit lost in a tunnel

    I am not sure that the use of green for uniforms would be from following Army practice - Most of the mid Victorian army worse red - Unless they were Sharpe's regiment; they did wear green
