    Sorry if I have missed this Sharp Stewart tanks?

    I don’t recall seeing any trains in the harbour with anyone walking in front. One other thing, the original line to the harbour ran along a public street and pre dated the tramway act by decades so unskirted pugs shared the street with all manner of horse drawn traffic and passers by.

    This may be if interest, found when looking for something completely different on Google Dundee port authority regulations from 1984. Includes a section on page 13 about running trains in the docks. I suspect the content has not changed a lot from previous iterations. https://www.forthports.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Dundee-Port-Authority-Byelaws-1984.pdf

    Chris will do these in 4 mm too.

    Was there only ever the one of this type?
  6. Asterix2012
    Walsworth models are apparently working on one I like them too

    The NB used a system of train control similar to the Midland The letters were power classes hence both the J82 and D51 above were class R

    Do you still have a track plan? Looks like your original has disappeared.

    Might be a horses for courses thing, they may have alloys which for their purposes is the good stuff and the alloy used for etching for our purposes is the good stuff for that purpose Taken to extremes there are dozens of steel alloys between cast iron and wrought iron all with their own strengths and weaknesses for particular purposes.

    I suspect the jewellery makers are using a different alloy of NS to that being used for etching

    Did any of these get sold on to industry?

    Tandem 3 way points were not uncommon, I believe the symmetrical ones were very unusual. Of course practice would vary between companies particularly pre grouping.

    Should always read before posting dang it

    @Wayne Kinney are you planning a 3 way of some sort?

    I have read elsewhere that with condensing tanks the water could reach high temperatures in the tanks so possibly that would be a safety measure?

    It would be interesting to see a list of which components you used and from what sources when you are finished

    Horses suffer from stress when transported long distances, the LNER changed to a policy of sourcing them from local sales to minimise stress which led to illness. Might partially explain why there was not a lot of long distance transport

    The planks on either side of the end door are split, not sure if that is accident damage or wear and tear.

    Do you have an image you can share? Might help with visualisation

    Hi Andy I agree with your choice, also because choosing an I or K would impact on a small kit manufacturer. perhaps a four coupled type would be a reasonable follow on, none of which are available in kit form Or something from one of the other builders such as Black Hawthorn or Hudswell Clarke Neilson standard 0-4-0ST is another one that was widespread, adopted by both the North British and Caledonian railways

    Including CocaCola?

    Railroad version?

    The GCR London extension was opened in 1897 and the Berne gauge was agreed in 1912 so it’s pretty safe to assume the line was not built to that standard
  25. Asterix2012
    Iraq had meter gauge And Turkey used standard gauge (and Stanier 8f from the WD)
