Hello Pete, Some lovely work on the locos there, sorry to hear of the frustrations with the presflo wagons, it was something I was following with interest as I have been looking at these on the society pages with a view to having a go. Yes I agree, your locos should be in Mixed Traffic. Best wishes Eric

Thanks Grovenor, as with TT100 this has set me thinking.

Thanks TT100, excellent pictures and description. That has given me some food for thought.

Thanks for the info. Bob I had my suspicions about reliability from what I had read elsewhere. As I am only requiring one I may resort to scratchbuilding. Many years ago in RM there was an article by a modeller who had built a single arm signal with the bounce. I might dig the article out or experiment myself. Eric

Perhaps I should have titled this 'the art of compromise'. I am building a small light railway terminus 3mm scale and I will only require one home signal and I am wondering as a compromise which is a better option N or 00 gauge. Without any dimensions to hand I am thinking 00 will be the better choice? Obviously the attraction is to have a working signal. Any dimensions advice welcome Thanks.

TT100, Many thanks, exactly the info I needed. E.

Hello, As I put pencil to paper sketching out an idea for a BLT could someone give me the dimensions of the Triang Suburban Brake coach please, ie overall length and width. Many thanks Eric

Hi Steve, That does look very neat, so at the risk of stretching a point (no pun intended) is the basis of that commercial items or home made? Whichever way it works for me and my proposed track layout would be fairly simple so achievable for me. Thanks Eric

Thanks for the info and picture. Most helpful.

Hello, My first post on here having read through some excellent topics. I am in the process of planning a small branch line terminus, something very simple but would like to include a reasonable level of detail. Is point rodding (non functional) as per the Wills item available in scale or could one at a pinch get away with using the Wills item albeit overscale? I am thinking a ground frame would look best. I intend to base the model on NE Scotland circa late 1950s to 60s. Thanks E.
