Nothing wrong with facing points on a main line,that's what facing point locks are for. Phil

I have 0,5" and have access to 12" to the foot(steam and diesel).Guess that's the best of all worlds,But 0 is cheaper than the rest.Don't mess around,go for it. Phil

Wow! Loads of goodies there Ade. Phil

If not a Roundy,then maybe an "L" or a "U".If you used the diagonal you could get 10.8ft.Do what I did,draw out your desired boards on the floor,then put your track out on them,see how it goes.I used chalk on the patio............ Phil

All done. Phil

Apologies for multiplicity of images,why this has happened,I know not. Phil

For those who may be interested(and the last bit of info I have) I present "The Netherseal Colliery Branch,in all it's glory" Phil

Netherseal Colliery - closed 1947.Acces line used for wagon storage until mid 60's.Was home to "Trojan",now at Didcot.Site is now completely cleared,nothing left except the brick built reservoir(for fire fighting?),and parts of the trackbed.

Would it be,because it is a Road Van,and carries frieght as well? Phil

Love the texture of the rust. Phil

B for me,looks a little more balanced. Phil

That's a Proper Job,that is. Phil

Perhaps you could add a couple of crowbars and a jackor two to the mix?That's what we take out when we do some PW work at Chasewater. Phil

Don't worry about it,Sir Douglas,it all sort of follows on,and is keeping me interested,I'm sure others here will agree. Phil

I used to go to gravel pits as part of my job as a hiab driver,and some of those rotating screens used to run on tyres,and those never seemed to wear out.In fact,I suspect that they used to deteriorate ,the sidewalls used to crack due to uv light,faster than they wore out.The tread would still be perfect.
