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

Building another O gauge micro layout and weathering stock

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. Phil -
Likewise.Sold,with a load of other 4mm stuff(including a lot of Palitoy locos that had little or no running),to fund a Winson 5"1400........... Still sitting under the kitchen table,80% finished - but oh,the problems.... Phil

Cheeky little thing!

Well,Snap!from earlier in the year! Phil (haven't got a clue why there are 2 images)

An interesting read - thanks for the info. Phil
-
Fair enough.I suppose the ventilator on the roof should have given it away.However as a postscript,I did deliver drainage there a couple of times during the building of the car park and station. Phil

I rather thought that large building was a cold store,similar to the one at Kennington,which was shunted daily(not Sat or Sun) by the train that went from Moreton Yard(Didcot) to Hinksey Yard (Oxford) via Abingdon(MG cars and Morells (or Morlands - it was a looong time ago!)Brewery) Phil
