  1. Hi I am building a oo gauge inglenook using two electrfrog points . Can I just use two wires at the toe of the first set of points or do I need to add insulators and additional track feeds? Thanks
  2. Would anyone know where I could purchase a one piece oo gauge sky blue backscene 52” long x 11” high ? thanks Johna
  3. Looking for some advice please. I have a couple of yards of Peco n gauge code 80 flexi track that I would like to use to create a pizza layout using a 8" radius What's the best method to bend the track to ensure that i can get a round circle? I have in the past never been able to make a satisfactory circle. Hopefully some one can advise please. Thanks Johna
  4. Folks I want to clad a Petite properties building in brick embossed plastikard but am unsure the method to use for doing the sides. Do I cut out 3 pieces and just butt them together or is if possible to bend the plastikard around the edge of the building without o damaging the sheet and brickwork? Also when cutting out the windows and doors to get a straight edge is it best practice to cut them from the back of the plastikard or vice versa? Thanks
  5. I have a n gauge electrofrog point but it doesn't have the thin wire for powering the frog to a microswitch. Is it possible to add the wire and where is the best place to solder it too.? Thanks Johna

  11. Hi Would 6mm plywood be too thin for making a oo gauge baseboard.? I haven't been able to get out due to Covid-19
