Yes - I just thought that, if upscaled to O, it might fit your space

If I may I'll offer one that appeared in Carls Small Layout Scrapbook #59a as a possibility for your space - Maldon Market Hill - HERE’S A CRAMPED STATION WITH LOTS OF OPERATION Maldon Market Hill station is built in very cramped quarters behind Maldon High Streeet, between the shops and the industrial buildings whose shipments keep the road in the black. Andrew Smith, who built the line, says that the engine shed and maintenance works for loco and stock is farther along the line (offstage), towards the junction where the line to the Quay diverges to the River Blackwater. All of this occurs in East Essex, in England. Both goods (freight) and passenger trains call at the little station, and Andrew has provided some insight to those operations. Movements like these are typical of operating with two locomotives (a road engine and a station pilot) and explain why this type of two-switch track arrangement is a “tried and true” design. Goods trains (freight trains) consist of an 0-4-0 loco, two wagons or vans (freight cars), and a brake van (caboose). The station pilot is waiting in the bay platform when the train arrives at the main platform. ◾The pilot removes the brake van from the rear of the train and takes it to the bay platform. ◾The goods loco shoves the wagons into the industry yard. Any loaded wagons ready to ship are pulled out and shunted into the fiddle yard. ◾The goods loco then places the new wagons at the industry loading facility, returns to the fiddle yard for the outgoing wagons, and returns with them to the main platform road. ◾The pilot loco then removes the outgoing wagons from the loco and shunts them into the bay platform road, coupling to the brake van. ◾The pilot moves to the crane track. ◾The goods loco moves out, couples to the outgoing train, and leaves town. ◾The pilot returns to the bay road to await the next train. Passenger trains consist of a loco and two four-wheeled coaches. In this case, the pilot waits at the water crane as the passenger train pulls into the main platform road. ◾After passengers are offloaded, the pilot couples to the rear of the train and pulls the coaches into the industry track. ◾The road loco moves to the bay platform. ◾Pilot loco returns the coaches to the main platform and retires back to the water crane track. ◾Passenger loco returns to the main platform, couples to the coaches, and leaves town. ◾Station pilot returns to the bay platform, ready for the next train. Variations can be played with both goods and passenger consists. Two livestock vans can arrive on market day as a separate train, and must be shunted to the stock platform in the bay road. If the passenger loco is an 0-6-0, there won’t be room for the pilot to couple on from the crane road, so it will have to wait in the bay road and pull the coaches out to the fiddle yard to release the passenger loco. And so it goes, at a busy little station with minimal facilities! The OP also contains a couple of photos

I had this today from a friend - I know nothing about the truth or accuracy, but it may be of interest http://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2016/02/09/windows-10-data-tracking-spying-levels/?utm_campaign=yahootix&partner=yahootix New study reveals what Windows 10 is doing behind your back, and it's shocking...

If yee're no Scottish, yee're a pussie!

Yes - it certainly looks like PVA - If you aren't needing the roofs clear, it may be worth visiting a drapers shop, and getting some fine interfacing, then laying a suitably sized piece into the top of the first layer and then painting over it with the second layer, pushing it down into the first layer before it has set. It will resist any tendency to tear whilst being peeled off the moulding master

All is not as it seems - somewhere on youtube there is a "making of" video which shows how it was done See here http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=making+the+vw+trailer+assist+video&qpvt=making+the+vw+trailer+assist+video&view=detail&mid=863CF9BCFF08958B2580863CF9BCFF08958B2580&FORM=VRDGAR

For your ribbed siding, you may be able to adapt this method

If you haven't already found it yourself, you might find some interesting threads on here http://tws-rustbucket.com/board/1/vehicles

More probably hindering him! I'll be there until two-ish on Saturday

Ray - take care with the back, old son - the pain killers mask the pain, and it is easy to do something and make it worse - ask me how I know! I take it that you don't expect to be at Glasgow? Nice job on the layout

I'm glad that is not a directive - sounds distinctly un-appetizing!

Ask them what they understand the words "PROGRESSIVE" ...... & "DEGENERATIVE"..... to Mean? If needed take a dictionary

Glad we got it identified - those Scottish trucks get everywhere ! (tho' a couple of days too late for Burns Night)

I think you are right about the truck being a White - I bet those window pillars made life difficult ! I have a vague feeling that something similar was made in HO by Ulrich EDIT - A surprising number still available on Ebay.com if you type in HO scale Ulrich trucks

Can I offer you another one like this? I was RCO (Range Control Officer) at an Air Weapons Range in NE Scotland, and as You can imagine we used to get noise and low flying phone compaints from all over Scotland North of Glasgow. The phone rang one afternoon with a lady making what I thought was a low flying complaint from the Black Isle. Rather than go through the whole thing she told me that their son had been killed (passenger)in a car crash two days short of his 18th birthday and it had been his dearest wish to join the Royal Air Force. The funeral had been held that morning, and, just as the coffin was being lowered into the grave, A Tornado flew over at low level and turned, right overhead, dipping his wings, She was phoning -not to complain - but to say "Thank You" for the tribute. She knew it was a complete co-incidence, but felt that it was necessary to thank someone. - I had a bit of grit in my eye. Co-incidence is a very odd thing at times.

2 minutes ago Don't know if it is good or not- but it is not bad for here

Wot - "Free Kardashians"? - Oh Lord! Please NO!

JAMO - try joining the MTI forum http://forum.mtimag.co.uk/index.php - I'm the moderator - You will find a huge amount of photos of Benson, Arkansas on there, in the Layout Tours section there is a 22 page thread currently running for example

I know we have some Geetar Pickers on here - but how about this elderly gentleman - an awesome player https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CAuLeSmcR8

I note from a couple of pages back that both Pete (trisonic) and Ian (able)commented on Racoons, so thought I'd include these that arrived this morning http://www.youtube.com/embed/2a1QISYNGHs?rel=0

In Mexico City I had "Pollo Bollo" which is deep fried Chicken Balls and very good they were - but find them to be like rocking horse manure to obtain in UK - a lack of cockerels or maybe we export them all to Mexico!

Ah,Yes! The Patch! An excellent plan incorporating street-running and switching and concrete canyons - much fun and great for experienced modellers, but not one that I would choose for a beginner - although fine for inspiration

No problem Mick - everyone has to learn and asking questions is far and away the best way. Ian - thanks for posting the link - I have now added it in "Favorites", where it should have been. Jordan - You might be interested to know that Portway Terminal in HO, is leaning against the wall about 3 feet from my right shoulder, on two 66" x 8" boards - awaiting the spring warm up, for some backscene boards to be added. I'm still awaiting my Plymouth switcher.

Mick - if you want a concrete canyon - it might be worth a PM to Ian Holmes (post#469) - a good while back he did a rather nice design in one of his small layout blogs but I can't find it. His was, I think, based on a similar plan to John Allens Timesaver , with several short sidings. I had thoughts about doing it with see-thru' buildings on the front using Perspex( or similar) and car window-tint film to have them see-through but dark enough to indicate that they were there. I have a thought that your loop is very large for very small industrial sidings - I'd shorten the loop and lengthen the sidings - but rule one applies
