Possibly nearer, rather than nearly.

Far too quick...

I can count up to 11...

That's nothing - I used to live in Rhyl... (shudders)

I think strategy is a strong concept for what I'm attempting. I'm intending to use the standard Bachmann 009 couplings, although these do seem to be variable in operation, even between what should be compatible wagons. Uncoupling will be via a servo-operated raising plate between the rails, just enough to lift the side arms of the loop off the upstanding pin. Coupling will be 'push 'em together', but I'm considering whether some wagons will need additional weight, so they join, instead of skittering off along the track.

Will that be a Ladybird book ?

All the Modulus kit is now installed, just needs some of the servo angle values tweaked and correct orientation of the frog relay switching. Next will be testing, followed by uncouplers, followed by ballasting. Meanwhile progress is being made on the 3rd section of the warehouse. Scenically I need a goods shed of some sort, plus finish the station building & platform, plus low relief cottages for the backscene.

Are these any use? https://www.scalemodelscenery.co.uk/ax409-oo-rusty-exhaust-pipes-x28pack-of-5x29---oo4mm176-13364-p.asp Also here:

There are other sorts of modellers ???

Probably run-off tracks for errant wagons, similar to over-grown catch points.

The thing is with 7mm, is you need to add more detail, so you end up with the same issue of eyes not working well enough to see the bits you need to add.

I used Humbrol Dark Green Matt Acrylic spray, but I've run out!

Starting to get the warehouse looking like I want.

009 is also 4mm scale 😉

No, no I mustn't.... But it's tempting..... No, I'm a good dog... Mostly...

I thought that was lager...

Yep, an absolute dream....

@ScaleModelScenery KX091 Ultra Thin Warehouse I have some alterations to make yet, not least being adding a greater depth to the footprint, and fall plates outside the upper doors.

Now you've glued the roof on, how do you add the weight inside ?

Mevagissey.

Exactly those bits, apologies for making life harder...

All excellent stuff Rob, but can I make an observation? You have coloured the outer check rails on the points, but not the wing rails next to the frog. This might be due to track cleaning activities, of course.

I zoomed in. Looks perfect. Stop fretting :)
