what about this with a working pantograph!!

and you would think that Hornby would know what they were on about!!

I use the Ikea Expedit Bookcase, with Trays I bought at Poynton Garden centre

with small wooden runners, works a treat for home, not very portable tho

Overpriced!

Well it is in Germany, but only posts to UK !

I will be about 1/4 mile from the Depot at Lowton if it arrives, Time will tell, but Interchange station very very unlikely 

Not the best Artists impression I have ever seen, btw the A580 at that point is on an embankment not a Concrete viaduct, and no OHLE either!!

How about this for a plan, sounds a bit optimistic to me , but an Idea for a "could have been" layout?

10/10 for trying tho

There is a Tope near Springs Branch Junction just on the line to St Helens, line disconnected has been therre 10 years that i Know of

I presume the photos on the Deacon Nook thread are of the card sheets which do look good. Not sure if they are different to the ones I had which looked very orange in colour. I don't suppose you have any 'before' shots, i.e. with the slabs?

Yes they are of the card sheets, (M0055)

I think its the size of the 'gap' between the slabs, I've used them before and just didn't get on with them.

 

The sheets are just easier to work with.

 

I agree with the areas of tarmac or concrete perhaps where lamp posts or cabinets will be situated on the platform surface.

I tried the Slabs on my platform but changed to the card sheets for the same reasons above, the gaps are a serious H&S issue in 4mm!!!

Bin Select, is my advice binned my years ago never looked back, Awful thing 

I think the Larger ones look better

I have been looking at your Kadee fitting, can you show how they are fitted? and how does the greater distance between the coupling and magnet change things? Thanks Phil

Because of a Local Myth? 47555 was so common that it was belived there were 2 of it

I was looking forward to seeing this layout at L&YDCC Rawtenstall and it didn't disappoint, Fantastic. Nice to chat to you as well. Keep up the good work, Phil

Hi Pete, I have decided to go with kadee couplings and am wondering how you have gone about fitting the couplings through 3 peice Ploughs? just been looking throug the topic and there is a pic of your 25 but can't make out how it is done? Thanks in advance Phil

Looking great. I love the attention to detail keep up the good work

Looking great, nice use of space, will be watching this layout
