    I'm sometimes amased at how railway enthusiasts can become experts in real railway design!

      Don't forget real rails are four feet eight and a half inches apart

      As the photographer made any comment.?

       

    4. St. Simon

      St. Simon

      I don't mind at all, if Andy agrees to the photograph being used, then fine, although it's somewhat ironic as all the paint used in the photo is Revell Aqua Colour!

    4. St. Simon

      St. Simon

      I'm not sure how Gloucester is going as its a works project not of my schemes project, but you'll be glad to know the Cornwall Resig is going nicely!

    Finally updated the Norwood Road thread!

  16. St. Simon

    For those following the progress of Norwood Road, I really apologise for the lack of updates, but tomorrow evening there will be one!

  17. St. Simon

    Just found the Signalling Diagram for West Croydon, it looks vaguely similar!

    1. beast66606

      beast66606

      Similar to where ? West Croydon ? :P

    2. St. Simon

      St. Simon

      Well, considering the area, what's left on the ground might be different to what's meant to be there! In fact, I meant my layout signalling looks vaguely similar to the real thing!

  18. St. Simon

    Going to spend the first day of my leave.....Volunteering on the S&T department on the Mid Hants, talk about a Bus mans Holiday!

    Working Constantly in spare time to make up for Swindon College Incompetence!

    1. Captain Kernow

      Captain Kernow

      So are we saying that there's incompetence in Swindon?!...

    2. St. Simon

      St. Simon

      No, I think the College houses most of the incompetence in Swindon!

  24. St. Simon

      RJS1977

      Come along to the MERG Thames Valley meeting some time and tell us about it!

       

    4. St. Simon

      St. Simon

      Jim, is it called something else now?

       

      Horsetan, can do, however, at the moment Route Indicators are all way too big and actually anything like the prototype.

       

      RJS1977, I would like to, but I have no way of testing it just yet, its for a layout which may not be built for years!
