just thought I'd ask in this area if anyone would be interested in doing T-Trak, it's an N gauge modular format popularised in Japan using Kato Unitrack. http://t-trak.org/index.html < this is the page to explain it in more depth

Here's some examples:

 

 

I've just started  a T-track  layout  just waiting on baseboards  to turn up 

Will keep a update on here.

Crawley Model Railway Society
 Annual Exhibition
Sat 18th - Sun 19th April  

We are sorry to announce  that this years show has been cancelled 

As you are all aware the recent events concerning the Coronavirus have affected all areas of public life.

This has now moved into the realms of large social gatherings and has prompted the committee to make the 

unanimous decision to cancel this year's Horsham show. 

We have considered all other alternatives however have been left with no other options.  

This decision has not been an easy one as we all know how much time, 

effort and pride goes into the organisation and execution of the exhibition. 

Whilst making this decision we have taken into account the health and safety of not only the general public, 

exhibitors, traders but our members and volunteers as well.

If we were to leave this decision any longer and wait for the official government announcement we would have

incurred costs that the club cannot afford to absorb. 

We also recognise that the attendance numbers will be dramatically reduced therefore we would be running 

the show at a loss.

Daz, as asked. Which colour are you specifically looking for? 

Action red is a nightmare to find apart from the pack, the only colours readily available in the UK is Soo red. (precursor to the current candy apple red) Humbrol 1321, and tuscan. which is Model Masters 28112. 

 

This chart is quite useful for modelling North American: http://www.microscale.com/ResourceCntr_Floquil.html

Thanks Chris

Thanks Chris,

I am looking to use the Hornby Maunsell p set 199 in a 1954/55ish era. I have made up set 27 in c&c but was looking to see whether set 199 was always in Green to use it realistically alongside my c&c set 27. I'm assuming then that set 199 may have gone straight from malachite to BR Green, or was it a set that was kept in revarnished malachite? I have also not been able to find a photo of set 199 in c&c in my limited book & DVD collection.

Regards

Lee

I know this is a big of old posting however I'm interested in set 25 being that I was a mix livery set do you know which coach was green and which one was c&c?

Daz

I would like to thank everyone who came to our show at the weekend and also the traders and exhibitors whi supported the show too i was great to see TWY here again as this is the reason i got into wagon photography
