Hi All

It's a simple as I have never got round to fitting them yet.

For the cassettes I been considering a solution which involves a micro switch and a relay which could be powered via a rectifier bridge, from the DCC Bus. BUT I might abandon this method of cassette construction because of it's high cost! Yet to be decided, watch this space!

Hi all

I have to have wider flangways than shown in the standards in the 2mm Handbook because of the sharp curves on my tram layout. This is a lesson I learn from examining and talking to the owner of 'The Broadway layout' Alan Lawrence.

Hi

More photographs will follow. This is the first time I have blogged and I am still learning.

Hi Yes the curves are very tight, 78mm radius to be exact, BUT the prototype only used very short wheelbase locomotives and 10' wagons and two home brew coaches for quarry workers on 12' wagon chassis.

In fact the 78mm is larger than the most severe curve on the prototype scaled to 2mm scale! This radius scaled would be 54mm radius!

How do you include pictures within your blog post?

Hi

Preumably the sections of the layout can be stored on a shelf when not assembled into the complete layout?

Your rotary dryer looks like a pepper container, things are obviously hotting up!

I one of those people who has got off a Liskard to Looe train at Coombe Junction, just becase it is there! In the current timetable only two trains Monday to Saturday call at Coombe Junction and non on Sundays.

The other trains stop just short of the platform, and the gaurd walks to the ground frame, unlocks the facing point lock, changes the point and then relocks the facing point lock and then returns to the train.

The ground frame is unlocked using an annets key, which is attatched to the Liskard to Looe single line staff. The section from Liskard to Coombe Junction is operated in such a way as to allow a train to be locked into Moorshead yard, and the section from Coombe Junction is operated under One Engine in Steam, regulations.
