RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted April 1, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) Welcome to a start of my new layout project in 7mm based on a might of been after leaving Bodmin NORTH [Pencarrow] in North Cornwall. My good friend Chris [Twomanyspams] and I plan to exhibit the two layouts as one eventually with mine replacing his fiddle yard at the right hand end. I plan to use a Tim Horn baseboard and have shunting of the new stock releases from Lionheart and Minerva plus the stock from Pencarrow including Chris's WEP kit built clay wagons.. I have an idea for a passing flair loop. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/69736-pencarrow-bridge-boards-completed-pg59-post-1465/?p=989455 More to follow...

RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted April 1, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 1, 2018 Look forward to seeing it progress, but I really don’t need to see more 7mm temptation! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted April 1, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) Rob, If you keep the fiddle yard as is, but also add 4mm track, you could build your section in 4mm rather than 7mm, but just have it further away from the viewers at the exhibitions. Your train could then leave Polfairol and a matching train then enter Pencarrow. If you add the flair loop in front of the FY, it would have to change gradually from 4mm to 7mm, which would be impressive.

Clearwater Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Excellent stuff. Will follow with interest. Isn’t Polfairol where you catch the ferry to the beautiful island of San Serriffe? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had some old wagons in my first trainset which were variable gauge - the wheels used to slip on the axles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
