I wasnt sure because some look as if they may be medium radius ones. James Hi James, the points are Peco (mostly) large radius, modified to remove most of the mechanism, hth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIR DUBALOT Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Hi Beast Many thanks, had looked at this before, I wondered about tne track lengths and distances and what turnouts were used, I had a look at the site to see which show Widnes would be at next, do you possibly know please. Then I'll be able to come and see for myself, save all my annoying questions. Thanks very much for all your help. Willy.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted January 12, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 12, 2013 I've just found this photo of Widnes back in the days when it was intending to be a model of Widnes No.1 and it's surroundings, I thought I'd post it to show how our history rewrite (a term familiar to some) brought us a completely different layout !
