241. Irish 3 Ft railways
... build Killybeg's and we took the drawing from Patterson Book as a basis for our proposed layout, sadly due to my changing of work I could not get to the group as often as I would have liked, so it got incorporated in to another members layout. There are a number of good books which might help you, if you don't already have them. email me on the 3ft group so I can pick up an email address for you as I cant PM you on here. posted: 20 Jan 2016 20:07 from: Martin Wynne Lynbarn wrote: email me on the 3ft group so I can pick up an email address for you as I can't PM you on here.

... there is a shot on page 10 of that GWRJ issue of the post broad gauge line that suggests that the leads for the platform, the bay and the goods shed are a little closer together than the 1908 OS would suggest, being a very interesting curved tandem. The 1877 OS suggests that the platform bay lead is closer to the loop lead on the viaduct at this time. A good photo of that would be a corker. Enjoy the fruits of the research... Matt M. posted: 8 Apr 2015 07:15 from: Martin Wynne Hi Matt, OS Maps in the UK are out of copyright 50 years after publication. See: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Out-of-copyright_maps Which means we are currently up to 1964. There are many web sites taking advantage of this, see for example: http://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/maps/ http://wtp2.appspot.com/wheresthepath.htm http://maps.nls.uk/about.html That doesn't necessarily mean you can use someone else's scan file without their permission ...

244. Timber Staining
... for the replies too. Rob posted: 24 Mar 2015 00:55 from: Nigel Brown Here's a snap I took some time ago, after most of the track was laid and ballasted but very little else done. 3mm/ft 14.2mm gauge finescale. Plastruct sleepers, plastic chairs from Ian Osborne, code 60 BH rail, blended Woodland Scenics ballast, sleepers and rail painted with acrylic blends.

Very nice the track looks too. It is good to see some work in a scale/gauge not seen too often. Rob posted: 26 Mar 2015 14:28 from: madscientist Nice track work. Personally, I find pre-colouring sleepers somewhat fake and the prototype never had the consistency of colour. I'm build test sections at the moment and I think on balance spraying afterwards and then weathering is best. I always find( certainly on ...
245. Broad gauge oddity!
... topic: 3801 Broad gauge oddity! posted: 23 Oct 2020 07:58 from: Phil O Hi All I have just come across this photo of Plymouth Millbay in broad gauge days, when I first spotted it I thought it was a tandem with a single slip, but closer inspection revealed it to be a standard turnout with a single slip. I still don't fancy building it, a couple of those 'V's look a bit small, even at full size. http://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/854276623049612105/?nic_v2=1a13uHclb Cheers Phil posted: 23 Oct 2020 08:26 from: Dave Summers Here's a link without the need to use Pinterest http://www.britishempire.co.uk/article/plymouth/millbaystation.htm Dave Parts of Templot Club may not function unless you enable JavaScript (also called Active Scripting) in your browser.

... state. We stayed in a B&B in Loch Carron. Every morning you could hear the 24s shunting the goods sidings across the loch. I've tried to pin-point where the sidings were; they could have been at Strome but I had a feeling they were higher up the loch. Before BR ditched general freight the line had quite extensive freight traffic and the sidings carried overflow from the limited storage facilities at Kyle. Nigel Last edited on 1 Nov 2020 01:41 by Nigel Brown posted: 1 Nov 2020 07:17 from: Julian Roberts Interesting to know that even then there was still extensive freight traffic. The limitation of the layout I'm making (which will be dated early BR) is that most of the shunting will be offstage. Some shunting did come up to the engine shed area, and I'll have to invent additional moves, and reasons to use the siding by the shed. Long way to go still... posted: 1 Nov 2020 09:26 from: wcampbell23 Julian Roberts wrote: Hi Alan, ...
... a series of small layouts( which I hope I can fit into a busy life) so I am not going to be actually using some of the gauge/rail/sleeper combinations for a while yet. If I may come back to you at some point on this I may appreciate it. So do the DCC gauges have rail grooves that won't then fit onto C&L bullhead rail if they are made for the underscale width of the flat bottom rails? Regards and thanks again.

For UK track there shouldn't be a need for two types though as BH and FB 'scale' rail should both have the same head width.

248. Y-turnouts again
... lot by people working on narrow gauge layouts I suspect. Hi Rob, Maybe, but it's 10 times easier to use an ordinary handed contraflexure turnout as a Y, which has been available since the beginning of time. There is a new function for that: 2_201356_080000000.png which can be applied to any template, and will adjust the curving so that the turnout radius matches the curving radius. Much quicker than doing it manually while watching the info going to and fro. cheers, Martin. posted: 20 Nov 2020 19:07 from: Rob Manchester Martin, Agreed.

Have I done this the correct way or do you have much better way of achieving a smooth transition?

Cheers Phil. posted: 29 Nov 2020 12:47 from: Tony W Hi Phil. As far as I am aware, the track layout was simplified to avoid conflicting movements as part of the London Bridge remodeling.

Usually on the OS 25" maps you can at least rely on the position of the switch toe, so I started from there. And usually during a renewal it would be retained, to avoid modifying the rodding runs. A C-9 seemed a likely contender, ...

257. Cutting Rail joints
... page in the Walsh's catalogue to which Howard's link takes you shows a TS121 which appears identical to my Eclipse PS51 and costs only £5.80! This can't be much more than what I paid for the Eclipse between 30 and 40 years ago and I've always found it a pleasure to use- that style of handle sits very comfortably in my hand. I have always mounted my blades to cut on the push rather than the pull stroke. Is that wrong? Seems to work for me. posted: 23 Nov 2014 10:07 from: alan@york Pulling is better, and gives a more even cut than cutting on the push; at least for wood.
