The whole topic is worth a read. One thing to note about the copperclad supplied with the etchings- it needs trimmed to width. I have suggested in the past to C+ L that more information and illustrations are needed on their web site for this very reason.

... topic: 1456 Some Interesting Ideas for Smaller Layouts posted: 16 Apr 2011 14:41 from: BeamEnds I often see layouts that have out of necessity some rather implausible formations (mine incuded!), but here are some ones that offer good operating potential and interest and are real- down to the geography of the line I suppose. Particularly Froghall.

... topic: 1580 Another Interesting Small Layout Idea posted: 29 Jul 2011 19:09 from: BeamEnds Here's another in my (very) occasional series of interesting/different small layout ideas. Definately different, and ideal for those who fancy a mixed standard and narrow gauge layout. I don't know if the track layout is unique, but loading standard gauge wagons onto narrow gauge wagons in the UK is I believe, and would be interesting to model. It also has endless possibilities for tripping up the nit-pickers at exhibitions! posted: 29 Jul 2011 20:08 from: Martin Wynne Hi Richard, Watch the transporter wagons being loaded: regards, Martin. posted: 29 Jul 2011 20:26 from: BeamEnds Wow! Thanks Martin. A lot of the line is a road now, including the tunnel, its weird to recognise a few locations from the film. Looks like someone needed Templot at 3:41...

No one seem to keep any stock!

Cheers Richard posted: 28 May 2012 17:17 from: Ken M-T Hi Richard, Is Perranwell what you're looking for, I've just discovered this http://www.cornwallrailwaysociety.org.uk/cornwall-railway-gallery-branches-west.html and scroll through. There are loads of Cornish pics I've never seen before and I'm going to spend some time rooting through them. Ken posted: 28 May 2012 17:49 from: Stephen Freeman Hi, That's interesting- I started a P4 layout based on Perranwell some years ago, but it's never got beyond the track and ballast stage- perhaps one day- in the meantime I'll look out the book with the photos and track plan if anyone is interested. posted: 28 May 2012 19:15 from: JFS Richard, I think such things were exceedingly rare and Perranwell has been modelled ...

I'm after some drawings of BR(WR) semaphore signals and dummies so I can produce models for Google Sketchup (and the sketchboard too, if how to show them can be agreed)- not all of them of course, just some typical ones.

... I have recently purchased 8'6" scale ply sleepers and the packs include a proportion of 12" timbers, as well as the usual 10" sleepers, for use as end timbers. I would be grateful for any information about the use of differently sized sleepers/timbers at track joints. My own project is based on an ex-Caledonian line in the early 1950s and so any responses directly relating to Caley practice would be helpful. Thanks in anticipation.

31. Point templates
... I would not start on partial templates until you have mastered the more basic elements of Templot, have you worked through the various tutorials? because with this you won't be able to run before you can walk. Cheers Phil posted: 9 Oct 2010 10:19 from: Nigel Osborne Thankyou for the reply the version I am using is v:0.91.c.The reason I would like to construct a template for these points is that they save space which I have little of.

Regards, Rodney Hills posted: 16 Apr 2008 06:53 from: BeamEnds Er, points to protect a foul move have always been trap points (they were certainly referred to as such in the Rule Book, Sectional Appendicies etc during my time on BR 1979- 1983), points to catch runaways on a running line always approrpately named catch points. As our instructor explained, "Trap points trap you in, catch points catch you out" (the catch points bit being a reference to single line working). It could also be argued that catch points are, be definition, un ...

... topic: 977 0-SF Track Gauges posted: 21 Nov 2009 17:10 from: BeamEnds It's been a while.... after a year and more that has suffered from the old Chinese curse "may you live in interesting times" the light at the end of the tunnel has finally stopped receding and I might actually get round to making some track. I tried to get some of these made (a long time ago!), but the bod who was going to do it has expired. Are there any available yet, or is going back to 0-FS going to be easier?

39. Route control
... instructions you get in microprocessors. My preference would be to look for a system which allowed you to program in a PC or Mac and have a suitable interface between the computer and the track elements. You might also find that you require a more sophisticated object oriented language rather than Basic to let you program the job more easily. And I would suggest that a small footprint PC with a flat screen monitor might be a bit smaller than your multiple biscuit tins.
