Hi Martin,

Now I am waiting to see some brave soul try to put that into TEMPLOT.

..... and I am not volunteering!

Paul,

That is fantastic. You certainly have more patience than I do, and a better grasp of TEMPLOT.

Hi Martin & Glen

Thanks - it was just a 15 minute quickie.  There's an awful lot of K and V crossings still to go in, which I won't be doing and I won't be building it!

My theory is that the original photo might be somewhere in India, with metre, standard and 5'6" gauges.  The 5' theory as suggested on the-gauge.net doesn't fit, and the broad gauge rail looks further away from the standard gauge rail than 5'3" would be, hence 5'6".  India has the three gauges in my box file, but I have no idea of they ever all met!  I also reckon that the broad gauge would slew back to its original position once it's passed the metre gauge turnouts.

Cheers

     Here is a chance for someone to get some brownie points on the "the-gauge.net/forum

Courtesy of a contact in the Grumpy Group I am informed that the complex of turnouots is at:

US of A ... Cincinatti, Georgetown and Portsmouth, to be precise.  See:

those of you who might want to model such a thing, see:

  So someone has already done it!! Wow. Spectacular.

Hi Roger,

That's one of Mike Sharman's amazing layouts. While building all that in the 1970s, Mike was also a significant model trader, supplying a large range of locomotive wheels and a range of white-metal layout accessories. Of course, there were more than 7 days in a week in those days. :)

Some pictures of his latest layout are at:

Click the pictures for a better view. Prepare to be amazed.

regards,

Martin.
