Wow Rich, That is some construction! To be honest it's not that dissimilar to a semi-welded crossing nose vee, just fabricated from multiple parts. It should work well. Have you considered though how you are going to keep the crossing nose firmly packed when there is such a big area of timber? It's ...

I fear the railway would have been long gone by the time the M1 carved it's way through the landscape in the mid sixties. I haven't actually pinned down the years of it's existance but it's likley to be somewhere around 1890 to 1950. When I planned the route it was done by working out levels and gra...

Well, there it is, the Soar Valley Light Railway is no more - before it even got going! No, I haven't given up the ghost, I'm still going to build my railway it just won't be the SVLR. Having progressed the back story to the stage of drawing the line out on a decent scale contoured map (thank you Go...

Hi Rich, I know just what you mean about railways without the trains - I feel exactly the same. Track is the primary infrastructure when there are no trains about and so it's appearance in model form is important when it comes to creating a convincing sense of realism. Almost all companies railway t...

Andy, They are beautiful! You've made a lovely job of them. I'm definitely going to have a bash at some of those myself. I've always intended to and one of the things I've been contemplating is how to fit chopper couplings, which I also really like and intend to use as standard. How did you fit them...

Hi Guys, I knew if I made a bold statement it would produce some comment! :D Peter, Your system is very similar to the compensation system used in scalefour. I'm sure it minimises the number of derailments on your line. I shall investigate something similar myself when I get round to rolling stock c...
