I think that's a brilliant idea! A brake van that actually brakes! Although I do agree with Peter about the possible effects of hitting the brakes at the end of a long train, surely the trains could be kept short and the braking kept subtle enough that this would not happen? In any case it's very cl...

It does help, thanks, Peter. Are you saying that you find the sunset valley sleepers are closer together than you would like? I'm not trying to adhere particularly to any scale in particular, but I do like the wide sleeper spacing of the 32mm track I have seen on this site and Youtube. It looks more...

Thanks Peter. Have you tried the sunset valley track? I'm confused about your comment about the flexitrack. Do you need a railbender to make this track curved? I only have experience with small scale flex track, which you can just bend around corners with your hands as it is quite springy. I assume ...

Question about rails
I have a question about track: I am thinking of buying some to run my roundhouse "Billy" on. I don't have a garden but I was thinking of acquiring enough track that I could at least run the engine back and forth outside on a nice day. I really prefer the look of 32mm track, however I have ...

Here is an uninteresting locomotive apparently
I thought some of you would like to see this locomotive. I gather that most here (including me) are working with British-looking engines, so this one will be a little different. I hope it's OK to post lots of pictures. A while ago, my brother sent me a card with a railway scene on it. It was a paint...
