New Railway Modellers Forums

I have seen that used before but I would probably prefer to go with wood, something like 9mm ply and some 2x1 bracing. I've spent some time fiddling with plans and while I could get a decent fiddle yard at the top, it would need lots of complicated kickback arrangements to get any stock to the sceni...

That looks like the Royal Mail 128 - I had the blue one but sold it a while back, a superb running model. Can't wait to get a few for my new layout..

There is a wall at the left side, the door needs to open on the right end, so in theory I could use a cassette to load on a small train when the door is closed. I did want to keep it quite simple, however even though I find 6ft is quite a big space, I'm used to N not OO so it's not really possible t...

That was my main concern. It is actually 6' 6'' and there is absolutely zero room for extension. I'm not allowed the other spare room that would give me 10ft plus..

Cheers

I wont put up a photo of mine then! I wish I could do it like this. Such an amazing amount of space

I trust Flashbang's advice with electrics, having hung around here quite a long time I know he knows what he's on about.
