Re: Advice/commentary sought on a large terminus

I am beginning to wonder if the addition of chimney pots might be effective.

Always something new going on at Crown Street. As always, magnificent views.

That is charming. I will be curious if the DCC can take its awkward running.

Re: The BNR (another way)

Fascinating and charming. What is that DMU unit, with the silver warning bell up front?

In North America, passenger modeling is often, as not, an afterthought. In the UK it is trademark.

Re: Advice/commentary sought on a large terminus

It was actually E2E that mentioned the building being at the end of the platforms, I just sketched it out. Glad we could be of help, it's what makes this forum such a good place to be. To answer your question, gammon, jacket potato with cheese and peas. Dave Oh, that sounds good! :) That Hornby Ter...

Re: Advice/commentary sought on a large terminus

Wow, this I did not expect, having the tracks running perpendicular to the building. That really has a whole other visual impact. Thank you for the input, and I am probably going with that method, as it is so unexpected.

What did you have for dinner, BTW? :)

Re: Advice/commentary sought on a large terminus

1407. Wow. If the walls could speak, what stories would they tell??? A good crop? A bad harvest. Men going off to war? Returning from war. Taxes and other vexations. Loves lost and won? A warm hearth on a damp night? A warm spring breeze flowing through open windows. Not to change a most interesting...

Re: Advice/commentary sought on a large terminus

Thank you so much. I had not a clue that Peco made anything of this sort, and this has a much finer, better looking appearance than the Hornby offering. Thank you, also, for reminding me about Elaine's Trains, which is one of the best places to find the unique and unusual under one roof. Could you e...

Re: Peco launching 1:120 TT

I always like TT for that size vs. space ratio, as mentioned, above. Too late for this old dog to learn that new trick. TT chaps are nothing if not skilled for creating so much of their own material. It will be interesting to see if TT enjoys a renaissance.

Advice/commentary sought on a large terminus

So, there is this big patch on one of the new additions to Henley, photographed below. I'd like to drop in perhaps three stub end tracks where to park passenger trains, with the approach being on the left hand view of the baseboard. The left facing #4 turnout would drop nicely into the straight sect...
