Yes I see what you mean. Thanks

Wow , that’s a superb bit of work you have done.
All the parts detailed/listed, I’m impressed. I understand re moving the crossover now.
Regards John

I’m unsure what you mean by set the crossover?.
Thanks

Hi
many thanks for your informative response, very helpful. I had thought the incline would possibly be an issue, I think it is around 3% ?.
I do like the layout but there is little point in building in running problems. Back to the drawing board it seems.

Hello all,
I hope this doesn’t come across as being too hopeless!!. Can anyone help me compile a list of all turnouts and flexi track lengths I would require for this layout please.
I thought I’d use peco code 80 or 50 flexi track ?.
Yellow indicates incline.
Many thanks

Great advice, thank you.

Many thanks for all of your comments / advice, it’s much appreciated.
It’s as I thought and not really a product for us railway modellers.
Cheers

I’m wondering if this wire glue would be an alternative to soldering droppers to track, has anyone used it ?.

I’ll give the hot soapy water a go . Too expensive to discard used track and points.
Thanks

I’m going to be lifting some oo track / points which has been ballasted. The ballast was fixed with an ipa / water mix and while it’s been very easy to damp the track / ballast and lift it , it’s proving quit difficult to remove the residual PVA to get the track fully cleaned and ready to re use. Do...

Good observations. I’ll have a play around with the free stuff then decide on the paid version, but I tend to agree now it’s not a big cost in the grand scheme of things.

Good idea Richard.

I wouldn’t know where to start building track. Yes it looks like it will have to be a layout with elements of the old Forfar station, that’ll still be quite a challenge I’m sure. Might invest in anyrail.

Many thanks to you all for your comments and observations, all very relevant and welcome.
Cheers

Thanks for that , certainly food for thought. Looks like adapting while trying to keep the feel of the plan is the only way possible in the space available.
