Is it the Mk2 Bachmann coupling that is mostly used in the wagons NEM pocket ? the reason I am asking I changed over to kadee's and I think I have mk1 and mk2 couplings selling them with option to put back original couplings

Update Video to my layout says it all

The loop ends on both parts of the layout are now the best radius I get in the space.

I am going to redesign the the main line around the Peterborough Station, so I have a goods
line off the main line, just the same as the Chatham Station, which is changing name to Ipswich with Ipswich Dock

Still not going, got the green light but says the train is paused, I can change turnouts OK, nearly there.

Update to the layout, I have been busy doing a Xtrkcad plan of how the layout is at the moment, so I can ask some electrical questions later. Now that I have made the plan, I can see a few places I can change, especially inside the two dog-bone loops. I will make a track that will go to ether side o...

Thanks for the replies i have half the layout done now.

Are there any structures platforms buildings that you can add to the layout.

Thanks for the help on the program, I am getting on well with making a xtrak picture of my layout. I have another Q Its OK when I print the whole of the layout, but when I want a particular part of the layout, I am having problem trying to print the part I want, I been trying to change the scale in ...
