Cheers Dan.

The flat part of the roof was made from plasticard the hard bit was bending some clear acrylic to form the roof windows. The train testing website has plenty of usefull reference pics.

Hi I scratchbuilt lab 6 using a mainline mk1 brake and hornby mk3 bogies. It originaly had a scratchbuilt pan on the roof but this was removed and fitted to another lab 6 that I built for a customer. http://www.westcoastminiatures.com/page53.html The 89 was also scratchbuilt http://www.westcoastmini...

Been a long time since I updated this thread. :roll: AC lines has been in storage for 12 months now and was due to be retired although I have just accepted an invitation to attend Jarrow show next year. The past year has seen a few changes layout wise with the scrapping of the heatherburn garden rai...

Yeh I just recently picked up a pair of lima hst power cars for £15 at a local model show. I also have half of the prototype hst that I use as push pull stock. Gives the riviot counters something to moan about !! Looking forward to letting my APT stretch its legs.

Thanks guys. My modelling time perod is british rail 80s-90s although I do run other stuff occasionaly.

My N gauge trumptonshire layout is no more. Now that it and Heatherburn are out of the way tonight I got to visulise the railway rooms available space. This has bought about a rethink with my plan as I quite like the open space in the middle. Heres the new plan... http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/...

Ok heres the master plan.. http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x216/87101/Westcoast/garage3.jpg The red lines are the top level, blue and green are the middle whilst yellow is the lower return loop. At the left we have Linslade tunnels as the secnic break moving on to a rebuilt trent valley junction ...

Latest evloution of the plan. The red sections are the top level with the terminus and loco shed.



The flyover will be recyled from Trent valley. Got to add the lower storage sidings yet and the return loop.

Tim you are a genius I was trying to come up with plan for the new layout and you have just given me a great idea. Now I have some pics of Tamworth somewhere......

Heres my plan so far. The four circles are 1st-4th radius set track for comparson.



Im looking at a 4 track main line loop with possably a second level above.

Potters and Trent valley still have one more show to do in a couple of weeks time. It will be a while before I dismantle these two as I want to get the garage sorted properly this time before I fill it with railway again.

Its not a pritty sight !!

Im realy struggeling at the moment to get a plan sorted for the new layout but flicking through the peco plans book I quite like this.. http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x216/87101/Westcoast/garagelayout1.jpg The size is the same as the space that I have so it gives me a good idea of what is possab...
