Hi Craig - there is a circuit diagram and assembly description here http://www.ddg69.demon.co.uk/mr/mr-CDU.html.

I too have lurked in awe on this thread. I remember seeing Dons Miniature New Street in the Railway Modeller back in the 1980s(? I think I still have the copy) and thinking how epic that layout was, but it was just 00, and when I saw that you were building it in P4 I could not believe it. Superb lay...

Hi Steve and thanks once again for the kind comments. As far as I am aware the sigalling would just about meet the requirements of the prototype railway, there are probably one or two areas where a professional signalman would take issue with the position of the signals. Several of the signals pre-d...

Hi everyone, just a couple of totally gratuitous photographs after building a couple more signals for Northbridge. Drivers eye view of the platform end signals http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8442/7993045859_71da690eb3_c.jpg layout 152 by d9009alycidon , on Flickr New signalbox in place, retaining wal...

I make mine using dressmakers pins and telephone wire, push the pins into the base and solder the wire to the pin heads, it is not as hard as you think. Couple of examples showing the stair handles up to the signalbox at Northbridge andRound the Turntable at Gateside... http://farm9.staticflickr.com...

This maybe an interest to Tim and also many other users. I was made aware of this site this week and quite a find it is.

You could do something like this Scottish Prototype, if you want to try let me by shares in Evergreen or Slaters first, as you will need a ton of Plastic Strip!!! http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y235/Section1/swiki/b1/benniepost2.jpg Personally I wil stick to modelling the N2 and train below :D Jim

Really like this layout, cracking blend of industrial and rural scenery which is often difficult to achieve.

Do you really need cordless? There is a mini-drill set on Ebay at £10.49. Cheapest Cordless is £27.99 (plus £5 postage)

Add a Hurst Models LDP010 HST Driving Van Trailer (DVT) Buffer Beam Conversion Kit and you would have a pretty unique loco to run on a layout.

Hi Neil - Impressive stuff there!! You might however, in the interests of avoiding damage to the more delicate parts of your models, want to review some of the clearances between the tracks. I see some areas where the prototype "6ft" (nominally 2" for straight and a bit larger for tig...

What is the fascination the computer manufacturers have with fruit?? We have had Apples, Blackberries, and now Rasberries, no doubt all connected by the Orange network, one day it is all going to go Pear shape!!!

P.S. there is only one PI..... Magnum PI!!!

Jim

Still basically ugly!!, Looks as though someone has taken a class 67 and morphed it with a class 70!

Jim

Superb work there, lovely detail!! The Scalescenes range has been one of the best additions to the modellers arsenal for a long long time, but it takes a good modeller to get the best out of them, kep up the good work.

Hi Guys - thanks for the kind comments, but that it one box that is statying put!! Here is something that I can share with everyone. I made up some 1960s style flurescent station platform lights using leftover scraps from the signalbox build. Here is how I did it. First, take some scrap lengths of r...
