Whilst this is not Ireland it seems to capture the atmosphere of the "torfbahn" very well and you will see a lot of the same quirky operating practices such as drivers jumping off the train to do somthing as its going along or even long double headed trains that are being controlled by a single driver who is continually jumping from cab to cab to adjust throttles in order to keep the locos pulling together! When railway operations ceased at rathowen 3 out of the 5 remaining locos were made by diema who feature very heavily in my plans! -
did not expect to update so soon, but there has been a development! Sent 3d files off to my library at around 10 am and was told it would be a 2-3 day wait for the bits to come back. I was pleasantly surprised to get an email to come and pick them up at half 4! The schwellenband design did not work well at all for me, the enlarged rail chairs were too flimsy and broke off in my pocket as i was walking around. the tim1mw however was a different story. the tim1mw however was a different story. half of the sleepers were not attatched and this will have to be fixed in the next revisions, I only got track panel that was 3 sleepers long! I was under the impression that code 75 meant code 75 and scale would play no part in the rail profile. I was wrong about this and all of the H0/00 code 75 that I do have is actually way too big. so I picked up a random piece of straight n gauge track, removed the rails, offered it up and fit snugly into the chairs! perhaps this was a measurement fluke, but it has proven to me that this track system works and will be workable going forward, which is great because there are 3d. printable points as well since i cant use the code 75 rail I have now I will order the proper z scale rail which is designed to work with this system and other h0f systems for interconnect ability. 600mm x 6 comes to a grand total of 15 euro which beats any other option by multiples!

What would the side bar be used for? Other carriage keys I have seen only had the end rectangular peg. -
