Did it once back in the 90's 1 hour 45mins to Cork from Dublin before the motorways! Was in the middle of the night in a Sierra Cosworth
-
High speed train sounds great, does't leave much time for getting on and off the train though!
-
Good luck with the layout, post pics as you go
-
That is truly stunning Nelson, so crisp with great attention to detail. Greatness is already here. Well done young man.

Most of the stuff Sean does is Kato, I have my eye on a lovely set.
-
Yeah me too, I'll send you a PM with Sean's contact details.

What type, English, American etc? Sean Ryan that organises the Toys of Yesterday fair in Bray deals in N Gauge. He could make up a starter set for you as I was talking to him yesterday about an N gauge American starter set I want to put into a coffee table.

Seen it today and it is stunning! A masterpiece

Maybe use some Threadlock?

Best of luck Eamonn

He was such a great actor, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Anyone guess what movie that one is from?

You could fit a lot on that space, the trick to track planning is less is more. A layout covered in track won't look like a model railway. A level crossing would be easy I wouldn't use the Hornby or Peco ones as they don't look right. Have a look at my website I have a layout up on it with a level crossing using the studio scale models brass kit.

A 5' wide layout will need access from both sides if you do not have an operating well as you won't be able to reach across the layout. 11' x 5' is a decent size, do you want a double round loop or shunting or a mixture of both?

Cheers Bos

I wish I had been out on the beer, had to drive to Waterford to see a customer. No rest for the wicked
-
Tis me lads, thanks!

Peco all the way, had the same problem with a client that installed Hornby points and a tender on a steam loco kept derailing and causing a short. They are absolute rubbish, and for the money you pay they are a rip off. The better modification to them is replace them!

Looks great, the walls embankments and bridges ad a great dimension to the layout. Paudie the bridge, walls, platforms are all made from foam cut with a hot wire cutter. Eoin is a master at it.

That's a pity, Stillorgan is on today.
-
Wow, looks brilliant. Love the interior.

Sorry I should have clarified, yes I'm using streamline. Don't like set track as the radius on the points are too severe.
-
Hi Alan, cut up some flex track would be best. I'm building a layout at the moment for a customer and it's 7' 6" x 4'. Because it's small I am spacing the track to 67mm for clearance but I am using all Peco flex track. I had to fit extra pieces of track between the points. Here's a pic

Top notch Eamonn, the side windows on my car look like that from all the driving I've done over the last week:tumbsup:
