  1. I'd highly recommend a chat with Dave, having a lovely, clean, absolutely level baseboard is a must, and you can even build in levels and inclines at baseboard level - making the rest of the work much easier! My only regret so far was having done my terminus boards before meeting Dave, and now having to live with the unevenness of the ply
  2. 8x4 is a good size for a small terminus or rural station layout.
  3. It's amazing the impact sound, smoke and lights has on steamers... Martin that did those for me has been up to his eyes in recent years, I must poke him to see if he'll do some more, and capture some video on Amiens!

  8. What have you in mind Sean? For me the starting point is whether you like watching trains run by or enjoy more the shunting and operational side?

  10. "The RPSI's ex-GNR(I) 4-4-0 NO. 85 "Merlin" was in steam on Thursday night, 5th December. This was for some test running, including testing the speedometer and the AWS. There was also a lot of posing around under the yard lights!" From Mike Beckett
  11. Then again, the Allegheny's could generate 7,500 HP at 40 MPH!
  12. Pretty sure the Virginian Triplex was the most powerful, but it could only manage a max of 5Mph for a few minutes! (it was designed entirely to bank heavy trains up mountains!) Here is a pic with some humans to scale!
  13. Sweeeeeet Now that's a view
  14. i see your 2-6-6-6 ALLEGHENY and raise you the Virginian Railways 2-8-8-8-4 built in 1916!
  15. mess in progress!
  16. [ATTACH=CONFIG]10507[/ATTACH] Got into the attic for an hour last night, so managed to lay the freight yard, some concrete on the per-way shed and decided to rip up the running shed, am thinking this will be a small DMU servicing area instead!
  17. Absolutely looking the business!!!
  18. Oh dear oh dear oh dear :)
  19. Good man Richie - couldn't agree more - already bought the cork set
