I got a warning yesterday that I was approaching 90% of my message storage limit here, so I had a good clear-out of old stuff that I don't really need to have any record of. It might be worth others knowing that this limit exists and to keep an independent record of any info that they might want to retain access to, in case they delete the wrong message when they get the warning.
That would mean Citizens' Advice Bureau over here - a less threatening call than one from the Criminal Assets Bureau, not that I have personal experience.
Although, we have had a history of people nicking locos over here - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/222883.stm .
The interestingly named Maryborough Station in Victoria, Australia, has dual gauge track - 5' 3" and 4' 8½".
..bit far to run a tunnel to there, though..
Yes, but they aren't really fishplates, so Rail Joiners is a better description....
You can also get plastic ones, for where you might want an isolated section.
Cosmetic plastic fishplates are available for the right 'look'.
In 00 4mm is one foot - a tenth of an inch is 2.5 mm, or 5/8 of a foot, which is 5 times 1.5 inches, or 7.5 inches - a bit over-sized.
Somewhere around 5 or 5.5 inches seems about right, in real life.
Streamline is a trade-name for Peco's flexitrack system and its associated points, slips and crossovers. I think the term is used because you can sweep bends more realistically than with fixed-curve Setrack.
The rail on code 100 is 100/1000th of an inch high and Code 75 is 75/1000ths high. Fine scale is a generic term for things that are more scale-accurate - thus, 75 track is more "fine scale" than 100 is.
