Could be this - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PKP_class_SM48 ? Or similar... ..I can't quite make out the number on the front.. -
Expo do nice, stainless steel rules for a few quid... ..in all the common scales.

That's virtually jewellery.

A bit cheaper and non-toxic - http://www.gaugemaster.com/item_details.asp?code=DLBD-38 - might be slightly less dense, though, I suppose.

Excellent! I assume that you have the track at mains voltage to keep them at a distance? And I do like that 'flat' near the rear of the Enterprise - very realistic.

I remember seeing an article on the Bodmin layout some years ago that mentioned its Red Arrow radio control system. http://www.redarrowcontrol.co.uk/

H0 + N dual-gauge rail is available. Dual-gauge railways do exist in real life.
-
Do remember that, if the slope is on a curve that will add to the resistance, you can have a steeper straight slope than a curved one. I made a couple of slopes using the full eight feet of a piece of hardboard to make the 'boxes' - with a 2½ inch rise we had no real problems, running all sorts of stuff - but, they were dead straight.
-
About an inch a yard seems just about OK. There is the DCConcepts magnetic traction enhancer available now - if you do require a steep slope. http://www.gaugemaster.com/item_details.asp?code=DCDCX-PBVP

Excellent!

We have discussed this before - http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/showthread.php/188-K-s-00-scale-white-metal-locomotive-kits-(1970s) .

Or a shot one, if you're doing a UK West Country layout - at £4,000 a hit - you could have a person shot for that much..

Lovely.

Don't forget a few(?) pot-holes, puddles, man-holes, shores, etc - with all the different coloured repair patches.

You can hardly see it - the cap is still on....
-
No two pieces of tarmac are ever the same colour - the range of shades is quite extreme, if you do actually look at them - and there's usually a shading where the tyres have 'polished' it a bit, too - as in your picture.
-
For the white markings, these 'correction pens' are quite good. ..and 'flexicurves' can still be had from some stationers, they're a great help in making the lines 'flow' properly.. The white markings that result can be a little too clean, but it's easy enough to dull them down a bit.

Cork has five, and even little Ballybrophy has four, but I don't know of a six. Where I live, Stafford, has five platforms, 1, 3, 4, 5 & 6. No platform 2, for complicated reasons...

My local mob had Littleton Parkway - as we had Littleton Colliery not far away, until the great closure plan got going. http://www.staffordrailwaycircle.org.uk/layouts3.php

Review of it in a recent Model Rail or Hornby magazine (somebody lent me both and I can't remember which it was). Seemed to be quite favourable... Like an updated version of magnadhesion.
