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.

Lovely thing. A Weshty kit one day, perhaps.....?
-
Great presentation - like Thomas the Tank Engine for grown-ups.. Keep it up.
-
I thought you had managed to get some sort of 'sound signature' on your posts.. Yeah, great stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsAamHuyj2w

This Twitter feed - https://twitter.com/PhotosOfDublin - has interesting pictures - scroll down a bit for an atmospheric shot of Kingsbridge.

I am genuinely just listening to Enola Gay on BBC Radio 2 - spooky.
-
Definitely a good plan..

You could sprain your ankle slipping off that step in icy weather...

Roofs falling in everywhere, it seems - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-25458009
