I went up today - here's s few pics.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I realise that layout names often have a reason behind them, but I declined to enquire about the back-story to this one..

There was also this chap, specialising in railway guns.

 

 

Now, who does that remind us of...?

Fantastic layouts Broithe and a very high standard. I really like that Swiss layout:tumbsup:

[Broithe]

The Swiss one, Malix, was the best for me, too. The standard was spectacularly high - in fact, it would have been much harder to pick the worst, rather than the best...

[Broithe]

Malix is based on this sort of thing...

Was that layout N or HO Broithe just hard to tell from the pic

Malix is HO(m) - there's very little about it on the net - I did see an article a while back about building the spiral itself.

 

It really is good. It worked faultlessly all day, even with such a steep gradient on a fairly tight spiral - and the added drag of the pantograph.

I would love to have a go at something like that only in N
