Broithe Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 The first weekend in February brings this excellent exhibition around again, just a few miles off the M6, if you're passing by. http://www.staffordrailwaycircle.org.uk/exhibition.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broithe Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 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.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broithe Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) There was also this chap, specialising in railway guns. Now, who does that remind us of...? http://irishrailwaymodeller.yuku.com/reply/502/nearly-nearly-finished-rail-gun#reply-501 Edited February 2, 2013 by Broithe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Fantastic layouts Broithe and a very high standard. I really like that Swiss layout:tumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broithe Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broithe Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Malix is based on this sort of thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Was that layout N or HO Broithe just hard to tell from the pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broithe Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 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.
