Hi Jack

 

Looking great there, your on the way.

 

Just on the point of Modular Railway Layouts;- Have you considered the specification for Modular Systems posted in a thread in this forum area? The reason I ask is that we are trying to establish a standard that if modellers adherer to there should be no integration problems when separate layouts come together!

Are you agreed on transition boxes ? There is a lot of different ideas in the modular layout topic. Do we have any summary what a standard should be?

Hi Jack

 

The modular layout thread drawing has stayed the same since the start, there has been minor upgrades and additions to the drawing like- addition of sky board, addition of board display lights, etc;

 

The current drawing is at the following link (drawing without display lights);-

The depth of the board- front to back is now 600mm and not 610mm

 

I will prepare a complete drawing in pdf format with the display lights and post it up

that is the most realistic fence complete with mucky base i have seen - and i thought that the wall was good? superb=D keep expecting a heap of germans to charge it at any time - would look fab in a world war 1 scene!
