Just in case you hadn't seen the video on my thread, here's a loop of Crosscombe..

mmmmm............... Just smell that Butanone

Seems we men can multi-task after all.. Laying track whilst playing trains!! Sorry I meant testing the layout...

All in hand I think Jordan. Richard has a decent amount of stock, and I'm slowly building up freight trains.

JB.

"A few more vans"????

Just look at the mileage yards... room for hundreds.

I meant 'vans' as in "Transit Vans", to move that edifice to Telford...
I think maybe Graham 'got it', but is gently pulling my leg...

Anyway railway vans aren't vans to me; they're cars. And mine run on trucks. that way there's no confusion with road transport.

Yeah, now I feel pretty stupid...

No problem, Colin still has his HGV licence. One decent sized artic should do it.

Yep, I can just imagine backing an artic through Richards back garden! .

Oh I don't know. It should be possible, as long as you avoid the moat.

Further to add, this will one day in (hopefully) the not too distant future be a Telford layout, so weight is a factor for the boards..

As a finished layout or work in progress?

 

[JohnFla]

Wow that is some roundy roundy, I've looked through from the beginning but can't find how BIG it is, could you enlighten me please.

I don't think it will ever do more than a couple of exhibitions due to it's size if I remember correctly, so I'm sure that it'll be a complete and scenic'd layout before it sets foot into the public gaze.

Hi John, I can't remember off hand, but I think it's around 60x40ft.... John or Richard would be able to confirm the size when they're on here next..

Except when their all called wagons

We'll cross that bridge when we get to it

Can it take the weight?

Thanks JB I knew it was Huge as I noticed it took 2min 25seconds to do one circuit on the video, Just think you could put Hayside in the middle

I think 50' x 30' is closer to the mark for the room. There's still a bit of space on two sides even after Richard added an extra 5' to the length (another story, but on the video look for the gap in the platforms)

As one visitor remarked "Yes, 50' really is the minimum for O gauge"

A lack of space is merely a challenge to the imagination.

John,

Surely we can erect a large shed in the back yard of your new abode .
