Coal and Steel at Derwenthaugh
Issue 195 (2009)
p.303
4mm/P4
In MRJ 151 Dave Bradwell urged us to "just get on and build it". Now he moves on to "just operate it". Though cosmetically unfinished, Derwenthaugh has already captured the feel of the railway doing its job for industry. He has adapted American model railway practice to give his layout a real sense of purpose and expand the Finescale approach to its ultimate dimension.
Detailed look at how Dave uses an adaptation of the American card in pocket method of forming and running goods trains, providing a real sense of purpose for operation, much closer to the prototype, rather than just running a sequence of 'block' trains passing through with 'random fiddling' of stock in sidings. Accompanying photos of the layout.
