Sounds like an excellent place for Kyle  ,  :scratch: I think we need you to have a measure up &  give us a track plan

You could always do a 'minimalist' version of Kyle of Lochalsh... like someone on the Other Place mocked up in N Scale. I lost track of the thread (I think it was on Version 3 anyway) but kept these pics...

Think 7mm Scale... Heljan McSyphon & McRats... Easybuild coaches...  :scratch: *tempt* *tempt* 

The trackplan is almost exactly the same as Withyn Reach, so maybe if I built it Phill could overcome his prejudices... 


NO, I won't...!!!

:scratch: Maybe............but I doubt it  ;D

Seriously though the platform appears to disappear under the bridge to the fiddle yard & I do like that if it does, as it give the impression of a full size station  8)

I still want Steve to stick to the 20 foot Kyle though  ;D

Not if they've warped like my decking planks ...unless you want to model that really rough Dark Side track of course....

You must have a dodgy batch mate  , I have one for the track base in the tunnel which is fine (been down about 5 years now )

If it's in a tunnel it must be pretty dry then..?
Nah - my warped deck is probably more down to dodgy DIY....

Coming along Stevey boy but i noticed from the pi that the V hangers had splayed outwards. So being the kind caring sole i am i had a look on the vans to see if the needed straightening but nope you must have already done that after the pic was took
PS  i have seen your garden now and i still think you should rip up the decking, move the garage nearer the road and put the conservatory on the front. Then Kyle of Lochalsh here we come

How many Blue Spots are you doing Steve ? & are you going to finish them as BR blue parcels vans or as fish vans ?

BTW If you want anymore of those Lima Ferry Vans contact me by PM as I have three of them
