[Compton castle]

I've been laying some of the dapol 7mm ballast this is the main line and will have freshly laid flat bottom rail on it. I can get back to building track Monday.

How do you rate the PECO stuff, compared to Exactoscale/C&L?
Will there be any flat-bottom points?

 

[Compton castle]

Hi Jeff, no FB points, I'm using laser cut sleepers with individual Peco pandrol clips and there FB rail. It's very good.
As far as I'm aware Exactoscale have not done any of there FB range in 7mm yet,

Did any one else notice a rogue pandrol clip out of place??? I did. It's now been moved to its correct location!

I like the mixture of FB and BH rail, period correct and not often modelled

The brick walk way for around the turntable now painted just the raised brick lines to add, Rob's (King John) Large Prarie is the first loco to run on DCC Two more pictures from Martyn, 3link

The latest update from The very clever Mr Martyn Day.

When I spoke to Martyn today this set of point work is about 3'8" long, including two points, one tandem point and one slip. One of the few things that may have been included was the use of P/B rail for the check rails [ it still looks a bit like rusty rail if the paint gets rubbed off (not sure if you can get this in 7MM though)].

Looking at one of the photos Martyn check the alignment of the common crossing rail on the slip, as one of the rails looks a bit out (it could just be the photo).

Paul I have only one thing to say to you " Specsavers" , I have just checked the alignment and it's spot on, what I think you can see is one edge of a cast fishplate which in turn " throws the eye " if you get what I mean. Why use p/b rail, just use some steel rail and let nature take it's course .

ATB,

Martyn.

Hello Martyn,

this is the rail that I was talking about,


Do you see it now? Or is it just your bad photo? If it is out that is going to give a bit of a BUMP, and on a slip!

Speak at the weekend,

OzzyO.

PS, the of the rest of the track work looks fantastic.

That wall looks soooooooooooooo much better!

Now all you have to do is clean the track and hide the base of the signal.

Hi Dave
I was wondering if it would be possible to do a 3D print of the GWR ATC ramp? I've attached pictures of the drawings of the ramp.
Just a thought

That does look impressive, the colours and variation looks just right.
