Tumble Down Falls

I think Totton in N Scale might just fit.

I think I may have been exaggerating.

 

[Paul M]

Ooooh!
Hump-shunting in the garden!

Steady on old chap, family forum and all that

I think I may have been exaggerating.

I was being a little ironic as Totton is/was a much smaller facility near Southampton, Toton is/was a whack off great marshalling yard near Nottingham.

Ahhh Indeed. That one flew right over my head.

In which case, you hit the jump, way too fast!

The Pola "Garden Shed" (their description not mine) is now completed and replaces the wooden "General Store" on top of the embankment:

It seems to be some time since I last posted on this thread, mainly due to the fact the railway has not undergone any changes (locos and rolling stock in their own threads). But I just thought I would show you a blockage on the "Strawberry Line"

Caused a bit of a jam did it?

 

[PhilP]

They'll make a nice pair..

It is because it's a preserved railway.

 

[PhilP]

Sweet!

Sweet!

Bet it gave the passengers a bit of a jar!

Just a quick update on my re-routing:

The phase 2 route next to the back of the engine shed never really worked, I did see if I could get a crossing is to keep the line but the geometry was all wrong, some trio fits and pondering.



The new configuration confirmed as viable.



The three slabs laid and the crossing fitted, more slabs to go and double track, turning left behind/under the seat, and culminating in a dog bone for a nice long out and back.

That sweeping curve to the crossover looks spot-on, Jim.

Only wish I had space for them all to be like that.

Very much agreed. Came to say something similar.

JimmyB not sure if I've missed it, but do you have a track plan of the expansion (I love looking at a good track plan!)

Not produced one yet, but it is on its way

Is the "Lump hammer" there in case you get frustrated with the math.....

Used for minor adjustment, and easing of fittings. Funny how it (the lump hammer) just turned up one day a couple of years ago
