It would be a shame to put kadee couplings onto a nice model and make it look like a piece of junk, why don;t you consider a more authentic type of coupling? Brian Rawbelle County Workshops Qld.

Hi all, I have just about finished building my Nigel Lawton Bow Frame 20HP Simplex kit in 14mm gauge. I will post some pictures when it is complete. At few questions for the group: What driver figure

Hello, does anyone know of any drawings and information about the Robert Hudson Railtrux bogie wagons currently on the f&whr? I've seen a couple of photographs here and there and I would like to know

There is a single bladed point at the summit of the Snaefell Mountain Railway on the Isle of Man. This is in regular use for passenger services, being used by loaded trams as they arrive at the summit

Brian, I’ve seen a few videos where they are running locos over those single blade points, I cant remember what the name of the videos were so I could post links to

Yes - but they wouldn't usually run locos through such points. So you would have to create a miniature robotic horse, which would be a lot harder than planning point blades! ;-) -- Brian

Hi Robin, Thanks for posting the link to the stub turnout. Picture taken from where the loco water facilities are now I think. Rob

There is a good example of a stub turnout that used to be at Porthmadog here: http://217.34.233.120:8086/view-item?i=149&WINID=1597302744687#.XzTn1-zTW9c Robin Get Outlook for

Thanks Frank, appreciate the info. Rob

Rob, Glibly I say search for Dinorwic. Well I have and though I've seen dozens of pictures of their pointwork, can I find one when I want it? However I've turned this up which shows really well how

Hi Brian, Frank, Thanks for your replies. I will do as you both suggest. Sorry for hi-jacking Stephen's original thread..... Rob

Rob, There were several versions but the basic one is quite simple. Imagine any commercial point where the switch rails are pivoted. Take those switch rails away and cut the stock rails at the same

Steve, I use Micro Engineering code 83 rail. I have purchased 3 way planed blades from http://www.proto87.com/product1901.html These work well for me. I have also previously planed the base of my own

Rob if you get in contact with George Sebastian Coleman gsebastiancoleman@...] he makes the slide chairs for doing stub turnouts for On3 how stub turnouts work is the rails leading up to where

Hi, Interesting video that Brian posted the link to - Health&Safety would have had a nighmare ! Can some kind person bring me up to speed on Stub turnouts/points ? Does the switch rail pivot on

Steve, The simple answer for your next NG project is to use stub points - no blade planing required at all!! You don't have use moveable crossings (as per Penrhyn & Dinorwic) as you'll use single

This site has a description of the switch blade profile for modern high speed use: https://the-contact-patch.com/book/rail/r1603-turnouts It shows that the switch rail section is different to

Thanks for those pointers Gents, I now see from John's articles that it is appropriate to remove the foot of the stockrail (assuming the prototype did!) which makes life considerably easier. I can say
