See you all back on the 'dark side'....P48 is calling again...!!
dave is that a 21 tonner and is it 1 32 if so any ideas if its a kit etcView attachment 150591
Given that a G1 turnout is quite long on its own, this comparably-sized 1:32 siding layout just had one of them and a DCC Ruston (visible behind the loader).
I still like the idea of an indoor 1:32 shunting layout, but i have too much unfinished business
Hi David,Brian T,
The jargon is "Inglenook 3-2-2", the size is 96" x 14", and the track schematic is:View attachment 150701
Brian, I do like the Sunset Switcher, very nice. Where do you post the P48 US stuff? Maybe Area 51?!
May I ask if you have sold the 04 and if so where? I keep looking at my O gauge thoughts and that may make me decide about the 03!!
All the best
Julian
just wish i could get my hands on an SP S12 steam switcher, but when there touching close to a $1000 inc. all the relevent taxes and postage,then i think that that`ll be the one that get`s away!!.(and that`s without the conversion cost`s.....)
Now you're talking - a proper switcher... I presume you have a copy of this....

I'm the other one which dabbles with P48 - mainly SSW with a bit of SP . And like yourself I have enough track parts to build a 'small' switching layout - including a self guarded frog!
All this is just too tempting Brian!! I have also had many false starts....
Look forward to seeing the beginnings of the layout.
Cheers
Julian
I`ve used the "Inglenook" scenario in quite a few layouts ideas over the years as it`s an ideal way to get some quick operation out of a small space, not to mention you only need one loco and either 5 or 8 wagons to get going with.
And i wish you all the best in your endeavours in pushing 1:32 as it does have its merits, but for me having to start turning wheels sets down and such just to get the right profiles made me think that i`d be better off sticking with P48 as i have all of the necessary items to hand anyway.
The only off-the-shelf G1MRA Fine and ScaleOne32 wheels I know of are Roxey Mouldings coach wheels in stainless steel.[/INDENT]
Have Slaters stopped doing their G1F wheels then?
G1 models have a "presence" that the smaller scales can't match
