layout

Has anybody ever seen a method for motorising the operation of a fiddle yard sector plate or traverser? I'm interested for both my layouts Blackbridge Town and Blackbridge Town Riverside.

I have created this thread to separate the thread on Blackbridge Town from the Blackbridge Town Riverside layout as development will be proceeding at a separate pace. Here is the layout: The layout is 3000mm long by 400mm wide and consists of four baseboards, two each 1200mm long and two...

Posted below are a few photos of our 7mm layout, Invermire (loosley based on Wick/Thurso in the North of Scotland) which is currently being constructed by members of Hessle Model Railway group. The photos were taken at a test session yesterday when we hired the large room at the Hessle Town Hall...

As I mentioned in my thread on my 54E layout, since my accident I have been unable to do much in the way of serious modelling and that lead to some 'chaffing at the bit'. I had already bought a couple of Heljan diesels to run on friends layouts when a chance conversation at an exhibition about...

Hello all. New to this forum. Thought you might be interested in hearing about the 7mm Finescale layout I have under construction called Blackbridge Town. As I basically like railway operation this is not intended to be a ‘scenic layout’, rather it’s been designed for maximum operational...

A few new pictures and captions have been added this week to expand Kevin's Bucks Hill page. It's just a quick tour for the fun of it, so pop along if you like the layout. There are still plenty of aspects that could be highlighted with separated pages like signalling, and particularly the...

Well, prevarication over - wood has been cut and the first track is laid and wired up on the first 2 of 4 boards. The 'layout' is a shed scene in the late 50s/early 60s and is basically somewhere to get all my locos out. If anyone is looking for 54E let me tell you now you will not find it on...

An exquisite 7mm /NG layout . The lorry is operated by remote control and if you want to read more follow the following link . http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/51862-the-end-of-the-line-0-14-and-0/ There is also a separate piece about the van but cant find it at the moment ...

Hi all Those who follow my new street thread will know I've been toying with a little side project, called Brettell Road (after a few name changes) I must admit I'm a bit out of practise with this track building stuff and this took a bit longer than I thought. Above is an overview of the...

Hi all, I would like to introduce my current long term plan to model Ranelagh Bridge in 7mm around 1960 give or take a few years. I havent made a start on Boards yet as Im still trying to find a suitable home for the layout. I do plan to build it so eventually it could be exhibited. The layout...

The layout has come about primarily due to a house move and is about eight years old. Prior to moving I was working in EM gauge and had about 90% completed my EM layout Barnard Park. Due to the house move it was sold and has now joined the exhibition circuit with its current owners, renamed as...

A new Scale7 layout being built by the SE Area group... I haven't seen it myself yet, but it's looking fantastic in the pictures..!!  :thumbs: http://www.flickr.com/photos/snaptophobic/ JB.

Wencombe/Kingsbridge Regis As stated in my New Members thread my 00 gauge layout Wencombe is based on an imaginary line from Churston via a viaduct over the R. Dart to Kingsbridge with passing stations at Dartmouth and Wencombe, with a branch from Wencombe to Slapton (upgraded during WWII for...

Embryo G1 Garden line I'm a bit embarrassed posting this here, because it has been seen elsewhere and progress is so pitiful, but anyway here goes. This is by way of a "place marker" for my garden line which I have at last started actually building. Building in the sense that I have track...

Withyn Reach, in another thread I've posted, is considered a very small O scale layout at 6ft x 1ft scenic section plus 4ft fiddleyard, but I have even smaller O scale layouts.. Lyddlow Goods Lyddlow Goods is a whopping 5 feet long in total. It's called "Lyddlow" as it's a "Little O"...

As requested, here's some info about my small O scale layout "Withyn Reach". First written in February 2008:- Thinking ahead to next year, and due to the inconvienient fact that British O scale stock with buffers & 3-link couplings can't cope with 2foot radius curves (but small US locos &...
