HI PaulE thanks have finely finished that module ready to join the track up to the station module when it stops raining being raining all week , storm Friday, the track be accessing about 7 platform trackThat's some mighty complex trackage. PaulE
Hi Chris, yeah get the most out railway keeps the controller on his toes. It didn't rain today s I made the most of it, joining the approach and station modules together, I decided not to use the brass strips on the rails this time, going for linking the two tracks with a centre track has worked better than I thought . Will linking the bus wires together using plugs that goes straight to the main bus wire connector strips. Wiring comes later need to sort out the module legs so they can fold inwards will have feed on the bottom of the legs so the legs don't sink into the grass too much .MY GOD Tony you certauintly like your points dont you as i did in my railway they really set the layout offf

Hi John, many thanks, are you talking about this bridge ,yeah very happy with it the way it turned out and the design actually worked, got it from a Russian design, I plan to have sky divers and hang gliders jump off the bridge . I have a spiral that comes after the corner approach module to gain height of 6 inches , the station modules are in the centre of the layout continuous running from platform to platform.. TonyLove the bridge Tony, any more photos please.
Thanks Tony, that photo certainly shows the size well. I did notice the construction method in the earlier photo, an excellent way of forming the curve and very strong.Hi John, many thanks, are you talking about this bridge ,yeah very happy with it the way it turned out and the design actually worked, got it from a Russian design, I plan to have sky divers and hang gliders jump off the bridge .

Here is a you tube video of the Indian Pacific arriving at Sydney Central station the train is so long they have to split the train,14 cars on one platform and 14 on the other, GSR always have two NR class locos to get the IP over the Blue mountains and into Sydney what I have based my layout onThanks Tony, that photo certainly shows the size well.
