Thanks Bob, I'll remember that

Are those Blue/grey levers on the control panel for the Kato Point motors Ed? 

Yeah, I think a quite impressive (if expensive) row of levers.

I like 'em and it was a lot easier to set up than Peco points and motors.



Ed

… solid, good looking and easy to manipulate.

Nice. 

Not had time to do much, but I have started trying to create some templates for the partly curved station platforms.

Not easy in N and I suspect the gap between platform and coach will end up with passengers needing to do the long jump to get on.

Thankfully the platforms will be mainly under the upper level, so it might not be too noticeable.





Ed

That's a pretty tight curve for a platform Ed.  However, having the doors at the ends of the carriages, unless you plan on using those non-corridor coaches so popular in the south, should avoid most of the long-jump exits ……………….

If they are indeed hidden, then the ox-bow created by carriage and platform won't be seen………………..

I reckon it will be fine Ed. Hidden away in the tunnel it will be more of a representation and therefore not really seen.

You will know of course!

Can you cope?

I knew there was a reason I didn't like using the  'pencil taped to a coach' method of marking the curves for the platforms, just couldn't remember what it was until now.



It is a 'used' coach from that auction site, not an eye watering expensive brand new one, just the same 



Ed

Hmmm - methinks you used the wrong tape Ed - you're not supposed to use Gorilla tape ……………….

Eek… has that pulled the paint or is it residue glue on the coach body?

Pulled the paint (or is it some sort of print on the plastic) off, only normal sellotape as well.

I now know why I only did straight platforms in 00 gauge 


Ed

 

Wow - I'd assumed it was  glue residue Ed.  Doesn't say much for the factory paint job does it …………..

It is old Peter, Graham Farish introduced this coach in 1984.
