Hi All,
I hope you didn't mind me going a bit 'off-piste' with my P4 conversion test piece last night. However, in parallel with this I'm trying to improve the look of my NG track as well. I think it will be interesting for people to see and understand the difference between the two gauges...(at the same scale)
Some measuring up this morning has me thinking that the standard-mixed-gauge-standard point /crossing complex is going to be quite a challenge ! Work starts soon converting an old Mainline (00) loco to P4. I also have a troublesome point on the NG girder bridge. I think this will have to come out and be re-engineered as it has a broken tie bar. Plenty to keep me occupied over the winter...
Cheers,
Dave
Not at all Dave. It was good to hear about it.
We also talked about automation, animations and so on. There is a MERG member who has gone to town in this area and he has a YouTube channel: Essex Brick Model Railway.
