May 2010 Model Rail is dedicated to micro layouts, with plenty to illustrate that you can create something even in the tiniest of spaces. By contrast, the delightful Nettlebridge Valley Railway also featured is by total contrast around 35 feet long.

ReplyDeleteQuestion for you, though - you use C&L code 75 rail + Peco finescale points. Do you have any good shots of the transition between the two in terms of sleeper spacing? Is it noticeable?
As long at the sleepers and ballast are similar in colour it looks fine. Black sleepers and pale ballast would not work.

Chris did you evaluate Exactoscale and/or SMP before opting for C&L?
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen the mag yet but like your previous work a lot.
Regards
It's SMP and Peco code 75 - why SMP? Simply because I had some spare at home. Given the choice I prefer C&L - the chair profile is more distinct. I used all C&L for Catcott Burtle including points..
