Arpleymodeller Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Maybe 35ft is a bit too much but 25-30ft minimum would be needed in 00. This would accomodate a 23 HTA rake and a 60/66 as well as the run rounds and approach near the road bridge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arpleymodeller Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) You haven't looked at my plan have you, no worries, you carry on with that idea and I'll stick to mine, I had a look, but it didnt have any dimensions for oo gauge? I had a look on google maps and there is a bit of overgrown track at the far end which was where the line would have continued before dissapearing into trees and bushes. If I did make the effort to model this location I would model the far end with the overgrown track to make it look like the prototype. So with the approach with the road bridge, the crossovers and fun length sidings with the far end modelled as overgrown I would say 20-25ft would be a good size. Although if the train lengths were reduced to aroud 15-19 HTAs then the length would be reduced to around 16-18ft. Practically, N gauge would be the best scale.

rob D2 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I think you'd have to go for the feel of the place in OO. A runround on an embankment, those lights and some houses backing on maybe - Does anything else run round there or is it just bulk coal ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

magic_monkey09 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 glad to see her still in TCT blue, although I prefered the window frames black and the DB nose sticker looks odd on such a light colour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonas Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I think I saw a DBS red example yesterday past my house heading towards the station in Hereford on an engineer's working in the Shrewsbury direction - looked like a long train of MFA type low sided opens. Can anybody clarify? First one I have seen down this way for a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob D2 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Does it really come from Swindon ? I didn't think the steel trains ran any more to south marston. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 6B49 runs from Llanwern to Swindon Stores, which is just next to the Kemble Line, not at South Marston. I believe it supplies BMW (Mini) with steel. 6B50 is the return, and can depart anywhere between 13.30 and 17.30 depending on the load jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
