georgeT Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 Will look out for some type of 7mm scrap metal wagons from the 60s in kit form, haven't got a clue what l need ? also will take lots of wagon pictures for my database, and l have decided to scrap the points using C&L chairs as there is far too much fiddling about, just didn't get on with them so l have gone back to soldering the rails onto copper-clad sleepers, to me they are much stronger, and as l want to build a yard with over grown green stuff and cobble stones you wouldn't see the chairs anyway... 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeT Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 I am thinking 3 x three foot six x twenty inches should be enough for a small yard. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 Well after a short break from my bench l am back with a new plan, well an old plan really l am going to re-build 'Grundy Street' as it was the best for playing trains, for me anyway, but this time it will be twice as big, just an over grown yard to shunt around with, hopefully l will get the wood for the base boards on Sunday... 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeT Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Hi Duncan, All l want is somewhere to play with the stock l have, just a small yard with a small fiddle yard at each end to save room and points, plus l am going to build ALL the track using copper clad.. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
