I'd assume that a hopper and/or loco is 20 metres each, so 240 metres, thus 2m80. So you'd need at least 3m between stations, ideally more. At 6...
It seems to be that we are talking about very different train frequencies indeed. The diagram I see is what's best described as single track, so...
One train = one block for the purposes of this. If in your imagined 20 miles there are 10 blocks then at full capacity 10 (in reality probably...
You'd need one block for one real block. So an imagined 20 miles of mainline with blocks of 2 miles means needing 10 train lengths. Or you could...
Personally, I leave a section of plain track in between each station and halt the train there for x minutes to simulate the travel time, but it...
No, because: Speed = Distance/Time. Thus, at speed to be 1/xx th... of real life, then distance OR time must be shortened. Therefore, 1/x speed...
Congratulations to our very own author for his modelling...
Thanks for all the advice. Probably will follow Paul's advice as there was just the one sleeper car in the whole of Woking Exhibition to probably...
As the title suggests, I seems to have made my own life rather difficult. Having yesterday gone to the Woking exhibition, I picked up a Mk1 SLSTP...
Which is an excellent excuse for manufacturers to charge more than necessary and take longer time to make. I would rather miss out of the clarity...
Rapido also do an insightful series of videos as well: https://www.youtube.com/user/rapidotrains
Thanks
Well, I have only ever seen one train jump off the rails at a turnout and that was on Hornby setrack with their Pendolino while being fed 15v for...
Thanks. The confusion regarding track elements seems to only increase. Apologies for the confusion.
Yes, precisely the 'Vees' you are talking about. Just need them filed so that I can solder onto sleepers. Peco do O gauge versions in their...
Ready-made frogs for N or 00. Essentially so that I can save money on points.
Does anyone know where I might find tight-ish radius point frogs?
I saw a chap at Peterborough making LNER teaks out of wood. Very realistic too.
How much are you looking to pay for one? Where do you live? What condition do you want it in? I've got a couple but they're in a self storage so...
That is Sunday the 29th at 9 am for our Sydney-based members and 4pm on the 28th for west coast USA members.
