Thank you, very nice of you to say.

Thanks for the info, the buildings were only on loan for that show, they usually reside on my colleagues home layout.

hello, the layout is 11' x 3'8" or 3350mm x 1100mm

Not really, the only V4 currently available is this Judith Edge partial kit. The kit only provides the chassis, running plate, cab and tender so requires you to make the boiler from scratch. This one took me roughly a year to build working for a few hours most weekends.

This was taken on the Wanganui Model Railway Club layout, and it really does look good there. Shame the camera was struggling a bit for focus under the lighting. I'm still trying to track down some H0 scale Mk1 coaches to go with it, but in the meantime just have to imagine it's on a visit to Germany.

Thanks, kind of you to say.

Thanks Jef, we're currently making some adjustments and alterations to make operating easier then we'll be into the scenery.

@@melpaul6049 Thanks for the reply, looking forward to the result.

Great stuff isn't it? Marklin is a relatively recent addition to my interests and it has a charm all of its own, particularly when using M track.

Yes, given that dad passed away over 20 years ago. I can't imagine he'd have any issue with me playing with the train set unsupervised.

Thanks, we opted for this design as it allows a reasonable length of run in relatively small space. A bit unfortunate that you don't have space to pursue the hobby as you'd like to but certainly not a good idea to try M Track outside, rust might become a problem.

Thanks. Hopefully it will be even more cool next time I post a video of it.

Thank you, there's still quite a lot of work to do but it performed well on its first public outing. The road utilises Faller car system and is a very simple loop, Magnarail is a bit bulky for the available space.

Hello, that is a great layout !!! I’ve been planning many layouts with SCARM for 2 years for my currently available space (160 x 46 inches), and this diagonal station with front & rear ramps to a shadow station is a recurring theme in my designs…

Hello, thanks for the comment. This layout is based on a Marklin Z scale track plan. The lower level is more or less a mirror of the top, with the same passing loop arrangement.

@@melpaul6049 thanks for the info. I initially planned the same, but then came up with a design that allows to store 12-14 trains in the shadow station.

Sure, no problem.

Hello, Go to the LNER Forums and look at the Paul's Workbench thread. On page 4 there is a photo showing in it with the body removed, you can see the Mashima Motor and Comet gearbox and how it is located in the chassis.👍

Hello, very kind of you to say.

Hi RockstarRob... it's a bit of both, read the description, it has details of the build.

This one has a scratch built chassis and modified Hornby body. Check out PDK kits, they have a P1 available. Also have a look at the KNER forums, search for P1 and you'll find a PDK build.

Gresley's final design - often joked about as being a Rolls Royce for a Ford car's job! The final conjugated valve-gear design also. Gorgeous little engines...
