I've added the first 15 photos taken at the NMRA BR Spring Meet to my
personal fotopic site starting here
http://mikehughes627.fotopic.net/p64309350.html

In this photo http://mikehughes627.fotopic.net/p64309350.html there is
an advertising sign that looks like it's part of the model but is in
fact part of a suppliers stand.

Another 15 to add very soon

I'd like to apologise in advance for the fact that I didn't get photos
of the AD&D, Broke Brick Mountain nor the Carshalton Club's layout. I
took my photos early in the day then just didn't get a chance to take
any more - and these layouts belong to people I know very well.

Sorry guys. To make up for my lack of pics here are some pointers to
previous pics

Those who want to know what the AD&D looks like can view previous pics
here http://mikehughes627.fotopic.net/c1573914.html
while those who want to see previous pics of Broke Brick Mountain can
look here. http://mikehughes627.fotopic.net/p52854671.html

Enjoy!

Thanks again for sharing, Mike.

Roundhouse seems much more than it is. Hard to choose between that and Wolf
Creek which reminds me of so many small towns, including some I've lived in.

Just a thought Mike - Is there a web site with the various track plans of
these layouts?
I'm new to US outline and still learning.

Regards

Mike

Not specifically.

I got the inspiration for my Lynneton Yard layout from the web by
looking up John Allen's 'Timesaver' layout. there are various
permutations shown from googling that will give yo plenty of
inspiration.

Where do you live? If it's in the UK I may be able to put you in touch
with a club or individual near you that can be of more specific help.

South Manchester, but time is so short it'll be a year or so before anything
much gets done.
So far building a 3x2 test track on which to experiment with couplings and
magnets, but that is taking longer than I had hoped due work load.
Any pointers on a localish shop dealing with Kadees? I need a couple of O
scale coupler magnets (from a thread, I think on this group, that suggested
I could cut these in half for use on an N layout). Meanwhile I'm making up
a small electromagnet to trial.

Mike
