Hi, can anyone give me suggestions for how to lay cork roadbed where
turnouts will go? I seem to have a very hard time getting the two

G'day all :-)
I have finally managed to complete another loco.  RVR No 3 "Auraria" is a
conversion of an Aristocraft 2-4-2T to "Australianise" it and make it blend

before I was six ..

'The Midlander' RS.8
It contains loco, tender, two carriages and an oval of track plus a
dealership booklet - all original from, I believe, 1965. It's been in
