Well - not running or even sputtering running can be easily attributed to dirty wheels. But running 1 cm/min is just weird. On the other hand, I would love to be able to run my stuff that slow.

So this means, you may have a hard time getting the engines out of the shed once they are parked in there. If it were me, I would replace that track with NS.
but you are forgetting that no one will see the track. so there is no point in putting in the expensive track when no one can see it.
Quote from: PasqualeCS96 on April 18, 2012, 04:09:54 PMI agree! Not only is it dangerous, but it really won't look good. There should be a little scenery between the viewer and the track.
Looking good! I just think I should warn you to be very careful with your models on that straight on the edge in the last photo.
Quote from: DinoNTrains on March 20, 2012, 11:29:32 AMYeah, that's it. I would honestly be concerned running that close to the edge. I've seen derailments on the best laid track that would land perfectly good trains on the floor.
By wide, are you referring to what you see at the picture's right? It's wide like that so I can put in Knapford Station. The spacing is also somewhat wide across one set of rails to the other so I could put in Tidmouth Sheds.
Quote from: hornbyfan on March 17, 2012, 11:52:29 AMThe sheds definitely dominate the layout - either the layout is too small or the sheds are too big. And honestly, with the way you have it set up, I can't see how a track will be able to get to the turntable (even if you did have the points).
Anyway what did people think of my humble layout a few pages back!?
Quote from: JWR3001 on March 17, 2012, 10:14:15 AMI would definitely go for the mix. Ballast is rarely just one color and in my opinion mixing the two looks the best.
Could I be a pain and ask for a second (or more) opinions on the following matter?
