Some Peco medium radius left and right hand points as well as a three way point which will be used in the carriage sidings.

When the people at my local store cut my pine, he did about 6 at once. There is a clamp that compresses on the wood then this massive blade that came up and cut it. Overall, quite impressed with that, it was a clean cut too (and free 😉).

@Caiptean
It would be ideal. Far better for the environment as well - we should be concious of these things. Hard copies are always nice but in my opinion, a catalouge is only relevent per anum and wouldn't be of what you'd expect in a modelling book - say the "Hornby Book of Model Railways" which is relevent for a life time.

Some good quality pine timber picked up from the local DIY store. This was pre - cut for me, so I know the legnths are exact and I would be able to fit it in a car. This will be used to make the baseboard frames using the glue and screw technique (3mm drill bit with No. 8 screw). There will be 5 frames so the baseboard is modular, in case I ever have to move it. Plywood will be used on the top and will probabily be picked up next week.

@Jacob
Yes, I think so.
@LC
Great lot of info there. Thanks, may come in handy.

Yes, it was in BR Green on a heritage run.
I've also seen it haul some New South Wales N type carriage stock, when it went to Australia, of course. 😆 It also double headed with NSW locomotive 3801, which is NSW's Flying Scotsman (famous loco, but not as famous as the Flying Scotsman, of course).

I also saw the Flying Scotsman on TV hauling some blood and custards.

Such as the ability to multiply, or divide, by 10, or 100, or 1000 without the use of a calculator!! 😆
I go through torture through every maths lesson. Not torture of 'I don't understand sir', torture of 'What?! Revision AGAIN sir?' as well as torture of boredom.

The Colonel probably considers anybody over 20 to be old. The idea that computers are new makes me laugh.The fact of the matter is we can do things without computers that young people wouldn't even consider. 😆
Nope. 60-65 or above. And I'm the only one in my class that is learning Python (programing language).

Look, I won't say my age but I will tell you that I am younger than Jacob Wilson. I am the only one in my grade that's interested in trains and my friends think I'm mad... "What's so interesting about trains anyway??" That sentence rings in my head for a substantial amount of time. In class, we say a sentence we made out loud. My sentence is always about trains (Real or made up).
It's a shame that there isn't many young people here but I'm glad that all you old people can use a computer and forum because I know plenty of people you age who won't touch any forms of technology. Good on you.

An Auscision Models 421 class Diesel Electric; 42106 in particular. My first purchased locomotive and runs fantastically when I test sections of the layout. It was fitted with a LokPilot chip.
