Model Railways
Foxshaw Gardens Amusement Park
I wanted to make more room on this layout and decided that the only way to do it was to move the castle backward. To do this I had to raise it over the track.
These photographs show how I did it and also the finished result.
New Arrivals - 009 Rolling Stock
I have for some time now wanted to add some 009 rolling stock to the Pleasure Park railway. Bachmann are planning to release an 0-4-0ST Quarry Hunslet 'Dorothea' in the new year and so I decided when they do I will buy one and some coaches to go with it.
My latest 'OO' Project
Is a layout ever finished? A question that most railway modellers will answer no to, and I can vouch for that.
Looking at my OO/Hoe layout it seemed as though there was nothing else that I needed to do, but there was a part of it that I wasn’t very happy with.
Track Dead Spots and Tunnel
I have been having trouble with dead spots on my OO layout, unfortunately some of them are in the tunnel. This meant quite a lot of work.
I intend to clean the track with IPA solution including in the tunnel. Most of the track is accessible with some stretching but the only proper way to do the track in the tunnel is to open the back of the tunnel to give me full access.
