Cool, just had a look at that, wonderfull set you have there. There are a few (old) photos of my (smaller) layout on my website, which is in my sig. Daniel

Yeah, it can deffornatly be done using the new, tiny, deocrders - However, the usual thing is to have a waggon behind it with the decorder in it. This is what i did, about 5years ago, when the smallest decorder was still too big. (Little ZTC one) The engine is the grafar 0-3-0 GWR pannier...

AH cool. - I only have two locos, and theres ussally only me driving, but DCC is still cool, the fact you can leave the loco 'parked' anywhere, and then go off and drive another loco stright off no need for isolating siddings etc. - Also, i have a revering loop and the ZTC system just sorted...

Hi, As 60103 says, you can get full sized plans from Peco, there are about 20p and you get a double sided A3 sheet with all the points etc on. No stright track. However what i did was just stick the points that i have on the scanner bed and scan them into the PC, along with a load of stright...

Im also using DCC for the trains, with std electic opertaion of points, using a 12v power pack and double-throw center-off switches (with built in return to center spring) Also: ZTC (UK) do a triple turnout decoder that will power electromagnitic "snap" motors, or (with a small addapter) the...

Anyway, hopfully i'll get some track layed soon!

But as i sayed, there hardly common place, one of the tube, and one where three lines meat, not many! - Non in yards, and non in the ex-GWR reagion

no i havnt. - How does the atlas table work? - got a link to some pics? Daniel

And fly me out from the uk? :thumb: - Anyway, im busy with exams till after june! Back to topic, thanks guys, i'll defonatly do the double slip (i'll give it a a good test before i lay anymore around it, just to be safe) also, i thought thats what a "wye" was, thanks, but im not sure they...

Maybe i should have sayed earlyer. This is my first yard, the "main layout" was layed by me, but my uncal designed it, an built the base board (then his kids got fed up, and i didnt finish it) - I will be running the limited about of GWR steam stock (a tender loco, a push-pull tank, 2branch...

What do you mean? if you do not think it ready for laying, please let me how, if you think it is ready to lay, please tell me also, because as i sayed, i'd quite like to get it layed as i have the week off and not much to do. Daniel

So no one had a problem with using a double slip on the "mainline" in terms of reliablity issues? - I might to that then, which would increase then lenght of the yard some more. - And you, i cen get round to that end of the layout to operate the TTable :thumb: Daniel

Also, i could move the whole right hand end in another 5" if i used a double slip for the takeoff on the left. - woudl this provide acceptable reliabiltiy? A photo of what i would like with the double slip (which would be mechanised) Danel

Nobody has a problem with the TTable and the three shorter sidings though do they? - Might start laying them tomorrow. Daniel
