If we had a $ or £ or € for every time we’ve been asked how to wire track and point-work, we’d be writing this on a beach somewhere while sipping a cold beer! A great layout needs good trackwork, so first - a word about trackwork and getting good performance. Choose carefully! DO think about making your own turnouts if you have even moderate skills. It is not as hard as you think, needs only basic skills and tools... and we do our best to make it easy with our top quality gauges, trackwork frets and templates. PLUS we will soon provide a detailed “How to make track” tutorial too. Interested? Then call or email us and we will do our best to help you. No matter what scale you will model in, DO NOT even consider using insulated frogs! Yes, lazy retailers who do not understand what they sell - and modellers who have never done a proper job of laying track so it runs well may well recommend it to you… but do NOT be tempted. No matter which brand makes the turnouts, if you use insulated frogs, you WILL have small locos stalling or also suffer from wider wheels bridging the frog tip and creating momentary shorts that are hard to fix and really are a source of constant frustration. Use more realistic rail sizes please: Usually this will be code 55 in N, or Code 75 and 83 in OO or HO Scale.

Society members can use their Saturday tickets on Sunday also, but must show their membership card and have their ticket endorsed on Saturday. As we say every year, because we believe it: Railwells has become a very special show in the railway modelling calendar. Once again it is being held in the delightful setting of Wells Town Hall. Railwells includes Scalefour Southwest as an integral part of this annual event. Scalefour Southwest is an annual part of the exhibition, and this year is joined by a special section for EM Gauge, complemented by demonstrators showing how to convert to and model in EM. The exhibition has two layouts under construction to show you how, Black Lion Crossing by Geoff Kent and Bristol Barrow Road by Robin Whittle. There will be at least 50 exhibits this year including 14 layouts, 17 traders, as well as how-to demonstrations and other displays with emphasis on layout and stock construction. Whether you are considering constructing a layout or not it is always interesting to see what someone else has done. All this will make the show well worth a visit. Refreshments Available all day, starting with breakfast baguettes and going on to ploughman's lunches and afternoon tea and cake.

  • The Ten Commandments of Model Railroad Yard Design
    The Ten Commandments of Model Railroad Yard Design By Craig Bisgeier Sample Yard Layout You may find it helpful to print out this diagram before reading the article. Having a hard copy of the diagram to refer to as you are reading will probably be a big help for some of the more difficult concepts. This is definitely a case of a picture being worth a thousand words... One of the most often modeled -- and misunderstood -- layout design elements is the yard. Nearly everyone has one on their layout, whether it's used simply for car storage or as an actual operating tool. Unfortunately, many of them don't work very well. Common design mistakes are made over and over again by beginner and intermediate modelers. They can't be faulted, though, because the info on how to design a good yard is very hard to find. Even when the hobby press gets it right, it's short-lived, because if you missed the issue you didn't see it. Most of the time you see poor examples (like the hated Timesaver) which are often published by the hobby press without comment, and therefore accepted by those who do not know better as good design. So the "secrets" of good yard design are difficult to for most to uncover, because the good nuggets of information appear in wildly different places like out of print magazines or books, special interest publications, or even word of mouth among advanced modelers. not many modelers have that kind of library or access. What is needed is a repository where all the good ideas can be collected, stored, edited and presented as one all-encompassing primer on the subject.

Abstract Freight transportation is a major component of the transportation activity in metropolitan areas of Texas where both highway and rail routes converge. Traffic conflicts in urban areas are especially acute in areas surrounding urban rail facilities. Rail operations are also greatly hindered in urban rail facilities, which are often surrounded by incompatible land-use activities.
