That said, I present to you "Pond Mills". Based on an actual location on the London & Port Stanley Railway, the layout is simple, scenic and local. Rolling stock will be modified from existing T gauge stock and consist of L&PS motor car No. 8, trailer No 3, Express Motor No. E1 and one of the L&PS's express baggage cars (a 40' boxcar), either B1 or B2. This is subject to change, but currently this is my plan. Now to just get the equipment _________________ Regards, Dan MacKellar Last edited by DanMacK on Sat Jan 24, 2009 3:14 pm; edited 1 time in total Back to top trainspotter-usa Joined: 04 Sep 2008 Posts: 315 Location: Minnesota Posted: Tue Jan 20, 2009 6:35 pm    Post subject: Apparently I am not authorised to download the attachment Ian _________________ I CAN see how cool this stuff is!!! http://more-t-please.blogspot.com/ Back to top Ozrail Guest Posted: Tue Jan 20, 2009 10:24 pm    Post subject: trainspotter-usa wrote: Apparently I am not authorised to download the attachment Ian Don't think your missing much then.

Well, what is impressive is the staging yard ("traverser"). That will be very interesting to see! _________________ —David http://www.t-gauge.net/ http://1-450.blogspot.com/ Back to top DanMacK Joined: 04 Sep 2008 Posts: 127 Location: London, Ontario, Canada Posted: Sat Jan 24, 2009 3:31 pm    Post subject: Thank you I think making it functional will be the thing to see _________________ Regards, Dan MacKellar Back to top zomer Joined: 03 Nov 2008 Posts: 124 Location: Victoria, Australia Posted: Sun Jan 25, 2009 3:23 am    Post subject: A traverser!!

I don't have it, but really want to get it, if only for this route. _________________ Regards, Dan MacKellar Back to top DanMacK Joined: 04 Sep 2008 Posts: 127 Location: London, Ontario, Canada Posted: Fri Jan 30, 2009 2:50 pm    Post subject: I've been thinking about the design, and I may actually design it in 4 pieces (front scene, end curves and traverser) in order to build more scenes along the line. I'd like to include more scenes along the line and possibly the line's shops as well. Pond mills is the first step in this grander scheme. I'm also going to build motor car #12 (and possibly 14 as a dummy) instead of #8, as #12 was 71 feet long, which is about the length of an unmodded T gauge chassis. The express motor will also be built on a shortened chassis however. _________________ Regards, Dan MacKellar Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         Talking T Gauge Forum Index -> Layout Showcase All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum General Forum----------------Welcome!Trading Post Modeling Forum----------------Tips, Tricks and AssistanceT Gauge ProductsModeling in TLayout ShowcaseModular Frame of MindNarrow Gauge  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © phpBB Group.
