Why

56 years ago my father bought me a Lima class 86 for Christmas and it has been down hill ever since

Quote from: ismangil on April 03, 2026, 06:02:30 PMHi all, I'm new, not even bought anything yet still in the planning stage.

Mostly for space reason, I was considering N or Z or even T. But in UK I can't ignore the lack of Z or the singular T source.

Also deeper in my research I decided I like the shunting operations like Inglenook puzzle more than accurate depiction of prototype, that settled me on N, just the sheer amount of resources plus I live within 10 minutes drive of Rails of Sheffield.

Good luck with your build.
Please share photographs with us as you progress.

It's a classic inglenook shunting puzzle, so the layout is fine.

I wouldn't use the Unitram points, they're very sharp and (IMO) will look daft. Kato's #4 points aren't great, but perhaps try it with #6s.

You might add a short single siding off the curve to act as a head shunt or guardsvan siding to enable more options in shunting?

Hi all,

I'm new here, still in the planning stage.

So far I've decided scale (N, of course), type of layout (shunting puzzle), track (Kato Unitrack), and DCC (but I will ask about details of DCC in a separate post).

Right now I'm looking for feedback on my track plan. I want to use T-Trak modules. While of course the triple module is perfect for an Inglenook, if I can use a double module it will be better space wise.

I am aware I'll be restricting myself using a small loco like NGS Hunslet Shunter and short wagons.

Feedback welcome - don't worry if it's harsh feedback, I know I'm not starting with a starter set so perhaps I deserve it!


PDF of plan done in SCARM attached.

'Twas indeed the Empire Pool, Tim

I first saw Hawkwind on the "Space Ritual" Tour at The Sundown Edmonton (North London) on 29 December 1972. If you (Mick @Newportnobby ) saw them on the same tour it was probably at The Empire Pool Wembley on 27 May 1973?

Cheers,

Tim
