Good day all

My name is Nick and I live in Wokingham in Berkshire, UK.
I do not have a layout, lack of room, but I do dream of building a OO gauge representation of Kings Cross.

I know that it is a little ambitious so I may start with the small corner known as Kings Cross Loco. I have a couple of Bachmann Deltics tucked away soon to be joined by a couple of Hornby 31's. A number of Bachmann? 47's, and the odd heritage DMU later should start me on my way.

Too many childhood days spent at the end of Platform 10, I must have KX grime in my blood.

Cheers for now

Nick

Hi there Nick. Welcome to the forums. Kings Cross eh? That's some ambition you have there.

A lot of track in a small area, agreed but quite compact for the number of train movements.

And I love pointwork.

Welcome Nick!

You must go for Peco then, not Hornby

Who makes a Scissors Crossing with LH an RH entry points but twin double slips on exit.

or do I get my razer saw out

If its intricate pointwork you want then check out the penultimate picture on the exhibition pictures on this group of pics!!! www.phoenixrpc.co.uk
If you ask peco nicely i'm sure they'll knock you a set up.

Perhaps we should start a new topic in another section before Doug or Dennis rear their 'moderating' heads and breathe their fire

?

If you mean the picture 49 (Paul Bigland)
That has to be "The Throat"

Doug maybe but moi?

If I kept track of all the stuff I do wrong I'd have to ban myself.
