Well, i am taking a plunge and trying to re-create Sturminster Marshall or Bailey Gate as it was also known and looking at a track layout of it in a book, it says 160 feet to 1 inch on the map.
Now, i was crap at maths when i was at school so, if i want to be as true to scale as possible, what on earth would 160 ft to 1 inch be for a 00 scale layout please anyone ?
If i dont have any luck here i might do an el supremo come mega sized layout of Charlton Marshall 'station' !!!!!
For those whom have never heard of these 2 stations, they were on the famous Somerset and Dorset railway (southern half of it)
Bailey Gate used to have a unigate milk factory and cheese factory and was the most profitable station on the southern half and the line and was sadly torn up in 1970.
If i can, i will try and put some photo's of it on here but dont hold your breath as i am unsure how to put pics on here.
thanks all
