Martin The trouble, as I see it, is that the NRM remains totally focused on visitors to the museum, and not at all on remote access. That Jim Russell from his...
Martin One further problem that I found from a recent visit to the NRM Research Facility is that copies of their photographs used to be available in the usual...
Dear Friends, Some years back Martin kindly provided me with notes and a tutorial on how to join facing spirals. I've long since lost the notes and skills...
Hi Xopher, Just a note to say your message hasn't been overlooked. Please bear with me for a couple of days, I am using your S-curve question to try out some...
Hi all I am thinking about building an smallish N gauge layout and want to build some custom curved points, but am not sure how to build these as I was...
... You could use Peco code 60 rail (readily available in the UK - try Branchlines), that would be a close match to code 55. Micro Engineering in the US do...

Carrs - C+L sell copperclad fibreglass sleepering - either in 15" or 17" lengths as follows; 3.3mm x 1.06mm 3.3mm x 1.6mm 3.3mm x 1.6mm 4mm x 1.6mm 7mm x 1.6mm...

... Hello Brian Thanks for your reply, this looks perfect.. I shall be placing an order soon :) What solder do you recommend for this type of rail? Regards Tom...
Almost any solder - 145, 179, 183, etc. But we do a 0.5mm dia 183Tin/Lead. The tiny wire will make for neat joints. Product ID C2011 0.25kg. Five pounds plus...
I would go for the Peco rail. The Micro Engineering rail has a wider rail head than the Peco track and looks quite odd when jointed onto Peco rail. I built...
Hi Tom, Here's some input from California. Sorry for the delay in catching up with all the other suggestions, but we are 8 hours behind you guys and it's only...
Hi Andy, Tom, ... Bear in mind that for UK that is a fraction *under* scale. UK FB rail is 6.1/4" high. UK N scale is 1:148. So exact scale FB rail for N is...

Having just caught up with this thread even later than Andy Reichert, and I have no excuses, I thought I'd stick my two penn'orth in. If you want code 60...
And before you send an order to Brian for his pcb strip note that you need strips only 2mm wide, 3.3mm is appropriate for H0 not N. The 2mm Society probably...
... Speaking of Brian's PCB strip, what is the best way to cut it to length? Especially the 1.6 mm thick material? (It is double- sided copperclad...
