Novice question I know, but what rules were set for them? And was/is the track bi-directional in the rules?
Cheers, Robert :)

Track and rules were exactly the same as that already laid. Chris removed the offending trailing crossovers that I had put in but as soon as he put another one back in at Esholt Jct it screwed everything up again. So, no trailing crossovers!

Now working in Addingham. One and two are either side of the final overbridge before Addingham Station, three is the rather too clean signal box and four is the loading dock and cattle pens which I'm not 100% about. Anyway, WIP.

I finally have this end of Addingham Station looking as it should be:
Placed the starter on the dock but it's really too small
Image
I found a starter the correct height
Image
Right height but it is LQ?

Mr Yelland comes to the rescue!

Not just English countryside - Yorkshire countryside. :wink: Definitely lovely work for an area I know very well.

My railway photos are now on Google + - links to the albums are in this thread http://forums.uktrainsim.com/viewtopic. ... 9&t=149558

Lots of steam and early diesels from 1959 to 1963.
