Tim that's exactly the look I'm going for.

Thanks for the thoughts so far guys. While this is a dock railway, then name is a combination of a couple of London docks, West India Quays and the Royal docks. PLA had a quite large internal railway system and quite a bit of it was away from the water. I've had yet another iteration of the design. ...

PLA seems to have had a "standard" track arrangement that was repeated several times down a row of warehouses. It's a back to back pair of crossovers. http://i558.photobucket.com/albums/ss28/doctordalek2/pla_track_arrangement_zpscasjbmvp.png Long term I think this could be extended to incl...

Everything looks good except that I'm not sure what a couple of the bits are. From top to bottom we have connecting rods and then main rods. The m...

The Gaugemaster system is a repackaging of the MRC (Model Rectifier Corp) system of the same name. It may be worth looking for reviews under that name. I haven't used the Prodigy Advance myself, but I have used both the PowerCab and Digitrax's Zephyr. Of the two I prefer the PowerCab. It is very int...
