Does anyone have detail drawing of this van l am looking for the one with the full width vent across the end and with the enclosed buffers.ie the old hornby one.
I have applied to HMRS for drawings yet to come but believe this may not be the same vehicle as no vent seems not to be shown.
Thanks. Ben

Re: Interested in a signal building group?
Hi Dave
how about doing some 1 or 2 foot bases with your slot would make it obvious where to look for crossing point.
Whilst on should we consider some sort of easy out base so we can split track at some mid points.

Re: Interested in a signal building group?
Hi Dave,
I it worth doing as you say a few boards with built in cable ie socket each side maybe 4 would do, I guess it does not matter where we cross.

Re: Interested in a signal building group?
Hi Rochard
See you are still progressing with signal electrics once you feel happy and Jonny is on board is it worth as many as we can getting together at wotton and having a big cable up, no one watching. As to cables l have palugs so if we get cable we could wire and try.

Re: Interested in a signal building group?
Hi there was talk of wether the spectical operation lever should allow the cable to run in front or behind the arm, having spent some time on the net there seem to be as many in front as behind, however looking at brackets it looks as if in front is a good option as the cable needs to pass the platf...

Re: Interested in a signal building group?
Hi Eddie
Sounds like a good plan we will need Jonny and Richard as well to make up the team plus all the other signals. Regarding ladders can you do two more long lengths I can then cut them up as required to fit the upper posts.
