After much procrastination during the last 20 years I have finally decided to attempt to build a layout, It will be based on Grogley Junction in Cornwall and/or other elements of the railways in that area with a lot of "what ifs" thrown in for good measure. This blog will be a record of the projects rambling progress and hopefully an incentive to keep going. It all could be a bit of a disaster and end up in tears but if I don't give it a try I will never find out.
I will be happy to receive comments about postings or information on railway history in the area.
My Ultrascale order has arrived : P4 wheel conversion packs for a Bachmann Pannier and a Class 29. Hmmm ........ which one to tackle first.
While I am now excited by the thought of quickly having a P4 loco, I am also bathing in the success of the B7 point kit. So this evening I've made a start on the A7 kit but using wooden sleepers.
Templot template PVA'd to 3/16th balsa with the pre-stained sleepers.
Templot's sleeper spacing or the length of the point does not match the P4 Track Company's kit. Not sure that this will cause too much of a problem. I hope to be using Templot to build other points and the rest of the track so this should be a good starting point .... sorry about the pun.
All ready for tomorrow night...!
More posts will follow along with photographs hopefully in the next few days......

Hi Yan,

To match the P4 Track Co kits in Templot you need to set a generic type of V-crossing and convert to CLM unit angles.
If you ask on Templot Club I can expand on this.
Some of the P4 Track Co kits have the wrong wing rail front length and joint positions -- for more on this see this: topic on RMweb .

Martin.
