RS Tower modules blog…

After some great feedback on our chosen method of modular railroading, both with RS Tower at Exeter and operating as a “standalone” switching layout at Gillingham, a separate sister blog for the RS Tower modules has been launched at http://rstowerfreemo.wordpress.com/
Neil Rogers will be handling updates on that side of things – expect some changes on [...]

After the Exe Show – thoughts…

Well the Exeter show has been and gone, the only “proper” exhibition outing in 2009 (we hope to have more for 2010 to tell you about soon!) – although we are considering doing another “open house” later in the year to keep our hand in – i’m interested in feedback on that, anyone want to [...]

Progress, Show Reminders & Videos…

Yes, another one of my horribly infrequent updates! The layout is up and running again – here’s a bit of proof…

Housekeeping…

Just a quick note to let you all know that a few pages have been updated – the Module Specifications page now has full details including a couple of diagrams, and photo’s and further info have been added to the pages for Neil Rogers’ Dale Yard and Oakdale modules.

Another show outing…

Neil Rogers’ “Oakdale” and “Dale Yard” modules attended the Shaftesbury and Gillingham show at the weekend. Oakdale being used as the layout and Dale Yard being split to form a pair of fiddle yards.
 The layout was operated ‘all sound’ for the weekend which seems to have gone down well with the public attending.
 Neil has posted [...]

More on Modules…

Just a quick post to say that i’ve started adding photo’s and info on the modular system we’re developing, the ‘module info’ link at the top of the page will get you into that section and the page menu on the right of every page will let you jump directly to any of the sub-pages.
So [...]

Modular Mission – the reprise…

Whilst the main layout is not due to get it’s launch till June, (see our Exhibitions page for details) – the first of the add-on modules gets it’s debut outing much sooner.
