(...) The brits did all kinds of things...islands, and ones on both sides. "my" station in OO had 2 platforms, one for each track (Long Marton, S&C). A lot of the terminuses had 2 tracks side by side, then platform, so only one side of the train (...) (25 years ago, 16-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) That large station rocks! The paired station tracks with the large platforms are neato. The platforms may be a bit wide, but using the large pieces is the only way to go, the mind boggles at the number of gray plates and bricks that would be (...) (25 years ago, 16-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

The really old ie blue track 4.5V used the old battery box, with the lever on top, rather than on the lower side. Train sets number 116, 120 and 127 (is the same as 116) use the battery box I believe you are refering to. The design for the coal (...) (25 years ago, 16-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

I wonder if anyone could help me. Did they all have the dedicated cab with three holes for the batteries or did any use the 4.5v battery box with the lever switch ? I have motorised a 7715 with a 4.5 volt motor and wonder if there is a design for (...) (25 years ago, 16-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)
