Inglenook Sidings, created by Alan Wright (1928 - January 2005), is a model railway train shunting puzzle.It consists of a specific track layout, a set of initial conditions, a defined goal, and rules which must be obeyed while performing the shunting operations.
Train shunting puzzles, also often called railway shunting puzzles or railroad switching puzzles, are a type of puzzle. Shunting puzzles usually consist of a specific track layout, a set of initial conditions (typically the starting place of each item of rolling stock ), a defined goal (the finishing place of each rolling stock item), and rules ...
Timesaver is a well-known [1] model railroad switching puzzle (U.K. English: shunting puzzle) created by John Allen. [2] It consists of a specific track layout, a set of initial conditions, a defined goal, and rules which must be obeyed while performing the shunting operations.
This gauge is represented by the EM Society (in full, Eighteen Millimetre Society). 00 track (16.5 mm) is the wrong gauge for 1:76 scale, but use of an 18.2 mm (0.717 in) gauge track is accepted as the most popular compromise towards scale dimensions without having to make significant modifications to ready-to-run models. Has a track gauge ...
00-9 'pizza' layout, Starbottom Lane by Richard Glover. Railway modelling has long used a variety of scales and gauges to represent its models of real subjects. In most cases, gauge and scale are chosen together, so as to represent Stephenson standard gauge.
The model is powered by a small, 12 V "HP motor" of the same type as used in Scalextric slot cars, as well as the Hornby models of the British Rail Class 06 and GWR 101 Class. As a result, the locomotive has drawn complaints from some hardcore railway modellers that the motor is too fast for the engine to be realistic, with poor low-speed ...
British railway modelling of this period was almost entirely OO gauge [citation needed]. Typical small model railways were based on a notional GWR rustic branch line terminus, with small locomotives and sparse timetables. [5] Minories was an opportunity to model the more vibrant urban traffic, but without requiring a great deal of space.
The first proper development of small shunting locomotives in the GDR was the V 10 B, which was further developed into class V 15. A plan – similar to the one of DB – to build a series of more powerful Köf III was subsequently discarded and replaced by the DR class V 60 project. The DB later developed a Köf III with up to 240 hp (180 kW).
