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.
Two metre-gauge examples of this class were originally built for the Soviet Army and ended up in the Industriebahn Halle in 1965 where they were used to shunt the sidings. They had numbers Kö 6501 and 6502. The first was initially used from 1963 to 1965 in Barth on the Franzburg lines. The technically identical locomotives only differed in ...
In HO (3.5 mm) scale Firedrake Productions produced a small run of 20 kits. Darstaed, a model train company in Great Britain, produced O gauge tintype models of the LMS Fowler Class 3F, affectionately referring to them by the nickname of Jinty [7] Dapol has produced a Jinty for the O gauge market which was released in September 2017 [8]
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.
H0e scale. A pizza layout is a model railway laid out as a circle of the smallest workable radius of curve, on the smallest possible square or circular baseboard. This baseboard can be so small as to look as if it would fit into a pizza box, hence the name. [1] [2] [3] Pizza layouts are not serious scale models, but are to provide a little humour.
Thus the scale and approximate prototype gauge are represented, with the model gauge used (9 mm for H0e gauge; 6.5 mm for H0f gauge) being implied. [ 2 ] The scales used include the general European modelling range of Z, N, TT, H0, 0 and also the large model engineering gauges of I to X, including 3 + 1 ⁄ 2 , 5, 7 + 1 ⁄ 4 and 10 + 1 ⁄ 4 ...
