Never been into N gauge much, simply because the trackwork is way too chunky. But this 2mm finescale stuff is in a different league!

Many thanks RK - yes I changed because if you make your own track and change the couplings it makes a big difference. The N wheels as supplied are a lot finer than they used to be but 2FS makes them more so.

Great layout. Hope you'll forgive me two petty points that spring to mind, in case they are helpful for you. 1. ScotRail branding was not introduced until 1985, which was some years after the Kyle line had switched to 37s. There was no ScotRail branding on coaches when class 26s routinely operated the line (though I guess they may have very occasionally substituted for class 37s in the ScotRail era). 2. I don't think mark 2 coaches were rostered on normal services north of Inverness in the blue/grey era. Kyle and Far North services were ubiquitously grotty mark 1s, often compartment stock. Mark 2s did appear in the late 80s/early 90s on a summer service to Kyle which operated for a couple of summers though they were painted in a special livery (green and cream if I recall?).

Thanks! Fair comments re the Scotrail. As I run it across 3 eras I didn’t want to have endless different coaching rakes so there is some overlap. That said there are photos on the net of early MKII’s in blue grey, mixed rakes and some AC late Mk II’s which I have tried to capture.

Thanks - Fair comments. As I run the layout across 3 eras I tried not to have rolling stock for each period to keep down costs. I have tried to base the rolling stock on photos from the internet so there are pics of both early Mk II's and AC late Mk II's in blue grey livery.

Hi, luv the sound on your Class 24's. Great driveability, are they Loksound decoders? Legomanbiffo projects?

Thanks! No the 37’s are from Digitrains and the 24/26/27 from Coastal DCC.

Sorry for the delay. 37's are Digitrains. The 24, 26 and 27 are by Coastal DCC.

Great job. I’m an n-scale modeller so just pinch me on the level of detail, especially the track work. I’ve not heard such good sound before - is this all in the locomotives?

Many thanks LH. Yes the sound is in the locos. Kevin from Coastal DCC did the class 24’s and 27 and I did the class 37’s.

for 2FS are track needed to be handlaid or can we use existing N tracks?

Sorry for the delay - you need to build your own track or use Easitrac. N gauge stock will need reheeling if built to 2FS standards
@bcnpete6855

Easitrac was used here - 2FS rolling stock won't run through N gauge turnouts - plain track should be ok though

Of course, class 27’s were a rarity too but there are photos of at least two 27’s making it to Kyle - any excuse to own one!
