Si,
As you should know, 50.8 mm is a non-standard, "non-preferred" metric size.
50.00 mm is the only "approved" size to replace 2", so the nail makers flog you 2" nails but snip 0.8 mm off each end directly into their bank accounts. Bring back Farage !!
For months I have been doing various impressionist drawings of how a 2 or 3 tier shelf layout might appear (maybe fools never differ) as that is my own concept. Sufficient horizontal separation between the tiers is the obvious visual/presentation problem - as yet unsolved in my case. But a major investment in U.S. supplies is due here soon so digitum extractum as we sayz down 'ere.
Regards, Michael

And on the HO tri-level, oxygen masks drop down from the cab and car celings just before level 3 is reached.
I think.

Thanks Helmut. I quite like seeing trains going round....& round....& round while I do some shunting/switching on a lower level, so I will be using a "natural" gradient/grade rather than a Stop-Go interrupted circuit. I was hoping for a bit more realism too !.
Will someone give that cigar chewing hound a light ?.
Regards, Michael

Hello Si,
"Visual Separation" - that's posh for you ! Perhaps you also design hats for Ascot ?.
Actually, I think the 'L' shape works well in separating the various elements of your original track plan. Dan's design looks good, more ops interest with his suggested run round loop. How are you at driving backuds, bunker first ? Quite usual here & in Europe but the Americans seem to hate it. Beware lumps of coal jumping out of the tender/bunker & hitting you whilst leaning out - I know !!.
Cheers, Michael

Flying coal chunks
That explains quite a few things I was wondering about---
And BTW, Gromit just prefers to gnaw on the end, Just like his master(?) who learned many years ago that a lit stogie plus 60 MPH on a motorcycle made for a very short smoke--increased draft and all that don't ya know. Now if I could just get him to spit in the cuspidor I bought him, instead of the living room carpet. Good thing that it's brown. Don't rightly remember what color it started out as---
Herbert

@Michael
we could try to talk him into employing double Fairlies
Flying lumps - that's what you get when going tender first Polish style, eh?

Herb: same long term colour scheme as your underpants then ?
Helmut: Damn right ! - lump of coal weighing probably 3-4 + lbs at about 55mph nearly knocked my brains out. Would anyone have noticed any change ?.
Regards, MICHAEL ! (Admin please note)
