On Video: Fiddle sticks for operation…
In yesterday’s blog I shared the latest of my cameo layout builds. This project however, basically a motive power depot with off stage stations is perhaps a useful analogy for others and the design of fiddlestick may suit others considering similar operation…
In this (shorter) video I talk about how the operation works, and demonstrate the simplicity of the cameo box design. I hope even if you’re not building a layout it’s entertaining - my apologies for talking into the sun, and the sudden ending (someone was coming down the drive!). Normal blog service will resume tomorrow, until then, more soon..,

I love writing and creating material for the blog. If you enjoy what you read and engage with I would be appreciative of any donation, large or small, to help me keep it advert and restriction free.
Hi James
ReplyDeleteI looked at both your recent videos and enjoyed them both. I think the "fiddlestick" idea with turnout rather than just plain track is an interesting and would certainly add to operation. I imagine it would work as well in other scales. What is your thoughts for H0 or 00n4. -is there a maximum size for the "stick do you think?
Best regards
Alan
Hi Alan, I’ve build big fiddle sticks before now, which are really just shelf based - self supporting is much harder but it’s possible, just needs considering during design.
