I love this little company and the way they do things. Keep at it!

For my diorama project, I used Google Earth images with vehicles of the actual location to gauge the road width. A bit of simple Maths gave me accurate to prototype location road dimensions 😀

Yep a very sensible way to do it 👍

chapter 8 traffic management, which is downloadable as a pdf, is the definitive definition for roads and road markings.

Very good tutorial covering widths. Luke Towan has to be the best I've seen at detailing and weathering road surfaces 👍🏻

Thank you

A channel on here, Auto Shenanigans, actually visited that street in Bristol. A steep one in Wales is Constitution Hill, Swansea. And don't get started about Broom Road, Kirkcaldy, in Fife!

Very informative and enjoyable, I just halve everything for N gauge.

Thank you. Yes you can just half everything. But I’ll try and put a table up for quick reference for N gauge too.
