Very nice work, just a shame about the graffiti on the door of the PW hut. While it may be historically accurate it would have been better left off.

RMweb Premium Kylestrome Posted March 3, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 3, 2017 I dread to think of the amount of gapping required on the sleepers to prevent shorting out or are they not copperclad sleepers. I would expect this pointwork to have been built using wood sleepers, so no gaping was required. There should be plenty of rail gaps, though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posting a photograph is almost as bad. In Germany models of that period have the offending item left blank when the remainder of the cab side insignia is depicted.

RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted March 3, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 3, 2017 Do 5-way points actually exist? I have never seen or heard of one. 4-way points are extremely rare. One well-known example was at Kemp Town, Brighton and a model of that appeared in RM early in the 1960s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs to be tipped to 45 degrees to represent the Nazi swastika. This smacks of putting your fingers in your ears closing your eyelids and pretending it didn't happen. Father was a PoW in a French concentration camp then Germany for 4 years and wanted things like this to be seen as a reminder of what can happen.

RMweb Gold martin_wynne Posted March 3, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 3, 2017 Posting a photograph is almost as bad. I posted the 5-way photograph for the trackwork. In a topic about trackwork. I have looked at that photo many times in recent years -- it is quite well known on the Scalefour forums and has appeared in magazine articles about the Clag group's Green Street layout. I have never noticed the graffiti before, and had to look quite hard to find it when it was mentioned on here. The platelayers hut was modelled in 1994 by Brian Kirby, see: http://www.clag.org.uk/green06.html Perhaps sensibilities have changed in the 23 years since then. Lots more about the layout: http://www.clag.org.uk/greenst.html Martin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium njee20 Posted March 3, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 3, 2017 Shame, we shouldn't have to pander to the professionally offended. Anyway, is there a prototype for a 5 way point?

I do not expect to read excuses for such disgusting behaviour on this forum. Bernard Disgusting behaviour? I'm surprised at this diatribe about a picture which shows a piece of craftsman. You are implying that the modeller and poster of the photograph are deliberately promoting nazi ideology by modelling piece of graffiti which was typical of its time. That for me is taking things a step too far. Do you also condemn military modellers as disgusting for portraying WW2 German vehicles accurately?
