The Grime Street Blog

I think the idea is good, but I also think that the system would better inside one of your model vehicles. They look much more authentic and, of course, would be more Leeds-like.

Oh yeah Peter, it'd be made 'period' and a bit less plastic.....

It looks fantastic, but you would need to be pretty clever at controlling it amongst all those other moving vehicles - over which you don't have control!

Tony, the general idea would be to put most things in to Auto mode whilst using it on the front and driven from the front...I suppose practice and marker spots would be the ideal scenario for reversing into several different spots mostly out of the way of other stuff. We shall see!

Although working the layout from the front makes it easier to talk with the public, it also means that you can be more easily distracted and can also obstruct their view.

 

Will Grime Street appear at Manchester?

It'd only be for short periods of time using the r/c vehicle and front really means side end! No way could the rest of it be operated from the front.....quite simply too much going on with vehicle interaction at the rear. Operating anything like the Wiking thing would have to be done from the front as quite simply you can't see it all from behind.

 

Manchester? Looking like 90/10 yes......after the recent setbacks! we're getting there, if we're not at 100% operationally for Manchester then I'll be making numerous apologies but we're trying....(very!)

Well... One on order... We shall see!
