Calshot 4mm - SRS's Blog

First six appear to have no railway content?

Firstly, thanks all for your input!

Jamie, that is correct - they were drawn just to get the compositions of the buildings. The track is likely to be a balloon loop with a triangle for the narrow gauge and a couple sidings for the standard gauge. It would be the same for every design. Apologies for not making it clearer.

 

A couple good points have been raised already which is really helpful - Thanks Tom for your view especially.

 

Keep those votes coming. If I'm still undecided by the end I'll have to really sit down and think of a new design with the best features of the previous designs.

But I'm not sure which, if any, to go for! (Sound familiar? ).

 

Nothing new under the Sun!

 

Oh so true!

I went for 1 and 3 which when I looked "felt" more like Calshot to me.

Thanks Peter - this poll is bringing up some interesting points, of which I will summarise:

 

There are various thought processes:

 

1) What design captures the essence of the prototype

2) What design looks less cluttered and is pleasing to the eye

 

I see no one has been brave enough for option 9!
