Looking forward to it...

Very neat - nice action to the signal - just don't forget you can now close the gates in the heat of exhibition operating...

Very neat Chris, I can already imagine the type of mechanics you have used. I look forward to taking a peak on Saturday.

Now THAT is cool! That looks superb, well done.

Cheers! I've just swapped the vid over to a PAL version, I was messing about with different formats. Usual Youjerkytubeness not present on my uncompressed master as usual.

SWMBO has expressed a desire to see 'what all the fuss is about' therefore we will find ourselves driving up from the West Country to see for ourselves.

 

Many thanks for the constant inspiration..

Will there be a working Crossing keeper too? Seriously though I am a great fan of your work - very inspirational

Very neat Chris - modelling and video!

 

The Youjerkytubeness is really annoying. I'm working on a video at the moment and testing shows that some of the finer nuances of the action gets more or less lost. I have heard that Vimeo is better, but I haven't tried it yet, and am not sure if RMweb supports their embed code. http://vimeo.com/

Eee! That's reet nice that is.

P.S. (Whispers) Can I peek under your drapes when no ones looking please?

DerekA - don't drive too far, it's only 5 feet scenic and with the price of petrol not alot of feet for the cost:

Very nice work indeed.

I think everybody would be interested in knowing how you did it,especially for those who can't get to see it in the flesh.

Steady,... steady!

 

Yes, an Official Spokesman will be making an Official Announcement about the line-up for Taunton next April, but as you can see, someone has leaked something to the press!

I do like the gates, Chris, from what you describe, it sounds a bit like what I've got on both BHR and CL...

 

And, as for forgetting to open them to rail movements - well, just don'! (forget, that is...). One of my operators once forgot on BHR, and we saw the results of a whitemetal loco footplate hitting the delicate innards of a semi-scratchbuilt gate - it wasn't pretty, nor was my language when I found out!!

I did, with just 5 mins to go before the doors shut last weekend. They simply bend. Easily fixed - this time, I bent the gate back.
