Hi Andy,

 

Thanks - just rechecked the deadline this morning...

 

1 October 2011....that's just over 4 months with my math...I think there may be some Factor 50 modelling occuring this summer in bcn

Yup. Seems like strange timing - most peeps are doing other things at this time of year. Maybe they are trying to encourage participation in the southern hemisphere?

 

I was also wondering where the dimensions came from - is there any good reason for them (e.g. fits into/onto some well known object like an Ikea shelf)?

 

Still... hasn't stopped me turning an idea over in my mind though, but since South Yard is smaller than the challenge size and has been unfinished for about 10 years now, I wouldn't have much hope of turning out something from scratch in 4 months.

 

Maybe if I went for 16mm scale instead... one of my locos is about 20 inches long.... hmm... Sandy River shed scene with real steam?

 

Are Ikea shelves fireproof?

 

Regards, Andy

Sorry Andy - don't know much about Ikea shelves

 

Go on though...you know you want to make an entry...what else is there to do in the summer?...

Andy - I thought it was 20 x 11 as it was 2011...nothing more than that...I think
