I refuse to be drawn into this. I will only make one contribution.

I guess this must be the 'P' Class . . . . . ?
I thank you. . . .
I was going to do that. You've spoilt it all, now.

I didn't want to encourage him.

I thought I would dip in to see what Mr Bonwick gets up to.
I should have known better. The place is bonkers, in a nice sort of way.
Thank you, Tony. I think it's more to do with the *artici*ants than the *lace.

There's no need to a*ologise, Chris. It's all a bit of fun, and helps to create some lightheartedness to relieve the stresses of the *andemic.
I've now found my dictionary and will start reading the section that starts with a *.

Recently finished painting the backdrop using oil paints. I call it 'after the rain'.

It's just a bit of retaliation.
Shame there's no 'P' in that.

These are the first test pics using the new lighting set up. Much more powerful then my pelmet lights, so really useful addition to the family.
Pathetic pelmets? Photofloods preferred for photographic perfection.

Perhaps plainly put? Presumptuous, possibly.

Now that the second kink has been removed and the sleepers repositioned correctly, see if you can spot Pete.

Well, @spikey, how did you get on?

I'm guessing the wires don't impede the movement of the blades, as the wires are soldered so near to the hinges.
You guessed correctly. In that position there's hardly any movement at all.
35 minutes ago, Stubby47 said:Do you cover the wire holes to stop ballast falling down ? (Brown tape / masking tape / etc).
Although the drilled holes are (slightly) larger than the wire diameter I have found that the ballast is not too adventurous and stays put. There's no reason why you shouldn't use protection, though.

Can I ask why you didn't use the stock rail bonding wire as the dropper wire as well ?
I know you fit it as one wire across all 4 rails and then snip the unwanted ends and middle, but is there a reason you didn't use black/red wires and only join the two rails each side ?
I am about to start to modify 'my' (
) points and need clarification I'm not going to c*ck things up.
It's quite simple, really. I didn't think of it!
It would be 2 fewer holes to drill, certainly.
The two wires soldered to the blades are to remove the dependency on the pivot arrangement to pass current to the blades. I have known that joint to get bunged up with stuff. Technical jargon.

How does it compare, in your eyes, to the photograph you used as a refefrence? In my experience, realism comes from copying the real thing.
Is your rust too orange?
Does the dirt really run down the sides like that?
Is the inside a uniform colour?
You may well be able to be your own critic if you use a reference source that shows all the necessary detail.

If you haven't already done it, I strongly recommend trying that out on a plank of wood before you commit to it.
