  5. i saw some photo's of these as i was borwsing ... kent photo arhive very strange http://www.kentphotoarchive.com/kpa/search/thumblarge.php?townkeywordname=&featurekeywordname=RAILWAY&startnumber=273&pagenumber=14
  6. I draw for my printer, i know its tolarances, failure points, etc.. i think with right design, drawing, and printer, you can get a very reasonable result. But some many people come to me with big miss understanding of 3d printers, mainly not wanting to wait 24hrs + for it to fininsh (if you know this you plan for it and dont do 24hr test prints etc.. ) and the other one is i work in a achitectual company and people think they can scale down a 1:1 building and go print.. and don't like it when i say nope you need to redraw it for the printer.. (what works in water colours wont allwasy work in oils) its a different medium.. and i also like you lot see loads of badly drawn (usually incorrect proportios, or just not quite right) 3d models.. but i aslo see some WOW thats well drawn, CAD is a skill thats why we get paid ..
  7. you lot might like these (if not seen) http://www.kentphotoarchive.com/kpa/search/index.php?townkeywordname=&featurekeywordname=RAILWAY&pagenumber=1 and mmmm
  8. A frien showed me a site Kent Photo Archive cause he was looking for a street.. but his search showed some now ad then of maidstone west station.. so i did a search for railwasys some nice photos.. from all ages http://www.kentphotoarchive.com/kpa/search/index.php?pagenumber=2&townkeywordname=&featurekeywordname=RAILWAY
  9. looking good.. and by the way managd to get a photo of that reveled old shop sign,,,
  10. Saw this and thought i should point it out for those here, but there are some lovely then and now photos of Maisdstone Station(s) might be worth a look for other referance EG: http://www.kentphotoarchive.com/kpa/maidstone/thumblarge.php?maidstone=8&startnumber=318&pagenumber=17 but here is a link to search for all photos taged railway http://www.kentphotoarchive.com/kpa/search/index.php?townkeywordname=&featurekeywordname=RAILWAY&pagenumber=1 for example
  11. this series on Beb 2 is worth a watch. lots of oooo i could build one of those https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0bsrqky/pubs-ponds-and-power-the-story-of-the-village-series-1-1-east-midlands
  12. and its good to twist perspective and have a hill climbing up away from railway line into a town/village . so crap drawing time.. say road infront of shops climed (right to lef) up toward the town square (in that station road way) that would have been promant in the town and usually higher ground. but best thing to remeber is that more than likley the town was there before the railway in some way at least in part. so land and alignment wont allways respect the rail line what are the two buildings on the left (a school, vilage hall church? ) can re draw it better if complx
  13. Spot on. just the info needed (esp running details) i like the look of the class 205 DEMU and being DE not just E would negate need third rail complete track. (win) many thnaks great info as i expected
  14. that can make them echo alot, as acts as a sound board. i found lowering voltage can help. and also getting right one with gear ratio to suit.. took 3 diferernt ones to find right one for beam engine and thats running at 20% max speed.. 100% is noise as f....
  15. can i ask about DMU, EMU and DEMU's as want to by one at some point prefer 3 and or 4 car versions which is best runner/detail etc...? looking around 1960's ish (not tied to region stuff etc, but green, as asumne they were never crimsion) I know a EMU would meen third rail but that's not (he says atm) a problem
  16. shame they have not digatised this one yet http://www.yorkshirefilmarchive.com/film/derwent-valley-light-railway
  17. I did some diging.. and that line wasn't around for long was it .. not in 1909 map and gone by 1988.. mmm will keep diging as i find this sort of thing fun.. (i know strange)
