  1. Hi Bill, I read though this thread a few days back, I do recall Pacific231G listed some kits somewhere in it. Whether they are relevant i don't know. Paul
  2. Thanks for the information David, I think, when all is said and done, I am confined by the track spacing i have, 60mm (15'). So eventually when i do build the crane, assuming 17.5ft, I may have to scale it to fit. Paul
  3. Thanks for that, I have a long way to go as yet. Are you still local? I lived in Warsash until 1970, lived in Essex since.
  4. My diorama is based loosely on this view.
  5. OK, I think your measurement is better than mine, so I'go with yours. I was measuring the wrong lines. Although it doesn't make any difference Ocean Terminal was on the White Star wharf, was just up from the QE2 wharf. Thank you for the input, much appreciated. Paul.
  6. So would I !!!! I started off at a good pace, but got bogged down with making turnout switches and the MERG control system. It is my first ever layout, so a big leaning curve. Paul.
  7. Using the google measure, I get 3.8m approx, 12.5ft. Correlating with the nearby permanent way suggest it's fairly accurate..ish. I did measure the old crane tracks at Surrey docks last month, using the iPhone measuring app, they were more like 13ft. Paul
  8. Excellent photos, thanks for posting. Paul
  9. On my version of Google the ruler is accessed with a right click on the mouse. Great little tool.
  10. Ah right, that explains it. Thanks Paul.
  11. Excellent, I didn't know there was a measuring tool, Cheers.
  12. Just odd that 99% don't work, shame..
  13. Hi all, just spent an hour or so going though the thread, I didn’t realise I was so interested in dockside cranes! Some great pictures. Unfortunately, the links to the photos didn’t work for me, my laptop is probably to blame. I’m just in the process of laying down the track for a dockside diorama based on Southampton Ocean Terminal. Although I’m a long way from building a Stothert and Pitt crane, what would be useful now though is the gauge of the S&P track. From some grainy images I have I can estimate the dimensions, be nice to know what they really are without a trip down to Southampton. Regards Paul
