Buhar Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 For those wanting their View New Content page, this is what I've done:- Select the Activity Stream > Content I follow Then within that, under the heading “Show Me”, select “Content Items Only” Under “Following” select “Content items I follow” Under sorting “Newest first” Select the Condensed version of the view I’ve pinned that to my Taskbar (Windows 10) as I haven’t found the way back to that view from within a topic. I’m OK with the new arrangements, except for the recurring pop-up telling me the site wants to send me notifications. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click on the bell upper right, click on "notification settings" and turn off "a new notification when new content is posted" and also "Send me news and information". What bugs me is there is now no choice to have an E-MAIL NOTIFICATION sent to you immediately, only an e-mail once a day of activity in a thread, or a pop-up notification immediately (which is just annoying). That e-mail was one of the most helpful things on RMWeb and I cannot see that its available now. If someone has worked out a way to get it working, please share! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin S-C Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I didn't so much as complete any model related work while RMW was offline , I actually broke something in two. I discovered that Peco will sell the end handles/supports separately but the bad news is the price is £4 each. Not £4 a pair, but each handle. A pity. I bought a few but not as many as I need. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Donw Posted February 2, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 2, 2019 Surely if you had an email everytime there was a post on CA it would drive you crazy we have been running at 50 to 100 posts a day I think. £4 a handle does seem pricey but how long would it take to make your own?

Suggest these saloons are duel fitted so that they can go off system via either the GE or the MGN. I take it you have plans for these vehicles ..... ! Working with digital modelling the notion of a plan or drawing can be a bit strange since texture parts are made to fit the 3D body mesh so the appearance can be quite distorted when seen laid out flat, but this is the base coach litho artwork I started with which could be easily used as a plan. And this is a coach end lifted out from the actual coach texture piece. Please bear in mind that this artwork piece is stretched into place on the 3D mesh so should be only used as a guide to appearance. The sizing of the 3D coach mesh I use is based on a pre-grouping GWR arc roof coach, but I don't actually know which one since the mesh was given to me as a 'something to help you out' gift by one of the members of the creator group I belong to. And yes James these coaches are dual fitted, - or at least on my little trainset they are since I can plug in all kinds of piping things into the ends of the coach underframe using magical script incantations.

RMweb Premium corneliuslundie Posted February 2, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 2, 2019 If any of you want the information Ii currently have drawings of quite a number of GWR saloons - first and third class, invalid etc. They are from Diagram books, originally mostly blueprint copies of the originals. a sample attached.

sem34090 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I know that this has been posted in my thread, and will be posted elsewhere, but I've begun work on some coaches for the little layout and, being freelance-ish and pre-grouping I thought that patrons of this thread might like to see one of them: See my thread for more details! 5 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sem34090 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I'm afraid to say that it's a steel solebar! Not too hard to make into a wooden one though. The chassis is a standard Bachmann one as used under ex-Mainline wagons. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wild boar would have had to make for high ground... We continue onwards towards the next station, Wittersham Road, through marshlands collectively known as the Rother Levels. To the right a series of channels dug at right angles to the railway were used to farm crayfish - the terrain generally is very wet and until comparatively recently was subject to frequent flooding. quoted from https://www.kesr.org.uk/component/content/category/103-about As I understand it in use from early 1900 to WWII Nick 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it the higher buffer beam is due to fitting 14mm Maunsell style wheels? corneliuslundie - thank you for that lovely drawing of the GW 6-wheel family saloon. Something akin to that would make a nice directors saloon for the NM&GS. I may need to abuse some more cheapie plastic coaches and a 6-wheel kit underframe from somewhere. annie - those are super coaches. How I wish it were possible to churn out real world 4mm models at the pace you can make virtual stuff. I envy your chosen medium sometimes! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sem34090 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Interestingly the wheels are Bachmann wagon wheels... May see if I have any smaller ones - Would a coach ever have spoked wheels? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin S-C Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Yes, but only long ago in a universe far, far away. I think you'd have to go back to the 1830s or 1840s to find spoked wheels on a passenger vehicle. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
