81A Oldoak Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Thanks very much Derby65, a lot slower than my normal build, but still very enjoyable. But still much, much faster than my glacial pace of construction. I keep getting distracted by other things e.g. volunteering to build two 7mm scale lattice post signals for our club's layout. Having only built GWR wooden and tubular post signals, I expect them to a bit more of a challenge. I am also trial-building two new laser-cut kits for a couple of manufacturers and must finalise the livery artwork for the Minerva Manning Wardle K Class.

Chris your a busy Boy by the sounds of it, but I hope you won't be to busy to watch the next Video with the Minerva Pannier on the Local Goods, and doing a spot of shunting.

RMweb Gold sjrixon Posted May 18, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 18, 2018 You are very adept at driving the trains and filming at the same time. I've tried a couple of times and quite honestly failed. Either the film is static all in one place, or I drive trains into the buffers because I'm looking at the camera!

Cheers Scott, I've done both, and a lot of editing to remove some rather unsavoury language at time. hahha. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachmann Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Cheers Scott, I've done both, and a lot of editing to remove some rather unsavoury language at time. hahha. Editing is the bit i have not. Friend PGH had an editing suite on his windows 8 so when he upgraded to 10, it transferred over. But I had windows 10 from new and so us poor suckers cannot access the editing suite 'cos 10 doesn't support it. Go figure. But I can see from your movies it makes a world of difference being able to cut, splice and dub, something I was well used to in Hi-8 video days when I had an S-VHS editing deck. I couldn't help but notice some jumping on two of your points. What is the cause of this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Rowsley17D Posted May 18, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 18, 2018 I couldn't help but notice some jumping on two of your points. What is the cause of this? Ballast stuck between running rails and check rails? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jumping on the Points was a combination of stay cats BALLAST, and one of the Point Drop thingies hadn't sat down fully. I've been out since 9-30 and running the Minerva slowly over all the areas, digging out stray Ballast and a full clean up and vacuum. EDIT = to say that the entrance board wasn't level either, only noticed that this morning. Edited May 18, 2018 by Andrew P 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 Ballast stuck between running rails and check rails? spot on, I dug some out from an area the other day, but didn't vacuum it up, and so it found another area to hide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 At last, the Minerva Pannier on the Mixed Goods from yesterday. On this one there is a lot of glare from the Sun coming through the windows as it was late afternoon. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 How did you overcome the time taken to upload videos Andy? Hi Ray, I downloaded as You Tube, instead of the normal recommended and it reduced the size of the file by about 50%, and although still slow, it's a lot better. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
