Just after the bridge there is a portal to the west....

Good Afternoon Kevin,

I have a similar problem with the Relief Line junction on my temporary layout Lower Thames Goods Shed.

 

However, I have decided that trying to make the junction between the High Wycombe Branch and the Relief Lines, is just too complicated on a "quicky" layout, so my lines history is that the relief lines between Maidenhead East and Reading were never built, initially due to shortage of funds, and then Lord Maidenhead bought the land to build houses for commuters, so the relief line platforms were needed for terminating trains from Paddington!

Hence the layout has three tracks on the right hand side but only the branch on the left!

Rule 1, or what??!!

 

Cheers

Paul

Now there's a scene worthy of Kevin's superb detail modelling talents!  A selection of 1930s house furniture being unloaded.  Just an idea.

Mick,

I don't think horse racing works on the double or quits basis!!??

 

Mind you , the way things are going we will all have forgotten how any sport and the betting thereon works by the time things return to get to the new normal!

 

Never mind, just take care, keep smiling (from at least a 2 metre distance)

Best regards to you all

Paul

Although I wasn't entirely serious I've since remembered a great photo of just such a scene.  If you have access to Tim Bryan's excellent book 'A year in the life of the Great Western' have a look at p.8 showing an identical container on a GWR Scammell mechanical horse outside a terraced house in 1935 with chaps in white coats & aprons (and ties of course) unloading a kitchen cabinet from the container's back doors.  Cakebox Challenge scene?

That would be good to recreate that scene.

I've had one of those days.

The original idea seemed OK and when working on it, it looked fine.

But

Taking a picture and standing back and mulling over it....

Hmmm

It just doesn't look right

Chain to heavy - it was all I have at the moment!

Screw link - now insitu way to large

 

Somedays things don't always go as planned, funny it looked alright when working on it but standing back now......no!

To large and heavy...….

 

Back to the drawing board....
