RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted June 6, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 6, 2018 I am now almost at the stage where track laying and general layout work can commence. This afternoon the almost-completed main baseboard was put up in the location where the work will be done and the positioning of the pointwork and track worked out, including the important location for the overbridge and the track into the fiddle yard: Next will be the cutting of the access hole in the end panel, to allow the track to get into the fiddle yard and then track laying can start, initially with the tandem turnout and the track across the board joint into the fiddle yard, which will then be disc-cut when laid, to ensure a good, even join. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted June 8, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 8, 2018 (edited) Would the wing walls end in short pillars, rather than going in to the ground at an angle ? eg : http://modelshop-portsmouth.co.uk/product/wills-ss59-brick-tunnel-mouth-wing-walls/ Edited June 8, 2018 by Stubby47 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted June 29, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 29, 2018 Not much progress to report of late, but I have, however,spray painted the overbridge. I used Halfords Matt Black for the girders and red oxide for the brickwork. The brickwork will now be brush-painted in proper, orangey brick colours with the capping stones picked out in Engineers Blue and a mortar colour added. The girders will be weathered and the rest of the brickwork given some weathering too. This is what it looks like in 'pristine' condition at the moment: 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim V Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Well, I like the rivets/bolts on your girder bridge, but can't see where you detail how you did them? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Siberian Snooper Posted June 29, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 29, 2018 Well, I like the rivets/bolts on your girder bridge, but can't see where you detail how you did them? Somewhere, I think there was a mention of Archers rivets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is your version of reality virtually complete? Or maybe it really is a virtual girder bridge. Please let us know . . . . . . . Well, you've got me thinking. Conceptually, we could be talking about something that is aesthetically almost finished, but not quite complete in a figurative sense. On the other hand, I doubt whether we can consider the notion of Art in any context that withholds any subjective consideration of the completeness or incompleteness of things. It is tantamount to postulating a semi-confirmation in complete juxtaposition to a partial denial and as such, I demand to see the Quinoan ambassador.

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted July 28, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 28, 2018 Yes, perhaps I shouldn't bring the bridge back out of its temporary shoe box home, until I've got the brick-coloured enamels out and am prepared to use them! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
