Rob. Whilst I appreciate the erudite and not-inconsequential contribution you have eloquently expounded in your espistle, I am drawn to the conclusion that expenditure on such frivolous items such as Peckett would be counterproductive to the south-westerly and Cornish ambiance I am attempting to portray.

To quote the well known leader of the Cornish Communist Party, Leon Karl 'Trotsky' Trelenin-Marx; 'A Peckett deprives no man of the power to appropriate the products of society: all that it does is to deprive him of the power to subjugate the labor of others by means of such appropriation. It has been objected, that upon the abolition of private property all work will cease, and universal laziness will overtake us.' 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted June 17, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 17, 2019 Looked at those too and almost tempted, but not for this layout, nor for Tinners. And not for either of the next two planned layouts either. Same goes for the cute tram locos - just not right for my needs. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's either the moon or your layout is set on a planet orbiting Alpha Centauri A and the light on the right is that of either it's twin star Alpha Centauri B or the slightly more distant Proxima Centauri. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted June 17, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 17, 2019 Cornwall is very much like Alpha Centuri. Or Tatooine. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to add a full cover which will remove any room lighting. Happy with the slight coldness too, as mentioned it suits a wintery day. If once you've added a lid and the glare areas persist, it might help to line the inside of the lid with Bako foil or a similar product to reflect the light. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, possibly not. I have a Peckett that I plan to convert to a (slightly overscale) representation of a Port of Par Bagnall. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted June 18, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 18, 2019 Of course, there is a Peckett in the Wheal Martyn China Clay museum, an engine which used to work in the area on the Lee Moor tramway, but that's completely by-the-by and not relevant in the slightest. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted June 18, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 18, 2019 One little Ruston would be suitable for DM4MS, far more so than a Peckett. As for Tinners, the Peckett would be too far from home base to be believable. I can't see one at The Stores ( not built yet but in planning) either. Howver, should the larger garage based split level BLT with wharf ever get built, one would look quite at home on the quayside. So do I get one now, just in case? Or wait for the Ruston 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wired in parallel to the Clipper. I have a similar arrangement on Mutton/Bleat. I have put a 'baffle' against the middle row of lights which spreads the light a bit better. Avoids 'pools' of light.
