I’ll try and dig out that documentary if it’s on YouTube No chance I'm afraid. Everything I did for the BBC Computer Literacy Project is currently available from the BBC and I do sometimes see other bits of my work and even whole programmes on YouTube but only from the late 1980s onward. I've not been able to find any of the shorts, like the ROC film, that I made around the early 1980s for BBC South. They were shot and cut on reversal film, transmitted straight off telecine into a live broadcast and never transferred to tape. They may still exist in an obscure film library (though I doubt it) and, even when I wanted one of them- an interview with a veteran of Ypres- for a BBC WW1 project a few years ago, I could find no record of it at all let alone the film itself. I'm afraid that television is very ephemeral and I can't even remember making some of the stuff that had my name on the end; that may of course be a blessing!

danstercivicman Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share Posted February 26, 2019 Not a great deal happening. Tomorrow should see the start of the U section and fiddleyard. Just doing sing some minor scenic work creating what will be a disused storage area behind the linkspan. It needs some scrap to make it look messier and the wall around it partitions the end of the pier into the land mass on the harbour side. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tons of these motors. Take it apart. Do not allow the brush springs or brushes to run away. Give a good clean. Put it back together and lightly oil the main bearing, the gears and axles. Then disassemble the trailing bogie, give the axles and the bearing surfaces a clean. Remember to put it back the right way or the motor won't get any electrickerty. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll give it a try Meanwhile I’ve been experimenting and made a field... I cant find where I put my ballast??? I’ve weathered the road abit as I imagine cattle would have been herded down it from the linkspan to the lairage. The entrance of which is just off scene behind the blue car in the foreground. That’s also the entrance to the small goods area and milk transfer equipment. The lairage will be next to the track in the foreground. I’ll print some brick paper and finish the wall over the next few days. Edited February 26, 2019 by danstercivicman Spelling again 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the CD motor is just smoother. It takes the place of the old one and just gives smoother operation. I’ll try servicing mine first as Clive said.

That's a lovely back end of a ferry hanging off the wall there . Recognisable as Caledonian Princess . One you paint superstructure on back scene should be pretty convincing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm yes after it goes past the first 90 degrees otherwise true to prototype... It would then turn towards the wall join the lines from Stranraer town, the engine shed and the goods yard with the carriage sidings off to its right Otherwise I’d need another loft to extend into Edited February 28, 2019 by danstercivicman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
danstercivicman Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 I am considering using some arches here? There was was an embankment but I’m not sure what it looked like. There will I’ll be a space for loco storage. There will be five roads in the fiddleyard. There are are only two (max three) long trains so that should cope... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
danstercivicman Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 Well. Early morning operating sessions show the need for more fiddleyard! I’ve got some space left so the eventual plan will be to extend this and have a loco turntable at the end? I have also also found that I will need to add a couple of isolating sections to all the Hunslet to remove stock. With the DMU being out of action I also need to keep a road free in the Harbour Station to permit the tank engine to run round. So much to do!
