I'm beginning to wonder if it might be some wacky "joint enterprise" malarkey that's likely to go up in a puff of smoke, sooner or later. You know the sort of thing: "Bridges - you build 'em - somebody will bash 'em!" Obviously, I could be very much mistaken - I sort of hope I am ... .

RMweb Premium Dave John Posted July 3, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 3, 2019 Magnets. Really I have a layout held together by magnets. Nudge stuff it moves. Nudge it back, no damage. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNP Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I suspect this is something we all suffer from on our layouts but have been to embarrassed to mention. It is hoped that this little thread started by our colleague, Mr Bonwick, will go some way to remove the stigma of failing to refer to items that have been 'nudged' but not noticed when a picture has been taken. My layout suffers with this a lot as most of my stock is moved by handmotion and items regularly get 'nudged' but I am now taking professional advise and the situation appears to be under control. More updates will follow. 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Tony Teague Posted July 4, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 4, 2019 I can envisage a future volume "Memoirs of a magnetic canopy nudger", or perhaps an instruction manual "Canopy nudging for the faint-hearted first-timer" 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's one of Harry Hall's alien space capsules in the distance near the home signal that has just been 'spadded'. This all reminds me of the 'joke' - 'Q. - What is the difference between a rich man, a poor man and a dead man?' 'A. - A rich man has a canopy over his bed, a poor man has a canopy under his bed and a dead man canopy.' Vary the spellings somewhat.......................

KNP Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 In order to clarify the situation regarding the time honoured tradition of canopy nudging I came across these self explanatory pictures which I have lifted from the organisation guide. This guide has been produced by N I T S, or Nudging In Tandem Society which I do believe has their annual meeting every 29th February. Their aim is catch every type of nudge, not just canopies, but anything that has been slightly moved and not spotted at the time of the picture This is a canopy nudge This is not This has fallen over..... All will be very clearly identified as their will be a large hand nearby giving a thumbs up or down!!!! Hope this has assisted and cleared up any issues you might have... 2 1 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Mick Bonwick Posted July 4, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 4, 2019 Maybe we should change the title of the topic to, "Canopy Nudging and other Embarrassing Stigmata". What else will come into the limelight, heretofore hidden away out of sight of normal folk? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
