PJBambrick Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 A new website to catch up with progress on 'Kingswear for Dartmouth' in P4. We'll expand it as the job progresses, but there's already some interesting modelling to see, and some of the research is included to provide background info. Hope you like it so far........https://kingswearinp4.weebly.com/ 16 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJBambrick Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share Posted July 8, 2020 Thanks Mick, I think we can get it finished over the next few months, six at the most. 17 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted July 8, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 8, 2020 Paul, the buildings that you have modelled are just excellent. I lived there for over 40 years and you've captured the village so well. In the first picture I recognize 'Mount Ridley', our old family home! It's great to see that it has progressed so well. I went with another member of our Devon Riviera P4 group to Witney to hurriedly dismantle and collect 'Bodmin' from that vast room. Unfortunately it hasn't survived due to heavy corrosion of the steel rail and the warping of the chipboard baseboards. The lovely buildings still exist and are now in the hands of another society member. The website is very well researched and a good read. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJBambrick Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share Posted July 8, 2020 Re6/6.... Thanks very much for your reply. Perhaps Bodmin can be re-done at some point, I'm glad the buildings were kept aside as they are such a time consuming aspect of a prototype model. Kingswear is such a distinctive setting that we had to try and get all the background in before the station & yard models are permanently installed. We are ready to start that now, and the canopy is in progress with 3D printed brackets done and fold up lattice support posts on order. There will be a news update every few weeks now, as things come together. 11 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vectispete Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Absolutely stunning modelling. You have captured the town perfectly. I look forward to seeing this progress further with the addition of the station area being added to. What space have you needed to model the area?

PJBambrick Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share Posted August 20, 2020 Hi Vectispete Thanks very much for the positive comments, I'll get Paul W to describe the space and configuration here ASAP. Heres an 'in progress' pic of the line's only scenic break..... the road surface and boundary fence still need doing, but it's nearly done.

PJBambrick Posted January 14, 2023 Author Share Posted January 14, 2023 Thanks Re6/6.... I bet that's got the best view! It's on Church Hill if I remember. This one was Carlton House in '47, without the modern add ons, it's at the northern junction of Higher St and Fore St, done in cream with blue quoins and window mouldings. The tall red brick building two houses along Higher St was a sail loft, so presumably it had no upper floor? 9 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camperdown Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Stunning. Lots to digest in the news section of the website. I like the fact that the model provides a suitable home for the best P4 stock from other modellers. I can remember seeing a P4 Kingswear --- I think it may have been called Kingsbridge, or some such ---- at Bristol in the mid 70s. Wasn't there also a 2mm Kingswear described in MRJ?

PJBambrick Posted January 16, 2023 Author Share Posted January 16, 2023 We must get round to doing some pics of the pre'47 era P4 engines soon, but they still need a little work to modernise them, and one or two still require detailing, paint & lining. The main things now are to finish the larger engines, the MV 'Alacrity' coaster, and get the footbridge built. There is a wartime 2mm Kingswear exhibition model, and there's Kingsbridge Regis. https://www.cmra.org.uk/exhib18/34.html https://www.westernthunder.co.uk/threads/wencombe-kingsbridge-regis-louville-lane.513/ John Hayes.... small prairie cab, soon to receive Modelu crew. Looking out to sea, with the far horizon, One Gun Point, St Petrox Church and Warfleet Creek to the right. 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
