It will need some more and then the Wall Mortar and High Tide water line. That is going to have to be a well executed hand brake turn the driver of the Anglia will have to make going down the ramp to the beach. 1 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm looking forward to see how the 4 x 4's manage with a Jet Ski and Trailer reversing down there 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted October 6, 2021 Author Share Posted October 6, 2021 Nice delivery this morning from Anyscale Models https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/anyscalemodels/ thanks to a tip off from Stu, @Stubby47 on his Trelothen Thread. I now have some Boats for the Harbour, although one has sunk already, some bollards for around the Quay and some Electric Cabinets for the Lineside. Plus a couple more I forgot to photograph. 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As many of 'em can't even properly park one of their 'tanks' in the average car park I suspect their trailer reversing abilities won't amount to much. 4 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted October 6, 2021 Author Share Posted October 6, 2021 I then did the Bridge over the River Wenn. I found a couple of bits of angle Plastruct and made it into a U section to look like a Girder, and then used a Wills Varigirder Kits for the top bit. 16 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold simonmcp Posted October 6, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 6, 2021 Whilst in Golant (on the Lostwithiel to Carne Point, Fowey) line once, some not so clever person had left his car across the line whilst he launched his boat. A passing 37 managed to bend the car so that the headlights and rear lights were almost facing the same direction. 1 2 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough, I did consider a Level Crossing here, (see pic below) but would need more wiring and Signals, although the approach from the left would be controlled by the Station Starter and to the right, by a Signal the other side of the short, (think Dawlish) Tunnel. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first read that Andy, I some how in my mind did not see the 'some' word after 'one has sunk already' ... and then misread the next ... the whole experience suggested it had gone wrong ... then I re-read it and realised you were talking bollards about the quay! Sorry, I mean bollards for the quay ... oops! Those boats (sunken or otherwise) look good before being painted. I presume they are 3D prints?

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted October 7, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 7, 2021 Ah you heading towards the Farnham show (at Aldershot) this coming weekend Andy? Might be a bit too far from Pompey-ish land but it's usually a good show with a decent cuppa if the catering is working as normal. Three of us RMweb types are intending to on the Sunday as we think Saturday might be rather hectic. https://farnhammrc.org.uk/?page_id=158 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll PM you Fri or Sat if I decided to go, and it would really be great to put a face and Voice to a name and have a chat over coffee and cake. I'll be in touch either way. Cheers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
