I've just arranged for a flock of stukas to do some target practice now your saying theirs only going to a bus. Do you know just how difficult it is to organise a flock of stukas! Firstly you've got to sort out some pilots and don't mention the radio operator/rear gunners, they've got to be fed- won't get out of bed for anything less than a weirschnizzel and sourkraut I mean who eats that stuff at 5 am I ask you. So come on make up your mind is it a bus or a depot? Edited August 16, 2021 by Winslow Boy 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted August 16, 2021 Author Share Posted August 16, 2021 This morning has been S L O W, with less than 2 hours sleep for some reason un beknown to me, I feel fragile. I do know that at approximately 04-30 this morning I bought a Loco from E-Bay, so not all is bad. 1 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted August 16, 2021 Author Share Posted August 16, 2021 Into The POD after a visit to the BIG Orange Shed, of B & Q, for a sheet of 18mm MDF to make the Platforms. All will become clear in time, but as with Bitton, Pencarne Junction, Pencarne, Kings Moreton and many others I will use Peco Platform edging to form the Platform. The large lower section will be cut again on this side to form the Island Platform. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LBRJ Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 The Ratio (or is it Wills?) viaduct kit has always had quite a strong Cornish mainline look about it to me, if a kit is the way to go... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that, the problem I have with it, is that its only made to be strait, so to try and curve it, it would end up like a 50p coin, which is a great shame, as it would be perfect. 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LBRJ Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Crikey! That is some mighty structure indeed - Its got that slightly chunky look I think of as typical "limestone country" works..... Cornish ones look more "spidery" 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Build it so that the insides of the arches join up but the outsides (which won't be seen) have gaps. Real viaducts weren't curved as such, the piers were usually different widths on each side but the arches were not. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
