carl1967 Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 Hi Carl, Thanks for that. I am extending the base board out by 1.6m. This should give me 20cm or so between the bow and the wall/rafters. Heb will then be 'stern in' following the line of the railway. The width of the linkspan is going to be 12cm. Height of linkspan ramp from sea is going to be 2cm. Length of ramp between Harbour wall and end 15cm. What do you think? cheerio Mike hi mike i think that will do the trick m8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl1967 Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 Hi again Carl, Just thought I'd let you know I'm not watching this thread at all. Not even going to look at a single pic. How can you keep doing this to me? Cheers, Dave Waverley West (Stunning pics by the way. Coming along very nicely indeed. Not that I'm looking at all mind) hi dave nice one m8 i am so sorrry for torturing you so!!!!......NOT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clagmeister Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Thanks for that, it looks more Calais than Port Askaig though! Was the photo of Isle of Arran reversing into Port Askaig yours? Can't get onto the old rm to look at it. How do we get parts of the old rm on here? Not sure. Port Askaig is what I'm aimimg at, especially as the stern of Heb is so low. Mast and bridge looking awesome. cheerio Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shortliner Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Parked up in Tesco Superstore car park in Inverness this morning, and was greeted by the sight of an orange and green Caledonian Macbrayne Duple coach driving towards me, obviously privately owned and treasured - shame I didn't have the camera with me. It might even have been this one http://images.google...sa%3DN%26um%3D1 at the bottom of the page Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uses a car battery. Has a pipe band playing. full lighting, smoke from stack and ships siren. Can't be that authentic, she dosn't seem to have run aground or collided with anything... I'm very impressed with the cal-mac model, I quite fancy a train ferry, and this is really not helping,.. Jon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clagmeister Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I'll interested to see how you do all those. I will hopefully be making a start on the harbour extension in a week or 2. Will post pics on this site when I get them. I don't have a Caolisport thread now, I don't like the new blog thingy, its clumsy. Have you thought about exhibiting your skills, with a suitable layout? cheerio Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
