Alcanman Posted June 11, 2011 Author Share Posted June 11, 2011 Thanks for the comments guys, much appreciated. Looks like Alcanwoman will be have to be official videographer for Palmetto. Now I'm off to the Metro Centre, when I'd rather be at TVNAM ! Well, at least there's Modelzone for consolation. regards, Mal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcanman Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 Hi, Well it may have been Summer Solstice yesterday but it's probably the worst time of the year for taking pics of Palmetto. The sun simply sails over the roof of the house without bothering to peek in and provide lots of light needed for those bright Florida skies. Low winter sun seems to provide the best photo opportunities as Palmetto is bathed in warm Florida sun. Despite the lack of bright natural light, I just had to take some pics as I've bought a new camera. Also, I was looking at my screensaver pic and noticed that my GP40-2 had a couple of small holes above the cab windows for fixing sunshades. I'd completely overlooked them! So now with Sunshades attached, and sunny Florida skies here's a couple of pic of #6351 switching reefers at the food processor. Mal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilM Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Mal possibly daft question, but as someone who has done it, can you tell me how do you join Wills corrugated sheets end to end. The "bar" that is provided is much wider than the corrugationson the sheets - or is that prototypical? Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcanman Posted July 16, 2011 Author Share Posted July 16, 2011 Hi Phil, The sections were simply butted to each other and glued. IIRC I glued the 'bar' to the back of the sections to strengthen the joint. Here is a pic of the blue 'Wills' warehouse, you can see the join immediately to left of the freight door. But, Hey, I'm showing up the flaws in my modelling skills! regards, Mal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broadoak Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Hi Mal, As you know I'm new on here but have thoroughly enjoyed reading this thread. I think it is a cracking layout, very subtle and realistic looking. Some superb photos as well. Regards Peter M Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAL 'O THE WYND Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I'm excited by this, Mal. I've fancied an American switching layout for years. I've got one *loco, four box-cars, a couple of very large hoppers (all this stuff is put away and I haven't looked at it for years, and some other bits 'n pieces). And the other day at my local model-shop where I'm a good customer, the gaffer gave me four Wren point-levers he'd come across in buy he'd made. (He does a load of dead persons stuff, sadly). They're brilliant and cost a tenner each on ebay. *The loco looks rather like your profile machine and it's a faultless runner. Happy thoughts, Hal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
