Les Green Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 I stand my original post, the flag was incorrect, the rule is :- Flat Against a Surface Union Flag - If hung horizontally or vertically, the broad white diagonal should be uppermost in the top-left corner. I had noticed the flag at the front of the building but thought to comment on that would be nit picking !! A large Union Jack on the front of a layout exhibited abroad is a different matter. But otherwise a very interesting layout, I've seen it a couple of times. Incidentally I was not at Eurospoor this year, I saw the layout and the flag on You Tube coverage. Regards It looks like the flag was correct. It was just hung incorrectly! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post Steve Hewitt Posted November 18, 2017 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted November 18, 2017 A spot of maintenance...... Between our return from Utrecht, and taking the layout to Doncaster in February, a number of developments, repairs and maintenance tasks have to be completed. The nature of the layout makes access to some areas very difficult if not impossible when the whole thing is assembled. An item which benefits from better access with only the "spine" boards erected is the signal gantry at the end of Platforms 2 to 5. I took advantage of the situation on Friday to check, lubricate and adjust all twelve signals. John also took advantage of the available access to take these two shots of the gantry: Steve. 33 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumblestripe Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Just checking back in on progress and... wow. As much as anything I'm in awe of the work ethic and focus to produce something on this scale. Please excuse me if this is telling you something you already know but have you checked the aerial photographs held on https://britainfromabove.org.uk/en/image/EAW042534 This image is from 1952 and there is a higher resolution image available for purchase which may reveal details of the surrounding rooftops if nothing else. Hope this helps Keep on doing what you are doing. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

davefromacrossthepond Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 No fair using actual photographs taken at the station several decades ago. Seriously . .. . fantastic modelling indeed. Each part of that scene - structure, locomotive, coaches, platform, track, figures (heck even the weathering on the vehicle tires!) etc etc - are masterpieces in their own right . . added up? WOW!

Didn't all the pre-grouping Pullmans stay in Scotland? if not, it would be great to know where else they ran if only to give a bit of variation in my own layout colours Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post Steve Hewitt Posted December 20, 2017 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2017 Recent progress....... Since we brought the layout back from Utrecht, John has only had the main "spine boards" erected. This has enabled a lot of scenic work to be done on the rear platforms, some of which you might have glimpsed in the background of Les's postings. John has made the Platform Gates for Platforms 2 & 3: The N/S etches were made by Les whilst he was making the Roof, if I remember correctly. Once they were completed, it was time for Peter Goss to make another visit with a crowd of passengers: I hope they all get home in time for Christmas. Best wishes from all the Lime Street Crew, and hopefully we'll see many of you during 2018. Remember, we're exhibiting at Doncaster, Newcastle and Warley next year. Steve. 55 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
