Jaz Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 got so excited about the the Safari vehicles cars,buses, and even trains........back....to the seal....... https://www.google.com/search?newwindow=1&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=types+of+seals+and+sea+lions+scotland&oq=types+of+seals+and+sea+lions+scotland&gs_l=img.3...548239.550284.0.550858.9.9.0.0.0.0.173.1301.0j9.9.0.msedr...0...1c.1.61.img..9.0.0.Ry3CVYKW8XE#imgdii=_&imgrc=nMtSzK2qvr3cEM%253A%3Bg0rOObkO3WMoHM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fpetslady.com%252Ffiles%252Fblog1%252Fsea_lion_1x.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fpetslady.com%252Fcontent%252Fhistory%3B639%3B537 There are loads of types of seals, many look grey being wet, some are grey, many are actually brown and light brown with blackish flippers, but some are spotted, some have rings, choices choice........ I went for a Scottish seal.....however the neck on this seal is pretty long.......it reminds me more of a baby Lock Ness monster!!!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Anotheran Posted January 30, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 30, 2015 If you want to keep your food chain going then I'd suggest a sea lion as their ranges take in both the Arctic and the Antarctic... though not really the same individuals 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Anotheran Posted January 30, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 30, 2015 And the carcass of polar bears... being picked clean by an Albatross in the Arctic while a dead albatross in the Antarctic seas gets eaten by fish, which in turn get eaten by Penguins.

Jaz Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Question.....particularly to any train drivers....can anyone specifically state a place where a public train goes past a Safari . Animal reserve.....or better still between two parts of the same......preferably in the U.K. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Anotheran Posted January 30, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 30, 2015 Question.....particularly to any train drivers....can anyone specifically state a place where a public train goes past a Safari . Animal reserve.....or better still between two parts of the same......preferably in the U.K. If you mean by public train a network rail train then this won't help. But if you mean a train that the public can travel on... The Severn Valley Railway runs along the southern edge of the West Midlands Safari Park. So you can do steam trains and elephants at the same time. https://wmsp.co.uk/home-news.php?article_id=32 Kind regards, Neil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcredfer Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 And Sharks ........ quite a lot of penguins go that way ..... and for the record.......guess who does eat penguins...........yep you guessed it seals. ....... ..... and Orcas ....... they rush in up the beach on a wave and retire, with the catch, when it recedes ... they also make a wave as an in-line pack, to knock them off Ice Floes .......

They haven't killed anyone yet, but a few, not nice, injuries 'though ....... Ok, it looks like a small industrial engine and the coaches are fairly open sided and could be made up from N Gauge Bogie Well Wagons and plasticard ....

Jaz Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 A driver needs to sit on the loco, and they are quite styalised, the little open carriages clearly don't go into of the more dangerous areas, probably more for. Getting you from one area to another, they also have a little turntable and several locomotives and a mini engine shed.......it would certainly be unusual, and as we all know I like the unusual.........perhaps some wagons could be jury rigged.....the bogies at least..... I will probably need to check out JCLs thread and see how that might be a way to solve the problem.......I wonder who I could con to do the dirty work......LOL..... I can do do the drawings, just not had any experience on a computer...Kal has certainly tried to get me interested in the idea of either a 3d printer or a computerised cutter.........it would certainly be interesting....... Anyway I have to go get a flat tyre sorted.....catch you all later 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

runs as required Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I like the idea of people in cages behind bars (for personal safety) so the animals can enjoy a good laugh at all the stupidos riding past them gawping. dh 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 The Airfix models gave me were not just restricted to Zoo animals, ooooh no........How I might get some of them into the thread ....however.....tenously......oh no an idea occurred....the Safari Park idea could be themed.....oh dear........this thread is going to get VERY surreal.....but that's for later......... For now I have tenuously got some of the NYMR people doing one of their events, very popular those events.....and one which he have previously discussed and on which Zollywood Airbase holds any credence is....WWII re-enactment. First part of this involves painting the models.... The plastic model was dull green, and you'd think dull green was a good choice, BUT I did some research on WWII colour photos, and although the Germans seemed to have dark grey dinghies, the allies US and UK appear to have favoured yellow. Yellow probably being that if you were a pilot out at see and the plane failed and you were adrift in a dinghy you might hope that someone might be out looking for you...or at least see you.....better picked up by the opposition and put in a detention camp than be SO camouflaged out as sea that no one sees you!!!!! Yep yellow would by my choice, and I can fully understand why dayglo orange has become SO popular. rmweb4002WW2dinghy no official these two models are NOT wearing life jackets, BUT I decided to paint them on, there appears to have been several models available and hopefully these painted ones pass muster....... rmweb4003WW2dinghy 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
