David Todd Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) Very effective real/model shot there, Dave. I've been away for a couple of weeks, and there's a lot to catch up here! Hope you had an enjoyable trip Simon. Thanks for posting. Now I have have DP. track work up,I have also removed the right hand point to the loop,,to re position to the datum line. Am now very tempted to remove Priory Tunnel portal, it was a sacle scenes download,effective, but not the real thing. Replace it with a down sized real photograph,produced by good friend LF&T. The controlling signals at the north end of DP, are still under going manufature by............ Absolute Aspects. Many Thanks go to Paul, Ernie and Brian,who made the trip to Folkestone Exihibiton, and supplied me with much imformation,to the point of "overload". from their time working/worked in the Dover area. Such a pity, it clashed with my time on "working duties", my apologies. The removal of the track work in Dp. now gives me a chance to set up the Esu detector unt,contol of signals,point electrical inter-locking, spare contacts on the dcc cobalts. semi auto-computer control, from eventual storage area,to the 2 "roundies", braking control for the "10.chain curve", etc etc......... Thank you all, for your time viewing and posting. BFn........... Edited October 10, 2013 by David Todd Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
