Jaz Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Well you might be the tidy sort, but I bounce from one thing to the next, and not losing misplacing all those bits strikes me as a challenge...that I could lose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Todd Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 Morning,......... After searching..........I purchased these at Warley, yesterday. P1070427(1) by David Todd 2012, on Flickr This is about the closest, I am going to get,to model this.................. P1040959(1) by David Todd 2012, on Flickr The trip up to Warley from Dover, was well worth the time, caught up with freinds, Richard Johnstone and Pete from Australia, Kal & Jaz......Anthony,John, Gavin, Brian II...........and all traders' I know........

Jaz Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 dt It was great catching up. And nice putting a face to other people we have not 'met' before. The biggest complaint I have about Warley is not only is the food overpriced but much of it is not even good food. Portion sizes were a total joke. Too late I noticed the Presto Pasty which was not overly exorbitant and looked good. We didn't have enough time in one day to peruse all the layouts. It's too far to go back. But we did have a good day with the traders. fiddled through the unpacked items at Langley models picking and choosing parts of sets I was interested in. I drooled past ten commandments, but at the present still have loads of their stuff to find a home on the layout (this will happen as the scenery is replaced) I finally tracked down dart castings (and Monty model Railways) and went mad. Kal found a train or two and got a bargain saving 30£ at Kernow stall (just covered our tickets!!!) A lot of the traders I am interested in do our local shows, so I doubt I would travel there again. But all in all an experience. Nice seeing you there always a pleasure to have a chin wag, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Todd Posted November 30, 2013 Author Share Posted November 30, 2013 (edited) While at Warley,mid afternoon,last Saturday,I was able to get to see and have a chat with.................... Norman Soloman .....DVD Trackmaking by Norman Solomon Questions of hand building these, were directed to Norman 1. This is the real scissors crossing,just south of Dover Priory. P1040923(1) by David Todd 2012, on Flickr 2 PrioryStationDover075 by David Todd 2012, on Flickr 3. This is the model layout of the scissors crossing,it has been all taken up for laying a new scissors. P1060387(1) by David Todd 2012, on Flickr 4. P1060130(1) by David Todd 2012, on Flickr 5. P1060386(1) by David Todd 2012, on Flickr So, we are now a week on, taking all of Norman's, discussion, into consideration, plus time,method of build and cost....... I am leaving it the way,it has been planned/laid in the above pics............... If, I were to do the layout again, I would definately,handbuild the trackwork, and not use standard manufactured felxi-track..........

Kal Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 (edited) Hi I don't know why complicated track work excites me so, may it is a childhood renaissance, dreaming where all those different tracks might go to, what wondrous locations they may lead. I love the scissor crossing, I will have to find an excuse for one somewhere. Looking good dt. Edited November 30, 2013 by Kal 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jukebox Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Honestly, dt, the effect you have managed with Photo 3... you should be really happy with that! Yes, hand made might be "better" but on a pfaff-to-improvement ratio, I'd imagine it's a diminishing return. Very nice - use as is.

Dr Gerbil-Fritters Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Is your current scissors rtr from someone other than Peco, or a Peco conversion as on the Grantham thread? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
