tjf4375 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Simply wow - that Electrostar looks absolutely awesome - I particularly like the interior lighting, which has just the right greenish glow to it - are they warm white LEDs? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Todd Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) Assembly of the LCut Creative, laser cut model of Shakespeare Tunnel,begin's. The tunnel innards have to be given a base wash of colour first,before attaching. Monday night modelling,will be given over to this assembly. Last week, seen the delivery of Dapols new Class 73. The Royal Alex. More trees,have been added to the scissors crossing gully area,South of the platforms. These are just placed,so I got used to them,over a few weeks,they will be painted,soon,then glued into Position. (dh).Runs as Required, mentioned the 10 chain curve,a few posts back and the lack of Modelling on it,over the past few years. Well, I can inform him,that, reference points have been located. A Bachmann sub station, being used only for reference. A chimney, used for reference to the tower on Harbour Station. A newly positioned telephone exchange that does not exist on the curve.

David Todd Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 Here are a few photos', of the Electrostar 375/3, 3- set unit, Newly liveried,at Dover Priory, doing the Ramsgate Shuffle, during seawall repairs. conversion,from a BachmannTubostar 170. 3-set. RM member Andrew F took on the challenge for the major changes that were required. and RM member m.levin helped sorting decoders/electrics/transfers. Andrew F, 2/3's of the way through, hated it, but at the end of the project,wanted to keep it. This link is how it looked, before conversion Now to the photos' these were taken with my bridge camera,uploaded to my flickr account,then using Avairy edit, cropped only. I do not use Photoshop, 1. by ferriesdover, on Flickr 2. by ferriesdover, on Flickr 3. by ferriesdover, on Flickr 4. by ferriesdover, on Flickr 5. by ferriesdover, on Flickr 6. by ferriesdover, on Flickr 7. by ferriesdover, on Flickr 8. by ferriesdover, on Flickr 9. by ferriesdover, on Flickr 10. by ferriesdover, on Flickr 11. by ferriesdover, on Flickr My thanks, to Andy and Martin. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's absolutely true, Toddy doesn't use Photoshop. As the background to photo #2 shews, he sends his stuff to his "Friends in the North" who use Photoshop to make a pigs ear out of it. dh Edited February 29, 2016 by runs as required 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew F Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 LookS at home. I notice it'S on the outSide track; Surely it'll get round the inner loop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Todd Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 LookS at home. I notice it'S on the outSide track; Surely it'll get round the inner loop. Am just about to remove the last locating dowel for platform 1, As you know,the gauging is, rather tight for some types of model. Hence the near stoppage, at the end of the video. This should give me,1/2mm more clearance. But, as Freebs,is working on the platform 1 upgrade,(at home,in the Midlands) which he said,maybe Easter, depends,if he has been able to work in the fine tolerance I gave him. http://youtu.be/wwKv1P9hBHo 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Todd Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) Inside track Andrew, Seems, as though, you put some Midlands Field Mice,in the axle boxes, I will return them, or you collect,when down next. The stoppage/slow,is due to the 3rd rail,not being fixed down,but otherwise,excellent. Needs more running in on my tight curves. http://youtu.be/FwBbSX7qeRo Edited February 29, 2016 by David Todd 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
