Tempfix Rich Papper Posted January 10, 2016 Tempfix Share Posted January 10, 2016 David, I discovered this excellent thread about 6 weeks ago quite by chance and have just managed to read through all 200+ pages during night time awake sessions with my 20 week old nocturnal son. Not only is the attention to detail fantastic, I really like your method of trial and error comparison to the real thing to get it to look as close as it does. It really is hard to tell the difference with the real thing. Thank you very much for the inspiration, I'm looking forward to the next 200. I might not need an electrostar, but that cam truck might go on the shopping list. Rich 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold westerhamstation Posted January 12, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 12, 2016 Hi David, the backscene is looking very good, the perspective and transition from ground level up to the bridge, and then up to the castle are excellent. I saw Mr Portillo striding around your layout last night on T.V, or was it the real Dover Priory I couldn't tell the difference. All the best Adrian. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that castle bit is a HUGE folder. Will try to exhume the ones that were marginally less cr@p. 2 Thanks for the reply about the change being S end of the Scissors. So that means the old LC&D Harbour station is now 'wrang way roond' ! Strange things real railways. dh 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Controller Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 There used to be an odd division of territory between the ASM based at Ashford and Dover Western Dock. The one at Ashford covered from Ashford to Dover, stopping at Harbour Tunnel; his patch continued from the Kearnsey curve as far as Richborough. This was the former SER line. The one at Dover covered the former LC&DR line towards Faversham. This legacy of the 19th century persisted at least into the mid-1980s; my old gaffer, Tony Clevett, had been the Ashford ASM, whilst Simon French had been the Dover one.
