David Todd Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 Well, after missing a week,last Wed. night saw the last panel dressed by Lofty. We now have a 16 foot continuous length of dressed Shakespeare Beach Cliffs. Work is to be finished on the Shakespeare twin tunnel and other features at the start of the 10 chain curve. The last panel to be dressed. The completed run. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew F Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 That is truly a work of art David, and one of the greatest feats in landscape modelling I've seen. It's also nice to see the town yard clear for once. Ballasting next? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

runs as required Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Congrats on the whole Dover circuit coming together so convincingly now as a piece: the completion of the bravura cliff face and the long slog of counterfeiting 'reality' through DP. Might I possibly request you post a complete circuit with your famous railborn camera in each direction please for us all to marvel at? dh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going to be able to tell the difference with the real thing when it's ballasted - well done. Rich Stunning looking landscaping well done Thank you for taking the time to post on the thread. I ve had a suggestion,from Richard Johnson,of DCC Concepts,that I try out his "Legacy Ballast" product, when I get around to doing it. I have been following Jukeboxes layout build, Stockrington am impressed with the laying out of PVC. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Controller Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Dover Town Yard. image.png A reminder of how busy it was; there were two, sometimes three, ferries per day, with about half-a-dozen freight services connecting with them. Features of interest in the photo, apart from the variety of wagons, include the Cartics being unloaded on to what was known as the Military Platform. This was linked by tunnel to the various barracks on the Western Heights, so that troop movements could be carried out without interfering with public traffic. The car traffic was loaded on to whatever ferry/hovercraft had spare capacity, then stored in compounds at Calais, Boulogne and Dunkerque. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might I possibly request you post a complete circuit with your famous railborn camera in each direction please for us all to marvel at? dh After a few attempts, over the last few hour's,this is the best I've come up with. No excuses, not a lot,is fixed down permanently,hey but what is new. nothing. So outer mainline,in the correct direction,trailing the camtruck. No,it's not your eye's, the lens is a fisheye. http://youtu.be/PvxbDEKRLxM 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

runs as required Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Bravo!!! It is astonishing how convincing the video seems entering DP out of the tunnel past the signal box. Enjoyed all the ghostly lights on in the Pullman rake as we passed by. And now please could we have the camera propelled on the other mainline in an anti clockwise direction? (and I'd love to see it travelling westwards towards Shakespeare Cliff). Can I suggest your model may interest film makers wishing to briefly cut in "vintage" train shots entering and leaving Dover. Many years ago the Beeb filmed DH Lawrence "The Rainbow" at length in our scary old house. Daughter's bedroom was selected for a steamy lesbian scene. Literally so because they used a model of a saddle tank shunting a colliery yard outside the supposed mine-manager's house dangling down on a 3 ft by 2ft tray outside the window to be glimpsed in a second as Imogen Stubbs whipped the curtains open. We were amazed how easily it fooled everyone. dh 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
