RMweb Premium acg5324 Posted October 2, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 2, 2020 The third bridge to span the WLL has had some progress today. Nearly....well I did...make a monumental cock up. Built the ramps and cut the bridge sides to find everything was far too low despite measuring twice.....etc. What I’d forgotten was that the baseboard level needed raising to match the platform height. Everything now OK after the 10mm foamboard was added. Here is progress so far...PS this isn’t where it lives! 11 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium acg5324 Posted October 6, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 6, 2020 Most of the Addison Gardens Bridge and road was completed today, mainly needs painting and then fitting in position. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True enough nowadays (unless I used Shoreham...) but in times past I lived in Eastbourne and before that, when I first got to know Andy, in Brighton (Hove, actually).

RMweb Premium Ian Morgan Posted October 8, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 8, 2020 Good old 'Hove Actually'. I lived there once, long, long ago. Went to St Andrew's C. of E. Infants school, George Street. It seems to have disappeared now, according to Google maps. Looks like it is either the Cliftonville Inn, or Bonmarché now. Oh, I feel old. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I lived in Mile Oak, Portslade, in fact but it was part of the Borough of Hove in those days rather than the People's Republic City of Brighton and Hove. Closer to 40 years ago than 30 now.

grahame Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I worked near Preston Park for a while and occasionally at Black Rock, but that'd be around 35 years ago now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeithHC Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I lived close to the line at Salford’s and my school(Redstone) backed on to the Quarry Line. Then I worked at Gatport Airwick on the aviation side but my office overlooked the north end of the station. So I had the best of both worlds aircraft and trains........heaven Keith 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium acg5324 Posted October 19, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 19, 2020 (edited) After a thoroughly enjoyable break at Carbis Bay it’s back to York and Tier 2! I even managed to avoid going to Kernow Models!! I’ve made a start on the next pub....The Bricklayers Arms. This has featured in a few episodes of Minder and was a meeting place for the band members of Queen. It’s another building that’s been knocked down but I managed to find some good pictures on the Kensington Borough planning site, showing it with its replacement.

RMweb Premium acg5324 Posted October 19, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 19, 2020 I’ve ordered some more Georgian Town houses from KINGSWAY MODELS these will finish off the block next to the Bricklayers Arms. There are also some 3D printed items on their way including some 1970s figures, postman opening a postbox and some street cabinets. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much point going anyway as you can't browse the shop at the moment. They're only doing click-and-collect. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot to say we did see a sign for the St Enodoc Hotel when we were near Port Issac last week. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
