RMweb Premium Welly Posted July 28, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 28, 2020 Want an excuse to put an active level crossing underneath a road bridge? Check out this example on the Bordebahn line near Cologne! The bridge is obviously a new road bridge and the LC is for a minor road. https://youtu.be/b-UQQ6btPL8?t=357 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

great central Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Level crossing under a bridge? This is the model, there's a photo somewhere in DaveF's epic photo thread of the real thing. Also the mid Norfolk railway has a crossing under the A47 at Dereham. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simontaylor484 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Oops stencil back to front I assume some with stencil and spray paint or brush. When I worked for the Council we had to do them for pick up and pay up dog fouling signs for dogs that can read. They sent us out with spray paint that made more mess and cost more.than a load of cheap brushes and a tin of white emulsion. The spray paint didn't last but trust me trying to shift white emulsion off a street it sticks like sh#t to a proverbial blanket. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bimble Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 that is possibly a front runner for the worst livery to appear on a HST... it's not too bad in profile, but that three quarters angle looks terrible... hopefully they'll tweak it somehow... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
