Andrew P Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 A little more done since Lunch, using masking tape, PVA and some cardboard I've made a start on the Embankment so that I can do the Ballasting on that section. It's also had a coat of Green Gloss Paint to give it a base colour and also help the Flock to stick when I get to that stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embankment 1 001.JPG Embankment 1 002.JPG Embankment 1 003.JPG I love that last pic Andy. Out of "professional" interest I zoomed in on the bridge and abutment - proper job Mate! There is a large low area alongside the railway embankment to the right of the bridge - will this be field, beach or sea? Whatever you choose I'm sure you will make a great job of it.

How many phases are you envisaging? Thanks Kevin, Not sure until it progresses further, the reason is that he Level Crossing Gates I've ordered are more of a Farm Crossing / unmade Lane than a Tarmac Road. Not sure how many Phases there will be, at least 12 to 15 or so I would guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KNP Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Do doubt within each phase must be a sub phase A (or more of course) for a coffee break? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulgabill Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Do doubt within each phase must be a sub phase A (or more of course) for a coffee break? We could be in danger of needing an enlarged alphabet. Allowing for all the other layouts, weathering, tea, coffee etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john flann Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Andy, if the railway severed the ownership of land and access to it for that owner was denied by the construction of the railway, the railway company would be required to either pay compensation or provide an accommodation work. If that comprised provide a level crossing then it would be a private crossing, not available to the public at large, and crossing gates to be opened and closed by the owner would suffice. There would be no need of a crossing keeper, signals or signal box. There might however have been a telephone to contact a box about traffic. A "W" sign would be at trackside some short distance away. The same would apply to a public footpath. If there was a public right of way for vehicular traffic then the customary rules would apply.

Interesting that John, thanks, it looks like it will need to be an adopted Road then, as I like the idea of the Junction Signal and Box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
