The fitters attended from Shrewsbury, the secondman was dealt with using the first aid kit in the shunters' cabin and everyone then returned to their game of cards. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rammstein2609 Posted June 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2023 A rather dirty Autoballaster train slowly runs through Tulloch Bridge on the wrong line due to engineering works. Tulloch Bridge will be on show at DEMU ShowCase this weekend too. Thanks Martin 32 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul_C Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Kelvin, how did you achieve the concrete effect for the level crossing gate posts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelvin Pinnock Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Thanks Paul_C, but that crossing is part of my brother Robin's handiwork. I have asked him to reply to you with his methods. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have asked him to reply to you with his methods. The crossing posts are square brass tube, overlaid with nickel silver to bring it to the correct dimensions and form the curved top. This was soldered construction, with the corners filed to form the beveled edge. A suitable concrete colour was mixed in with talcum powder to give it a slightly textured matt effect. The posts plug into square brass tubes that are soldered to the gate mechanism; the electrical connection to the gate lamps runs down the centre of the post and also plugs in, so the whole assembly of post and gate can be removed easily if required.

Philou Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Crikey, that is good. I thought the gates were 'hand of god' operated with just working lights but I see they work electrically too. You've got to give us mortals some hints and tips now - pretty please? With a cherry on the top? Cheers, Philip 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very convincing, well observed scene and something that I like to include in layouts myself. 1 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
