Waverley West Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 thanks do not fret! i will be doing a port layout for next year, mite do oban with 2 ferrys You certainly know how to destroy a man, Carl. Here am I, sat in my windowless padded cell, no hope of release and having had my crayons taken off me, so I can no longer scrawl my plans for my new Oban layout on the wall, and then you go and say that. I hope you feel some sense of responsibility for what you've done to me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clagmeister Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Wow! Large logo tractors, ferrys, Islands, Mountains, Lochs and harbour towns! Why would you not model the West Coast of Scotland? Ships crew ready to go. When I asked the question. Does anybody know where I'd get a Cal mac ferry from? a year ago, never in a million years was I thinking of something so good. Just hope now that Caolisport provides a suitable and fitting home. cheerio Claggy Will be in touch! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi mike Heb is now finished and ready to enter service and awaits its crew to sail it to its birthing at caolisport. I have also added a gantry walkway for the foot passengers, this is removable.

shortliner Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 The word "STUNNING!" doesn't begin to describe that - in fact I'm not sure there is one that does!! ! I followed this thread as it went on, and was amazed, astonished and astounded (that's 3 A's) at what you have achieved - I'm sure that Claggy will be over the moon! Well done!

Coombe Barton Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 There are always the transatlantic liners that called at Plymouth Millbay? Stonehouse? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl1967 Posted August 22, 2010 Author Share Posted August 22, 2010 There are always the transatlantic liners that called at Plymouth Millbay? Stonehouse? nice thought john. but most liners are far to big to model in OO gauge, can not do any ship over 360ft long as there just to big mite be ok for N Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clagmeister Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Carl, Absoulutely fantastic. Will be in touch. Oban you say! I'm sure heb could call in there if you'd like. Like I said a few posts ago, one chance remark leads to so much. cheerio Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coombe Barton Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 nice thought john. but most liners are far to big to model in OO gauge, can not do any ship over 360ft long as there just to big mite be ok for N To do Millbay docks and station in 4mm would require 60ft x 30ft (excluding fiddle yard) minimum to keep in in scale. Wouldn't exactly be portable for exhibitions, though In N 30ft x 15ft. Anyone do a 1361 in N? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Pulham Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Superb Carl, you really have missed your way in life. There must be a profession in this type of thing hiding away somewhere. I really look forward the the next. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
