MRDBLUE17 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Hi Mick & Kev, The funny thing after following the link on DEMU last night watching NewBryford there was a cracking video of Coppell nearly 30mins worth that I watched. I saw NewBryford for the first time back in the 90's before going to watch the Rovers and Bolden was always a major inspiration. Kev could you imagine Coppell with EWS, DRS and Pendolinos! I'm sure Mick could lend some yellow stuff to run too. All the best Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimleygrid Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Hi Mick, yesterday I purchased a copy of the latest issue of BRM and really enjoyed the article on New Bryford. Some absolutely cracking photos of what is a great layout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdw7300 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Hi Mick. Cracking article in BRM & great video too. Really looking forward to seeing NB in the flesh at DEMU. Fantastic work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intercity 125 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Seems everyone beat me to saying NB was in BRM! It was a good article though and the main reason I bought a magazine; I usually save my money for locos and more coaches! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nhdesigns Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Good job I was with you all weekend ( for several reasons!! I've just seen all the magnificent detail on your layout and it's given that inspiration I realy need to get on with my layout. I would love to make a dual carriageway bridge like that with the sign gantries. Do you have a how to giude or something on how you built something this. Not that I wish to copy yours but instead make my own version for a motorway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to make a dual carriageway bridge like that with the sign gantries. Do you have a how to giude or something on how you built something this. Not that I wish to copy yours but instead make my own version for a motorway. All the building work is observational modelling, nothing more I'm afraid. I knew where the gantries were on the Mancunian Way and used Google streetview for more detail, including views from under the gantry. The best advice I can offer is to study the real thing and use my build pictures as a guide. If you want, copy away, I've no issue with that - that's why I post on here, otherwise I'd keep my work to myself! Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your layout is such an inspiration and it has given me the urge to scratchbuild now. Up 'til now I've just been using off the shelf models and card kits which are okay but they lack some personality and difference. Taking pics of the real things are a little tricky for me being in Conrwall! But seeing as google provides the answers I'll take a gander at it.

Cheers, Mick That's great. I did look at going about google streetview but never could take snaps of there. I do know now. When you found something like that gantry, how do you go about making it to 4mm scale. I can't seem to do it. All I can do is measure it and that's about it for me.

The height over the road is an educated guess at 17 feet (clearance for 16' trailers....) Width was to suit the road on the layout. By using a number of pictures from different angles, I guesstimated the other dimensions. Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
