RMweb Premium Jason T Posted March 12, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 12, 2013 Another way to look at it is that the Lounge has been open for less than two months and is 70 posts shy of Bacup, which has been going for well over a year.

emt_911 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Jeff I've got to agree with Jason about KL only just starting. There is so much to do yet that will take up thousands of posts. Duncan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted March 12, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 12, 2013 Are you kidding? It will surely soon be time to paint the sleepers and rails (and there is no way we will let you simply spray the lot with Railmatch Sleeper Grime), ballasting (method of glueing and which to use) will take up a few pages, overlay the snowy mountains with grass, etc., will rattle on for pages on end and who knows, you may get to the point of scratchbuilding the station building, goods shed, iconic water tank, Signalbox, etc., within the next year. You've only just begun and we are all strapped in for the full journey. Jeff I've got to agree with Jason about KL only just starting. There is so much to do yet that will take up thousands of posts. Duncan I was afraid you'd say that. Oh hell, what have I let myself in for here!! FUN!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schubert Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Thanks for the lamps answer chaps, I know stationmaster said it was missing a lamp at the back, but it could have had another one where it wasn't needed. 5000 posts in a year ain't bad, I recon we'l probably hit 25000 before you're finished !

Al No problems Al. I quite enjoyed researching after I posted my answer for confirmation. It's something that isn't as well documented as loco lamp codes. As far as 2500 posts goes, I think you may be underestimating. Duncan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
67A Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Hi Jeff, Been quiet for a while due to usual work comittments but looked in just to say congratulations on reaching 5K! The valley is looking great too! I don't think you will have a problem reaching 10K either. Cracking thread with a great mix of talented input, long may it continue. Cheers Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Mike Thanks very much Mike. I've just been looking at a load of viaduct photos to try to gauge how I'm going to build in the embankments - short and sweet though they are - into the valley side. I think I might have a go at this tomorrow and see how it looks. The thread is made by the core of very talented modellers (myself excluded) who have contributed an enormous amount in the way of ideas/constructive criticism/anecdotes/S&C-related material. I dread to think what the project would be like without all of this - a disaster, I should imagine. I hope you get some time away from work to continue with Dent. I'll still be on Lune Fell when you've finished!! Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Hi Jeff, WELL 5000 POSTS, that is just brilliant mate and well deserved, BUT as Jason quite rightly says there is loads to discuss over the coming decades, this is only the tip os the iceberg, wait till you get to the same stage as Jason and we are discussing your chimney pots, track side flowers The type of shovel the workman is holding, the size of the ladys knickers on the washing line the style of door knobs the shape of the bicycle saddel or the colour of the butchers apron. AND SO THE LIST GOES ON I could be here all night and still there would be more from people like Duncan, Jason, the two Billy's Ray and Polly and Al and Al and hundreds more. :locomotive: Need to sleep now, Baron Bodgit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Hi Jeff, Would a hedgerow or line of small trees help in the disguise the joint? I did like the broken wall idea, and you could also have a deralict Barn to disguise it a bit as well. Bodgit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
emt_911 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I don't think you'd find a barn on that slope, would you? Duncan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Donw Posted March 12, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 12, 2013 This rather brings to mind a zen story of a master of caligraphy trying to complete a pice of work but the student kept asking questions how would he do this how would he do that? The master could not settle his mind. The student went to speak to someone at the door and quickly the master finished the work. Oh it is perfect said the student on his return. This could be Jeff after us lot pulling him this way and that he will just go into the bunker and just do it his own way. We will all think it has been our bit of advice that has made the difference. Mind you giving advice is a lot easier than taking it. Still it is all good fun. Don Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan Maybe not a proper barn but one of those shepherds refuges with space for ewes to give birth. These were often in good vantage points.

RMweb Gold Rowsley17D Posted March 13, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 13, 2013 Hedges a bit few and far between at S&C altitudes and trees even more so. A stone-built sheep shelter is a possibility and how about a butt for the grouse shooting season? There's no reason why you couldn't have a barn in valley bottom but it would have to be in a delapidated state because they hadn't started to convert them into holiday homes in the early 60s. Just had another thought - how about an abandoned lime kiln? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you giving advice is a lot easier than taking it. Still it is all good fun. Don Advice/ideas are always appreciated. There's no obligation to act upon them, but they sometimes suggest alternatives I hadn't even considered. They also promote discussion, which generates further ideas.... Yes, it's good fun. We are building a model, so it's not exactly a matter of life or death! Lol. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had another thought - how about an abandoned lime kiln? It's all a question of scale. I want to keep the valley floor as uncluttered and rural as possible. Looking at the hundreds of images on Google (search Settle and Carlisle viaducts), there doesn't seem to be much apart from streams, walling, a few trees, grass, scrub and pathways. a small shelter - for sheep - on one side of the valley incline would be good.

RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted March 13, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 13, 2013 Happy Birthday K.L. :locomotive: :locomotive: Have a good day. Bodgit I'll be putting the posting figures up for the first 5000 posts on KL when I've updated them. Maybe in half-an-hour. I think you may find yourself as Baron of all you survey!! Heater is on in the bunker, but it's a bit cool out there! Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
