RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted April 27, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 27, 2013 I can understand why nobody's posting.... it may only be about 12C outside, but in the sunshine I've done tons of gardening! And I've been into the bunker and had a storage rearrangement under the subframe. No modelling, yet, but does it really matter? I'm sure the plastikard and evostik can wait a few more hours!!

RMweb Gold Donw Posted April 27, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 27, 2013 A friend Gordon used to drive on the Rading Basingstoke SR service and later drove on the WSR so some obviously enjoyed it. Me I can claim to having Driven King Edward 1, 9681, the Cadbury tank and Dolgoch. Plus a 9inch gauge one at Colwell. I could include my Taliesin but its 16mm still good fun though.

Rob Look forward to seeing the Castle, Rob. Although it's not an S&C beast, I'll be buying one under the Rule 1/Railtour pretense! As for the modelling - well, socialising took over this evening so that's a day without progress. Who cares?!! Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmcg Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) Indeed! (this engine crew certainly get around...!) Note. WR pics done under suffrance.

RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted April 28, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 28, 2013 My goodness, what a dead thread today! And not a single post in the Lounge since yesterday! Anyway, nothing exciting to report. An hour, at most, of bridge work - so no significant process. Hopefully more will happen tomorrow. I have re-stocked with 20kg of plaster, so that'll keep me going for a while!! Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

emt_911 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Jeff It's taken me two hours to catch up, especialy some of the non lunester threads. To be honest, I haven't taken any notice of the members day as I couldn't afford to attend anyway. Should liven up later when Lord Bodgit surfaces later. I think I'm just going to relax tonight ready for another working week (job searching) and if the hours are acceptable, hopefully get some modelling done.

I've 2 of the Bachmann weathered 5MTs - a lovely model in my opinion. As for the engines themselves.... Well, I would have Brits and 9Fs in joint first place (I have 3 of each, with more in the pipeline) and Peppercorn A1/A2s in third. Oh dear, we may have opened a can of worms!!

If I could carry out a Physics book to food transformation, along the lines of mass-energy ( E = m c2) I'd never have to shop again - my house is infested with the damn things.

RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted April 29, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 29, 2013 Sorry for the lack of action, folks! As I explained in the Lounge, everything that can conspire to get in the way of modelling is doing so. And since those things involve people standing right in front of you, it's hard to get rid of the "problem". I am desperate to get the cladding onto the branch bridge - then build the "wing" walls for both bridges. Keep watching this space and you might see something happen over the next few days!

RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted April 30, 2013 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 30, 2013 May seem like an obvious question, but how are the roads above the bridge going to Be made? Good question, Daniel. The "road" above the bridges is really more of a glorified farm track. Width-wise, the top of the bridges will have a track:stonewall-aqueduct in approx 1:2 ratio. So the track itself will be around 4cm wide, with small verges. In the past I've made roads using card and Wills sheeting (eg. cobbles). This time I might just use a plaster skim, roughly smoothed and painted to represent a mud base. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
