RMweb Gold jamest Posted January 28, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 28, 2013 Hi Andy, Been following this with interest for a while and, as usual, like it a lot. I guess when you are talking decent money for each point you have to plan carefully! There is a lot of operational interest for only three actual points - the fiddle yard arrangement seems a crutial factor in keeping down the number of scenic points.

Andrew P Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 Andy - you disappoint me! Couldn't you have specified a slightly larger viaduct? The one above will only take me a day to build! How about a model that's got 24 arches, 104 feet high and 440 yds long. Tell you what - we'll call it Ribblehead! If me and George start today we can probably build it from 2mm ply in about 5000 years!! Jeff Sorry Jeff, That was just the Branch one for starters, hahahheeeee Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted January 28, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 28, 2013 Andy, that was an interesting last post you made on KL. Details are on the thread. Depending on when you want a viaduct, and how large it has to be, I'd love to build it. To be discussed... You'll be pleased to learn that you are still "King of the Lunes" - look at KL for details!

Andrew P Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 I have had a busy day on T today and if all goes well it will be revield either later tonight ro in the morning, Can you guess what it is yet?

RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted January 28, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 28, 2013 I was wrong with my first guess about the fiddle yard. So I'm thinking a yard shed next to the coaling staithes, or maybe a yard crane next to the coal. If not - you've weathered the platform - maybe the white edging.... Sorry, I'm a dunce!

You've built a 3 foot extension/cassette storage system to allow additional rolling stock to be shunted in and out of the layout... If not...erm, I give up. Lol.

RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted January 29, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 29, 2013 Splendid, Andy. Very effective display of the power of sound on a layout. Nicely filmed - it's easy to see why T is popular at exhibitions. Looks like you had an enjoyable day. Look forward to part 2! Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
emt_911 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Andy Seiously impressed. Especialy like the black & white intro. I need to see one of your layouts at an exhibition when my financial situation makes it viable. Just sitting down to watch 'The Joy of (Train) Sets on BBC Four.

RMweb Premium southern42 Posted January 29, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 29, 2013 What a busy little station you have there, Andy. Absolutely wonderful. 15minutes of pre-bedtime captivation and I only popped in to see what was going on. Thanks for posting. Waiting now for part 2.

Andrew P Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 Thanks to Jeff, Kev, Duncan, Polly and George for all your nice comments on the filming, it was my first attempt at filming, running trains and doing some sort of unscripted comentry all at the same time. Also it was my first try at editing 20 different lots of filming and merging from one scene into another is not as easy as it looks. I am about to start on Part 2 which should be on here later this afternoon/evening all being well. Andy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
