A Nod To Brent - a friendly thread, filled with frivolity, cream teas and pasties. Longing for the happy days in the South Hams 1947.

My concern is how much room will I have after its fitted on the up side canopy, as this is shorter than scale so as not to dominate the scene.

Artistic compromise on the bridge dimensions Rob.

Making it lower though might cause clearance issues...

Try a paper mock up to see if it fits.

Ducks is probably on the 'brandy' from his local shop - 20cl for £4, you know.

Mate, if you were in the state I'm in you'd need more than a 20C Bottle........................

Not today, I'm not still "feeling the reward" from last night...

If I could feel my reward I wouldn't need the Brandy.

It's the only way to get it right !

You have a fair bit of leeway there Rob. The footbridge will come up a bit higher than in the photo but if you reduce the "overlap" with the awning you can gain a bit back.

 

Hopefully this illustrates what I mean

Its being moved sideways however much is needed.Cutting the gent's screen width would also help.

I'd be a bit more worried about its width on the island platform and that might mean having to slim down the width of the staircases and supporting girderwork to get the right sort of appearance.

That platform width is 96 mm and the gap between the girders there is a max of 34 mm. A scale 8' 6 sounds too wide so a thinning would be an option.

Anyway, lets have some more Hall action and I realised today I hadn't run my new Bachmann BR early bauxite vans yet.Here we see them behind St Edmund Hall.

Class act, as ever!

Was the loco also colloquially known as "Teddy Hall"?

Excellent pics: the black Hall looks so much better in Sepia , but it does seem much more shiny, I'm wondering why?

[jcm@gwr]

What do you mean, 'That Listed Pagoda Hut could be a problem'?

It looks upright to me, hic!

[colin penfold]

The most feared and hated member of the class was Sod Hall.

 

I remember the looks of panic and anguish on the faces of the staff at North Road when the duty manager said "we've got Sod Hall for the 730 to Paddington"

Actually at that it would fit without thinning.  You need a minimum of 24mm of platform width each side of the structure which leaves you with 48mm (max) for the width of the structure itself which would be more than enough.

Wot about Terry Hall?

 

Digressing slightly(?) I think I'm going to name a road on my layout Letsby Avenue.

How about "Eddy Baby"?
