Jaz Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Regards Louth and my shopping area, these building are spread out over almost a dozen roads, fitting them all in and in relationship to each other would take up a LOT of room, so I am going to try and squeeze them as close as possible, and use similar buildings to reflect the colour of this area So I will concentrate on those areas where I can fit several elements in.... skaledale does these two, and they are right next to each other bonus..... Forbes was on PortLynn, and wil move rmweb1043portlynn7 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) I've just struck it lucky. The Skaledale Robinsons is not very similar to the present original,It is the green shop on the left, look for the apple sign, so 'walking' up and down googlemaps I finally found it....and coincidentally it is right opposite Forbes. 1. Found it. 2. It is on Eastgate 3. It is right opposite Forbes, which means it can be placed on the layout as such. It won't look good enough to match the picture but it is the correct ksledale building for it. googlemaps. and square on googlemaps newrailwaymodeller!!!!! Skaledale flattened the bay window and just did one not two.And a new paint job and a different sign. Perhaps this is an older version.

MrB Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Jaz/Kal, This video https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=13QPwjqIwj0 shows a typical helicopter take-off from Aberdeen. I know every flight I've been on does it like this and almost the same in reverse for landing. Offshore approach for landing depends on wind direction and takes into account any obsticles for 15nm. Sadly next flight in one is 0715hrs tomorrow, In the usual Bristows S92 G-CHYI helicopter. Roy 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to watch the video myself as i'm normally sleeping by take off as it's 4am start for me and a 8.30pm finish at the other end, a long day glad its only 10-11 times a year.

ess1uk Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 some of the craziest helicopters ive seen were the AAC Lynx hovering over the end of Belfast City Airport with planes taking off and landing over the top off them! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. Does the numbers, apply to planes and helicopters? eg 34-16 (red) E4 (green) ???

Jaz Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I found one with foldable blades . AND tail so I don't have to have a massive hanger width for the layout.... I wonder if ANY of the resin buildings would be ok in this case.....just off to check.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Oh and as for Louth, I am just checking the road positioning, with those building i can put in relationship to each other. FYI.....Hornby's Aswell house unfortunately is way too LARGE to be put near the coloured food shops which is where it is in reality. So I don't think I can use it for the shopping area. But I can get one or other of the road splits with a small market area. I am just checking if I can get the old Louth station - which is now living accommodation....into the scene. Before cutting the PIR and leaving no room for manoeuvre. Sadly it is in the middle of a new estate, no tracks, and google did not go down the road in front of it. It might be preserved, but it is a sad sight. I won't be adding it in its present day guise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) I tried to google the old police house.....AAAArrrGGGHHHHH!!!!! I go the likes of right move with old police houses dotted all around the place. I did finally track one down, but I cannot make a match to any Hornby buildings ...however loose. So the road will be a very Louth loose connection. Those buildings I can identify will be placed in position/relationship as near as possible. Skaledale foodshops are coloured similar to those in Aswell Street as mentioned. But often as with Faulkners electrical Hornby have disregarded a lot of the architectural detail above the shop front. Often just putting a flat roof!!!!! Okay I think I have found the easy matches. There is plenty of space for generic buildings....so others can be swopped in if I realise they match.So I am off to go play with the PIR.

jcredfer Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) The 34-16 refers to the runway direction ........ ie. 40o in one direction and 160o if you approach from the other end. [They work to the nearest 100] The red board is where the plane waits to be told when it can move onto the runway for take-off - called a holding point. It is also where the final setting up and checks of the plane takes place ............................................. it has been known for pilots to do the setting up whilst taxying to the holding point, as it is quicker, but they shouldn't pass that point until the checks etc are complete AND the tower say they can move onto the runway. Excellent video, and it gives the scenic items on the ground.....not just focused on the helicopter. Thank you. Does the numbers, apply to planes and helicopters? eg 34-16 (red) E4 (green) ???

Jaz Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 OKay a quick sidestep, as I finish off some stuff cluttering up my desk....kals desk.....and any other space I have grabbed..... Another of the Unitmodels I bought rmweb3310pidgeonloft1 Not very expensive, although those who build WCs or Sheds...could easily make a do it yourself one of these...it caught my eye ...wasn't expensive.....so grabbed it first lick of paint popped the brush occasionally in water so it did NOT properly adhere....on purpose ....promise.... rmweb3311pidegeonloft2 thin layers of grey and 'wood' rmweb3312pidgeonloft3 then some superglue and some weathering... I did try looking for picture of pidgeon lofts covered in guano....but there ae no pictures....probably all scared of the RSPCA rmwe3313pidegeonlift4 will try and get some pictures tomorrow on the layout during the day if the light is ok.

C&WR Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Deeply disappointed RaR got in first about the buildings. I was going to ask if a Nissan hut was somewhere to store Japanese cars. Even military people get it wrong, and there's another thread in that... As for Wimpy Bars they were a treat when I was a nipper. My elderly aunts/grandmother would enter as there was cutlery! The biggest treat of all was to have a knickerbockerglory. one of Julian's posts reminded me. During the Foot & Mouth disaster in the '90s (?) we were not allowed to use the usual hides on farm land for training so used to go to airfields as they had a lot of dead space. I had to get a special driving licence to go on them. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
