Kal Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) Hi Very useful info, east to forget scale. Sometimes look at things and think, that is intricate , but when you work it out it is colossal. Ballast and stone walls come to mind Edited January 24, 2014 by Kal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Thank you C&WR, I need rod, though do you not sometimes see flat uprights too? Thank you for the hints. I bought 101 .010x.030" .25x.75mm 102 .010x.040" .25x1.0mm 103 .010x.060" .25x1.5mm They are meant for Ye Olde White Horse Inn, but could be commandeered.I'll check the local shop.

RMweb Gold Alister_G Posted January 24, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 24, 2014 Even 1mm microstrip would be a scale 3", Jaz, so as long as there wasn't too much ovf a lateral curve if I was building that I'd drill some holes on the steps, put in some 1mm or even 0.75mm rod as the balusters, then glue the handrail to the top, probably 0.5mm thick x 1 mm wide. That would easily bend to follow the angle of the stairs and not have enough flex to pop off... You might be better off using brass for something like this, you can get 0.5mm x 1mm flat strip, as well as various sizes of wire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

C&WR Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Sorry, Jaz, when I say rod I include square section too. My rod of all trades is 1.5mm x 1.5mm which I use for fence posts, cranes & all sorts. It's probably overscale for the posts and underscale for cranes but in my impressionistic modelling it looks OK. I actually need about 2mm x 2mm x 24mm of square section to make a SCAM 12 (12m Self-Contained Army Mast) for the back of my Wheeled Ptarmigan Radio Relay (the Bedford MK kits arrived today) and assorted bits of sheet (including tread plate) and some brass etched net to build the other gubbins. I may improvise rather than ordering a whole pack of 2mm x 2mm! I am going to have a mast head protector bag over the top of the mast so I don't need to portray the circular mast sections which fir inside the square base section...

Jaz Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 We have family round and ordered a massive kebab Mez mix from our local (3 miles) kebab shop = kofte, donner pastourma shish mix, to share between 6, garlic mayo, garlic yogurt, chilli, sauce green chills, everything salad, chips, wedges, chicken, pitta bread, fries... everything arrived and NO CHILLI sauce arrived!!!! £36.00......and no chilli!!!!!! I made homemade falafels with extra dried chilli and lemon wedges (for food or cokes as you prefer) as a starter / side How naff is that Luckily it was not the first time, and we have sauced/sourced a reasonsable substitute........ Who can eat a kebab with NO Chilli sauce Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Trees, a close up of the bark on the trunk of my tree, this is taken from elderflower shrub, it grows this lovely texture in only a couple of years, as opposed to some trees which can take decades to develop a good bark. It grows all over the place, and is basically a weed, so cutting some off from a hedgerow (my own) causes no issues rmweb310terraforming233 and a quick snap set back rmweb311terraforming234 Ok now its' the church that is screaming at me......

Jaz Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Terraforming Scripps, now sits in nicely rmweb312terraforming235 The shame is I can't say the same for the Aidensfield Arms, the tweaking continues, I initially allowed for 1960s cars, and realised I needed a shave more if I want to do present day as well. I notice The Goathland Hotel can only house small modern cars, so I won't go over board rmweb313terraforming236 rmweb314terraforming237 oh what the 'ell, Deja Vu....a quick fix before I consider tackling the road markings...I won't bore you with the details.......much rmweb315terraforming238 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Jason T Posted January 24, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 24, 2014 For those handrails, brass is definitely the way to go as Plastikard will be too flimsy and prone to warping. Brass is easy to shape and solder, although you may want to use metal blackening on it rather than paint, at least as a base. P.s. the whole overall scene is looking spot on.

Jaz Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Sandside Thank you for metal blackening good idea. Kal as I said would solder. Thank you, and we are really enjoying your own thread. Dark satanic hills. You could rename it 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) Weeeeeeeee Actually playing with my trains this evening. 37 Rfd's sound first with the CMS track cleaner Then an A4 sound with a rake of 4 LNER teaks A midland blue Pullman. and finally Brighton Belle 1938. Some configuration of Traincontroller to adjust the stopping characteristics at Goathland And noticed some point work that is running a bit rough, although only the Pullman derailed, so I think the back to backs may need checking on that. But a bit of fun anyways Edited January 24, 2014 by Kal 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
7APT7 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Hi Jaz Great photos of the pond and the wedding / funeral cars, very good.

Kal Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 HI Roy Nice to hear from you again, as you can see we also thought the top set of Goathland buildings looked best of the two sets. I think Jaz took some videos of at least some of my testing loops. Not sure which she got, but I will be doing some more over the weekend so they will no doubt be captured too. On the top loop Heritage line, things look pretty smooth apart from the Blue Pullman, so I may even give a few more locos a run around. No doubt there will be more snagging required, but good news is the 37 pulled and pushed the CMX up and down the inclines without incident, so that is look good. How did you get on with the SwitchPilot and Resistors for using cobalts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Hungarian chicken goulash well actually it's Paprikas(h), a meal I can honestly say people say, after they have tasted it, is good enough to be in a top restaurant. And for dessert? I'm making a train, if the jelly works out ok I'll do a photo. (It is low calorie jelly and can be VERY temperamental.) Anyway tonite meals is all started so I am off to do modelling.

Jaz Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 FYI I have been sorting out links on page one to videos (including some of our trains running) and photographs, I am on page 10 so far. And as we are at page 99 this might take a while!!!!!! Still for those who like to see some of the locos or AV on a walkabout page one is the place to be.

Kal Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) This wouldn't look too out of place on Shefield Park Kal! Built in Brighton of all places! My love of kettles must be in my blood, being from a big railway town. HA ha ha!!! Now it looks very old fashioned but can you imagine the pure excitement back in the late Edwardian period taking your first trip to London behind Gladstone? Pure splendor! LBSCR Gladstone.jpg I meant to say this earlier...but that Loco looks fantastic. Does anyone make and RTR or kit of it? Yes I know I can and I will google it, but first hand knowledge is often more useful. Edited January 25, 2014 by Kal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold ChrisN Posted January 25, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 25, 2014 I meant to say this earlier...but that Loco looks fantastic. Does anyone make and RTR or kit of it? Yes I know I can and I will google it, but first hand knowledge is often more useful. LBSCR Gladstone.jpg Kal, I think the short answer is 'no'. The long answer is that it is a 19th loco and the R-T-R companies do not touch anything that did not last until BR days. They do a number of pre-grouping models, (Pre-1923) but all of them lasted at least until the 1950s. Victorian locos are useually only available as kits, mostly brass ones, which is an issue for me as so far I have not learnt to solder kits together. As for making my own chassis........... Victorian railways were different. The locos looked brilliant, and were not as big as 20th century ones. There were a lot of 4 and 6 wheel coaches, and everything was kept CLEAN.
