David Todd Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 Looking @ Dp Tonight, ......... I think I have taken more to piece's, than I have put together........... But, I have learnt a lot,...some of you, create model layout's you never complete and start another,then another. A learning curve I suppose. My creation of DP,in my own way, I can take out most of the item's, modify, upgrade, practice new "skills" on the occasional dining table. Very few,item's, are permanently, glued, in place. Even the backscene I could renew, if required, for it is anchored in place, with velcro. A list of thoughts', compiled.......during my week's break, with Kal & Jaz. walking the dog, foraging mushroom's, and also at the Spalding Show. Both platforms' too remove and complete. Foot over bridge to complete. Produce a new DP Signal Box, to 1:76 scale, (scratchbuilt). Renew, the Priory Tunnel Portal. Possibly progress, the 6. signal's required for DP.(or have 2. men at each end,with matching flag's). A possibility of removing the ditch wall,replacing it with PIR. So, that is just a few of them........... 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Todd Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 Moorings', to you, am now back in the deep south, not attending Warley this year, will be going to Broadstairs (Kent) exhibition on the 29/30th Nov. In the above post,I tried to take a pic with the webcam, but was unable to get a close up in focus, they are are better for pics over 18 inches. So, tried with my Panasonic,Lumix. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Todd Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 The backscene you see in the video, is Celotex, a foam cavity insulation board,used in the building industry. In it's raw state,with the aluminium foil still on. I hope to attempt,making it sometime next year.........16.foot long at 300.feet high, which will be reduced to scale......... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3n7L2_zsgVQ 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Todd Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 This video, you will see the backscene,I will attempt next year. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vl4yW55TtF8 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Did wonder where it went to, from my fleet of 5, now 4 ! Also left my breakfast mushroom hunting scarf,on a kitchen table chair. oooh no...this one went back in the bag....I will hunt for the other out, did you find the unpainted pigeon I dropped in the ink bottle!!!! You left the brick sheet here too!!!!!.....we leave far too much to the last minute....... I found the scarf it is neatly folded in the bedroom, it can await your return or be posted back asap.

Jaz Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 your efforts on the roofline and the walkway are really lifting this area..... once you put the ballast back down permanently....when you are happy with the way the tracks work....the next millennia or so LOL this will make for great photographs. We have left loose ballast down in the past for ages...it rarely interferes with the running (careful near points) with so much excellent detailing in place its a shame to see the bare peco 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 You'll be please to know I am winning with the salt finish too on the VDUs......can you pop me up a picture of the colours an upright should be, and the colours a hanger should be. The extra coats of paint ...slowly.....get rid of the 'rough' finish. I am also painting the electronic boards and think once on the layout with everything else they will not be so obvious to nit pic. I'll add pictures later for you to see the progress.I think the drawback is the product needs soak up some paint first, and it strengthens it, so hopefully the little bars are not so fragile. Hope you still have the missing pair, else I can try to mock a couple up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
