David Todd Posted September 24, 2013 Author Share Posted September 24, 2013 Had a very enjoyable time, last week end at the ModelRailLive, show at Newark, Thanks for the hospitality, Kal & Jaz............arboretum-valley In need of help in the picture below. Where the orange marker is, there appears to be a "ground shunt signal". I cannot determine what it is,..........unable to take pics from front view, inside,the tunnel. Can only guess,it is indication for which way the scissors crossing is set, approaching from the south,out of the tunnel,on the righthand track. What would the colours be ?.2.whites,shewn for set ahead,......2.reds, set ahead closed ? sorry if I have the wrong,terminology. PrioryStationDover075 by David Todd 2012, on Flickr Here it is in close up, but only from the rear, it was explained to me in the super.'s office, it is a shunt sig. as Dover is a Reversible line station. 1.

Jaz Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 The real brickwork looks like a reverse from a plastic sheet, if you copied that really well someone would surely say it looked awful, wouldn't they? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

P1070206(1) by David Todd 2012, on Flickr P1070205(1) by David Todd 2012, on Flickr Can't really see it be eye,G. But the camera picks it out quite well,has been irking me for awhile now.. it also put's the platform extensions out of gauge,at two points. No big deal to me,as all are mock up's except, the back scene,with scenery. The platform's will be located,on wood dowel's,through the b/board's,for their final position's, no gluing,so they can lift out. The ballasting,was a practice session, Lofty sr, showed my how to do it,from the tunnel portal,half way,I did the rest of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
