shanks522 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Hi Dave, Absolutely fantastic modelling, I had to take a second look on some of the photo's because they look so real! Your attention to detail is excellent. Graham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doughnut Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 Thanks chaps. Nervy moment when I tried to light that signal. I suppose I'll have another one when I eventually try to run a train. Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Welly Posted May 26, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 26, 2014 Oh! With the bright evening sky behind the signal gantry, the whole scene looked so real that the spirit level and the brick wall did not show up first time round! The knitting helps with the atmosphere.

Kal Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Groovy baby! I was inspecting the pictures of the signals, against the prototype picture below.... Thinking, damn he is spot.... Then i noticed the spirit level.........? Doh! It is another layout picture not the prototype. Not sure, what you spray on your layout , but can you send me a bottle. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckymucklebackit Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 First class modelling, from someone who can sympathise about the trials and tribulations of wiring colour light signals, mine still are not fully wired. Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Signals again this week. Wiring -up to be precise. My Pride and joy Scratch built signal Gantry with signals M8 & M9. Based on the latest thing. ie not bulbs but LEDs, these are built using Tri-coloured LED's, which allows multi-colours from one aspect. Multi-arm feathers too. Breathed a huge sigh of relief when they all worked. Big signal gantry in Minsterley station wired up now too. The end of the line is in sight, at last....not long before trains are GO!! Dave seriously good modelling, exceptionally life like.....green with envy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doughnut Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 Many thanks. Been at the wiring again today and yes Jim, its one of those tasks you're happier to be at the end of than at the beginning. Just 2 more 3-Apect signals to do this week at some stage and the signalling is then done ......just like my back!! From your pics Jaz, looks like Kal is on his back looking up at the underside of one or two tables, as well. Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkie_pudd Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 had a brain fart meltdown at all the detail in the pics in unbelieveable..... what wall & spirit level ? ----- oh yeh never noticed till read folks posts.. could play for ages just operating the lights never mind running trains even when they are can run. done yourself proud Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doughnut Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 Cheers Ken. Yes,I didn't notice the spirit level myself, till it was mentioned. Starting to look like Blackpool Illuminations round here, with all these red, amber and green lights. Dave 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rory Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 This is absolutely incredible. As has been said countless times, the attention to detail is absolutely ridiculous. I kept having to work out whether the pictures were something you based the model on, or the model itself. A joy to read the thread from start to end this afternoon!

Doughnut Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 Many thanks Rory for your kind comments. It's very satisfying to read that someone has enjoyed the thread and pics. Putting a couple more up in a few minutes. Dave 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
