RMweb Premium dhjgreen Posted October 6, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 6, 2017 You think I should go 7mm ? In the spirit of discussions elsewhere, I was wondering which breed of 4mm! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted October 6, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 6, 2017 Ah, Peafore, Eeh-hem or Double-zero... As the track is unlikely to be operational, although fitting a FY each side would be possible, I might opt for 7ft just to be different. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted October 6, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 6, 2017 In keeping with the name, I'm possibly thinking of a yellow brick warehouse, with a red line of bricks about half way up, with a flattish roof with a sprinkling of snow... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianusa Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 (Hand up!) I know, I know; its a 8" x 8" photo taken over a layout with: A canal A crane A narrow gauge line, with wagon turntables A Victorian style railway overbridge A single, standard gauge platform A warehouse A small goods yard Two high level rail bridges or maybe a picture of the real thing! And you thought you could fool me!!! Brian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted October 7, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 7, 2017 But does it feature a bathroom ceramics factory, or any of their products?? Not decided yet, I need to assess how much room there is left once the list above has been added. But a butty or barge with said items might be included.

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted October 7, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 7, 2017 Actually, I've made this scene before... I made a twin track module for a group module project shown at the West of England show in 2009. It was 2ft long and took two weeks to make - I called it 'Frenzied Wharf'. This will obviously be a cut down version, but the essence will be the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Huw Griffiths Posted October 8, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 8, 2017 I do like a challenge !! This 8" x 8" square baseboard will contain : A canal ... In 4mm. You missed the toilet I'm not so sure. These days, I'm led to believe that toilet waste tends to be stored onboard canal boats, until it can be disposed of at "sanitation stations" etc. However, I suspect that this might not always have been the case - let's just say that, at various times, I could imagine some people being reluctant to drink canal water ... .

Odd as it may sound, a nice cooling pint of the Kennet and Avon would not be my first choice, even now..... Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
