Coombe Barton Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Some pix: Hythe Parkway - St Simon Squeezebelly lane - complate with armchair and standard lamp Two of Wadebridge Bill's Barn - it's only a couple of inches long. A hand of god moment (well, Darren, actually) But I couldn't let this one go without offering it for a caption competition. Once again, thanks for a great day.

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted April 29, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 29, 2012 As mentioned in the main thread for the Members Day, here is a thread to bring together images of todays events. Here are just a few from me to be getting the thread started. Most of the gathering at 'Bath Green Park' and 'Tamerig Central', in the premises of the Taunton Model Railway Group at Bishops Lydeard last night, who very kindly opened their clubroom up for us again to have a play on their layouts: Our Dear Leader officially opens the Members Day today: ..to rapt attention...! Stationmaster Mike explains something to Darren about his tunnel module in the smaller hall: And the obligatory photo of Brian Harrap at lunchtime, sat with Darren, whilst Phil Eakins tries a form of sign language behind... I'll post more photos up soon... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted April 29, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 29, 2012 Just a few more before my batteries finally run out! Andrew Eaton (left), Nick 'Brinkly' Rogers and Brian 'Taz' Hingston getting a feel for the kitchen before things really got going... The hall at an early stage of setting up: The excellent wagons by Tigger deserve more attention! Neil 'BlackRat' Sullivan with a Top Secret device...!

Wummyock Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 My daughter thought the tunnel module was the best bit.Just her opinion of course without causing offence to other module makers!Oh and she did question me on the way home wether Mudmagnet really did make the bits and pieces in his depot building.

Phil Copleston Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Here are my snaps from a most enjoyable day with friends: Marc Smith's 7mm layout 'Poynton Sneer Sidings' (groan) complete with convincing onboard and ambient sound General view of the hall with Phil Eakins' delightful 7mm layout 'Wadebridge 1860s' in the foreground... with Brian Harrap looking on mid-shot and BlackRat (Neil) in the background! More of Phil Eakins' 7mm layout 'Wadebridge 1860s' - that's Phil operating Brian Harrap's Z-scale (and that's ProtoZ scale folks) micro layout 'Mini ZOB' - that's all of it, there's no more! Jerry Clifford (Queensquare), Brian Harrap and Re6/6 survey the rather daunting approach track plans for Jerry's 2mmFS magnum opus... Bath Queens Square I like this - a wind-up rucksack layout! I have some of these same wind-up clockwork American-style train sets myself, and I was amazed to discover that they scale out exactly to 3mm scale with a track gauge of 14.2mm. Hmmm possibilities of wind-up 3mm finescale... I like this one too - Stubby47's 'From a Carriage Window' an inventive and a truly neat bit of perspective modelling And this is what it looks like in reality. Clever and thought provoking Good layouts and neat modelling all. Shame there was no S scale, tho'... But ohhh, I forgot to photograph the end-of-the-day cake auction! (mostly snapped up by BlackRat, I might add) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold griffgriff Posted April 30, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 30, 2012 The ' from the carriage window' scene reminds me of the work of (IIRC) the late Jack Nelson... I remember in the MRC many years back a collection of his LNWR, GC and CLC cameos and dioramas in all sorts of scales .... My favorite was the signal box at Manchester London road which had a very similar forced perspective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilEakins Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 What I want to know is - who was that old codger that was operating my layout? Thanks to Martin, Nick and Brian for stepping in while I took a break (and doing far better than I was) - rumour has it that CK was seen with the controller in his hand! Anyway there's a pasty in it for anyone who can grass up the the imposter, can't be me ......... Phil PS Thanks to CTHJHF - dammit Madeline, for sorting out my lunch today and to Andy Y for providing pudding - they know what I mean! PPs [Edit] For thick fingers!

RMweb Gold Trevellan Posted May 1, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 1, 2012 Okay, here's part 2 from me. First, Bath Green Park MPD: Then, the "anything goes" roundy-roundy on t'other side of room: I spotted this in the station museum - the man is everywhere... Now at the Cross Keys, how about this for a dessert? My GP would have had a heart attack if I had eaten it! So, who was the major gannet? Yes, none other than Master York. Note that four spoons were provided so the cholesterol could be shared with others. Not a chance . And finally, a sort of group picture, with everyone suddenly well-behaved. It didn't last... Off on an errand now, but I'll make a start on the Sunday shots when I return. Enjoy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
