Fathers' day, my backside. This is the 3rd cup of tea I've made myself whilst everyone else is still asleep.
-
Certainly some inspirational thinking there which could be applied to other working elements Brian. I assume the bridges are weighted so they fall when the motor is reversed?
-
It was. This shot illustrates how much of an inconvenience the GNR services would be to LNWR traffic.

I noticed a link on the Stafford Railway Circle's website last night which has led me to spend some hours looking at these collections of images particularly the Stafford Common area with its long-gone salt works. http://picasaweb.google.com/clogandknocker/OldStaffordToUttoxeterRailwayLine https://picasaweb.google.com/JANenFONS/StaffordToUttoxeterRailwayPastAndPresent I'd be interested to try and find out how long some of the PO salt wagons lasted into BR years.

I would certainly doubt that; it's currently having some minor amendments made to the tooling.
-
two weeks today I shall be papping myself over last minute arrangements.

has been QCing the Spittal Brook again; purely in the interest of Members' day of course
-
Well spotted. The church is on the left as you head from Mottram to Glossop.
-
It's at this point that I feel very, very guilty about saying to Dave I could make the space for the layout with fiddle yard for Members' Do! However I'm really, really looking forward to seeing it in the flesh and when I saw Dave's pic I'm delighted we'll get to see it in this form.

remembers 'Chard from before he knew him.

Oh no Bungle; Zippy's dead! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-13693811

Absolutely; I'd also be interested to hear from any non-RMweb Model Rail readers who may be entering!
-
just cannot keep pace with the PM and email traffic at the mo. Please bear with me.
-
Not necessarily Sam; it just has to be railway related.
-
From the dialogue I've had it seemed to have been the factory who moved them (from the CAD elements provided) on the assumption that they were incorrect. The error is being corrected.
-
That's correct, this shot of robertcwp's that's appeared here shows the offset - http://www.flickr.com/photos/robertcwp/2189197301/

BP; it would certainly be helpful as a reference point from the online voting 'forms' so that voters can get a good overview of the entry.
-
is rebuilding images and the gallery at the mo. There may be intermittent interruptions in the Gallery.

A further update for you courtesy of Dapol Dave on the CADs for the Western. Currently the Western is complete in a single CAD form but the following issues have been identified to be addressed. 1) The manufacturer has altered the grilles so they are on the centre line and not offset 2) The fuel tank and battery boxes are hollow and instead should be filled with metal and a cavity for a very large speaker inserted. This will also allow the addition of the pipes under the fuel tank. 3) The exhausts require more modelling as they are not yet satisfactory This particular CAD output does not include the step access points in the bodyside and the opening grille for later examples etc. That all important brow above the windows is looking very good as are the complex angles and curves across the face of the loco.

the fund-raising raffle starts tomorrow - there are some cracking prizes, close to £1000 worth!
-
Yes please! It's a regret that mine are lost in the mists of time, grainy B&W snaps from a Zenit EM in murky weather processed in dad's darkroom (the larder). Nah, it's probably as well they're lost.
-
thanks Pirouets for the document he did on what reas of the site can be improved which concentrated thoughts and improvements over the last few days.
-
In theory I doubt someone would be using a tortoise within such a project but that isn't what I intended to mean by a control mechanism or panel. Anyway have you run out of menus and buttons to pick on?
-
I'm happy to say that any control mechanisms or panels, power supplies and such like can fall outside the 20" x 11".
