It appears that the shed has hinged doors, (the photo angle does not show the door opening) .

That means also cutting the doors to fit. The problem then is getting a door-fitting gang to re-hang them because  Little Muddle seem to have beaten you to the available labour.  Negotiations with Kevin ???

I fear that there may be a delay

I think an index is called for. What do you think?

Obviously a volunteer is needed, unless the good burgers of Little Muddle care to stump up a few readies.... How are you fixed for  a few hours of Pro Bono work Mick?  (don't know how that pop star managed to sneak in here! )  

Annie, thanks for the clarification of the prototype of the viaduct being at Hayle. It must be 45 years since I last walked underneath it! 

You are correct about the simulation pillars being too far apart, but they do have a taper if you look closely enough. They just don't look right. I know that I could not attempt to do better! I do admire your patience and ability to correct other people's errors. 

Annie, knowing nothing about simulators , I hesitate to comment. However the support brick columns under the viaduct in your pictures above do look far too thin at just one brick thick.-- where is the prototype?  Having read some of your comments about scenic shortcomings perpetrated elsewhere I though it safe to enquire! 

Your indecision is final ??

A real laugh out loud comment, for me at least!

At this stage prior to adding shading etc these figures are scrubbing up well.

I wonder what's in the boxes?

 

He knows where the bodies are buried, I always had suspicions about that cabbage/potato patch.

Can't offer a photo, but a classmate at grammar school arrived riding his father's Brough Superior ... a real monster of a bike, although he looked ok on it being about 6ft 5inches tall and 17 stone heavy. by far the biggest pupil in the school, in much demand by the Rugby team for second row scrum duty.

As a one time owner of seven (!) Austin Sevens all from within the 1929 to 1934 production period, and identical in appearance to "Murray".

I think that the vehicle  pictured at Seaford is a "BigSeven" probably from about 1938 or later. (I haven't checked the licence plate issue date. ) 

The A7 s  were built to last with quite heavy thickness steel bodywork, and a proper front to back Chassis. As far as maintenance went, they were the equivalent of a big-boy's Meccano set!  I paid no more than £25 each for mine in 1958 / 1960 .

Being a Ludite and too tight to splash out, I don't have a smart phone, and my cell phone is about 15 years old and lives in the car for emergencies. Total outlay on mobile phone for last three years £20 in top up costs.

Didn't know of a problem with Nebuliser use. Has this been discussed in UK ? No one in my family uses one as far as I know, but I do know a number of asthmatics from my working days.

Hang on, what's the fireman saying!!!

 

'He's added the pep pipe!'

'Just checking its still there'

 

Kevin, I'm intrigued by the brickwork panels inside the viaduct arches. I've not seen such a feature previously. Where did you get inspiration from?  do they have a purpose on the prototype? or are they just decorative? 

I remember the period when European standards were starting to be adopted  by UK Engineering companies. One of my colleagues recognised this change from British  Standards as likely to cost money to our company and that adopting the EU standards gave the Engineers an opportunity to gain an advantage over the Accountants. (The need to invest to meet the new standards)  There were always battles of this kind in industry!   

What happened after Brexit to the EU Standards in common use?  After 20 years of retirement I am pleased to report that I no longer remember the Euronorm Standard numbers which were on my desk.

Have not seen a fox in the last couple of years.

We have pastures behind our rear fence and I used to see a rather shabby looking vixen most mornings returning to her den  under a bramble clump about 60 yards from my garden.

We do have Badgers nearby but I don't know if they would be edible and AFAIK there has been no suggestion that the should be culled. 

Some of the young beef stock in the fields does look ready for market.......and our freezer is nearly empty.......

When Castle Aching Parish Council meets on Zoom, is the discussion recorded?

Those Suffragettes have much to answer for.

The first Computer I saw in industry was in 1963 ,I think, a main-frame in the wages department occupying a room about 15 ft x 10ft . They had sacked 2 lady wage clerks and employed 2 electricians to operated and service it. Every night 2 sets of memory disks ( or memory tape reels ? or punched tape reels ?) were taken across the road for safe storage, One set to the safe in a news agent's shop, the other set to the Chemist's shop 50 yards further away. 

How did cricket get involved?

Are these 3D models? Fusion 360 can use 2D DWGs to create sketches and printing templates, 3D DWGS can be imported and converted into Fusion models the same way as STLS, STEPS etc can. 

No they are 2-D drawings of ground plans and buildings mainly. done on Autocad13 some years ago... Thanks 

I'm glad that I don't know,... I shall sleep easy tonight.

Many thanks for that, I'll give it a go!!

I have a file containing a number of Drawings done in an Autocad programme which I no longer have access to.

I need a cad program capable of reading these files so that I can print them if they are suitable for my purposes.

As i understand it, not all free cad programs will import  Autocad .dwg files.

Any advice.. ?? I have on desire to draw more, hence the search for a Freebie, or one offering a trial period.

Thanks in advance!!

In answer to the question about the direction the spare lamp where stored was....well it seems....random.

 

My go to for Pannier pictures is the numerous volumes of the Pannier Papers and this case I just looked at No 4 as it was first out the bookcase.

 

As an example these are noted in various pictures.

Page 3 - facing in

Page 6 - facing out (x2)

Page 16 - facing in

Page 17 - facing out

 

I do try to double check these things and most of what I do is backed up by some picture or other.

 

A good question nevertheless and one I ran into some time ago when I posted a picture of my Mogul and its spare lamp facing backwards....it caused a few comments then to.

 

A reminder

 

 

Now that was done as it was how the slot done on the Modelu lamp...

 

 

 

And how the Mogul's lamp bracket was modelled ? 

At this point I think that we have seen enough to realise that the Single is rather beyond James's current capabilities and understanding of the engineering requirements of the job in hand.

I suggest that he should admit defeat and shelve the attempt at repair until after the current pandemic when he could either find  a volunteer to visit and advise, possibly "hold his hand" while repairing it, which is the route I think  preferable, so that he would gain some knowledge of the work done and why, or send it to someone with the capability to do the job, obviously at a cost. The problem then becomes one of making decisions as to agreeing what is required.  

Not knowing how he obtained the beast, and how valuable it is to him, it is difficult, at distance, to advise a course of action.  

Lanbton Muffler? 

Seems to me that before you get to the procreation of lambs, you really need a Ramsdale Springs with it's associated Spring Water bottling plant.  

Good to see you on the road to recovery from the plague... take it easy!!  Best wishes.
