And then i have not bought anything of theirs new in ages.

Just second hand HST stock in blue grey with a certain glazing tint.

Want doppler effect, Valentas were great for this.

I can catergorically state that they weren't based on SECR stock 😉

The base vehicles surveyed were LB&SCR D47, D33, D45, D34 and D44, before they were butchered about...

What was the point of that?

They could have painted them up but left as models rather than toys.

Thanks for the mentions of the proposed route to the Lizard.

I have a vague memory of a scheme to connect to Penryn as well.

Was it via Gweek and Constantine?

 

Constantine is not very big, Gweek small, but Argal dam was not built them AFAIK. That hill out of Argal is definitely a full throttle one when towing.

Would have been very scenic.

So got a few to replace with Meth burners.

Steam car, and a couple of traction engines (not mine).

My TE is meths as is my 2 cylinder engine

That is tight, the switch blade of the forward turnout (at far left) appears to reach back right to the check rail of the next turnout and similarly on the frog side. It's like they needed every mm of that siding length.

I think I may 3D print these as Peco Bullhead are very pricy.

But I need a squirty plastic printer as build be too small on Mars2 Pro.

Careful now!

One of the TeamViewer team might be logging onto your computer and rearranging your thoughts .. any time now. 😉

Can't even log in now , they removed limited use mode.

And work pay them,  i have used better.

Remote desk top is better

Bl**dy teamviewer I wish they would stop messing up the way it works.

They should get back to software and give up football.

Also one in Portsmouth, Genesis Expo, currently closed.  I went with my son when he was small and keen on dinosaurs. He liked the dinosaurs, I found the whole thing hilarious.

Which singer?

Peter Gabriel or Phil Collins?

Well the Creation Museum clearly shows humans, squirrels and velociraptors peacefully coexisting so who's the fool now?

0.5mm brassswire

Cury / White Cross / Cross Lanes.

 

Viaduct over the valley with stream going to Poldhu.

 

East side of Mullion, where it is flat.

 

Lizard would be possible as quite flat.

 

 

I wa sonce wondering if this could have happened so I worked out a rough route with OS maps. Mullion MAY have made sense, but south of there all smallish villages.

However Porthleven MAY have had enough traffic.

Coverack / St Keverne would have been doable, but again traffic.

Just found this

No where near Mullion, but the last bit I had more or less correct.

Do not eat your razor saws.

They do have warnings.

No Idea

I just use Lotus Smartsuite's Approach on Win 10, have been using Smartsuite since Win 3.1

Pre Windows I had used dBase and S-Base (or was it R-Base?) on PC and Beta Base on BBC Micro.

I use a rather powerful version capable of running 50 user systems quite successfully.

I've translated the Harris info into a database (*.dbf format), which can be searched, I have all the lots in but haven't finished tidying it up.

I still find errors when I open it!☹️

Unfortunately RMWeb doesn't support dbf files or even zip, so I can't upload it.

 

Which dialect?

My favourite is the Extended Systems (Sybase) version of CDX, then COMIX, then NTX

Got to be quick into the thread before it is complete.

Yes, Helston was built on a rather congested site and actually was not intended to be the terminus at all. The land slopes quite strongly around it and laying down extra sidings would not have been cheap to do.

Most of these will be sidings, but recovering the concrete sleeper stuff will save money.

2 undamaged points, 3 heavy damage, a few from a garden circuit last house.

10, or 11 so far being checked, so far one may be scrap, need 4 springs so far.

Heaviest repair so far is one third copper clad, and i just worked out a new repair method for the point motor sectoon.

I am going to give a shout out to the hobby givers.

The people teaching, the free software people, the free 3d designs.

It is great that people give freely to the hobby.

New value of recovered track is over 100 now.

Rebuilt one point onto copper clad sleepers.

Also was given a lot of old flexi track with steel rail, will strip dome for sleeper base.

I reckon i will lose the equivalent of 1 piece of concrete track.

4 good points, 2 needing small repairs, 1 needing rebuild, at least 6 still to lift.

I found i got steadier from 50 or so, less wobbling , but my sight is a pain.

I bought what is basically a soldering stand to help me.

My worries about white metal soldering came true.

Will be making a new tank filler from plastic card.

Will use devcon for the rest of the castings.

And the next loco kit is a lot more white metal. Not just detailing bits.

Roof on, now found I need 0.7mm drill so paused on chassis for a week or two

One tank filler melted, plastic card replacement required, will use spare etch for missing footstep.
