    Working arial ropeway has been done in O gauge to perfection https://scontent.fbrs1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/1399066_576042389116108_1657768248_o.jpg?oh=c5aab6a60f9f79536648d22b79d049c2&oe=5A883260 this was at the Cardiff show many years ago , the same person has done a layout also in O gauge featuring just the working ropeway , all handbuilt , i have a video on my phone will try and upload it soon . The layouts do not appear in public very often , only then in the South Wales areahttp://www.cardiffmodelrailwayshow.co.uk/

    Joined a Facebook group last night , within 10 mins , deleted my post / pictures , why you may ask ? Put a pic of a vintage bulldozer (for that's what the group was about) as my first post , the said bulldozer was a shade of green and rust , so I referred to it as a rust bucket for which it was , only to then have the moderator replying that ' language and statement's ' like that would not be tolerated with an emoji of an angry face , well I was an instant goodbye from me !

    The photo was described as the scrap bay , but if anyone knows otherwise please post, may have been a materials handling bay for other materials , but in the photo you can see ladles either side of the tippler. If it was for coal , lime etc I would imagine that this would have been unloaded and stockpiled not as the pic shows , directly into ladles ? Any information appreciated

    hopefuuly so , wiill run a threaded bar between the girders for the longitudinal movement , something similar for the hoist cross movement and a geared motor for the winch and hook . Was thinking of making a slab tongs or using a electro magnet to pick up the slab , will see as i progress , May use 0.7mm lengths of nickel silver square rod for a buzz bar to pick up the contact for some of the motors as in real life , the nickel silver rod is actually cheaper than using plastic rod !

    Seems it's nearly a year since I thought of building this layout, I've made a start

    You could try bending the wire with the use of a small round rod held between your thumb and forefinger and drawings the wire form the curve , also you could anneal the wire by heating it to make it easier to bend

    we should be exhibiting with the first showing of Crossley scrap a 4ft model based on the scrapyard at Shipley, so yes some small layouts and it is a small show , having exhibited twice once with BSC Shepcote Lane tippler siding and Penny lane depot also doing a demonstration this year, maybe it is quality over quantity BSC Shepcote Lane tippler sidings Penny Lane depot Crossley scrap hope to see you all there , probably my son will be operating the scrap layout and i may do a demonstration again ?

    Just happened to find this issue with lochside in today , even went as far as to build a replica of this when I was about 15 ! That was 37 years ago ! This type of layout was a total inspiration for me back in the day, simple but effective design thanks Mr Ian futers
