    Louise Road, 2mm shed layout.

    in Layout topics

    Posted

    Could I make the following suggestions?  I think the left and right hand sides of the layout look perhaps too symmetrical, to the extent that it might jar and annoy/ruin an illusion, so could you start your backscene before the junction, on the left hand side, hiding the junction (it doesn't need to be under scenery if you didn't want to, you could just have a back scene hiding it, or you could have removable scenery to allow access to the junction for derailments, cleaning, etc.)

     

    Similarly, you could hide the sharp curve on the approach to the right hand junction and make the run in between similar to the Dawlish sea wall area you reference above. There is at least one very short tunnel through an outcrop in that section which could be modelled for extra interest, and as I say to hide the sharp curve.

     

    I wonder if it is also possible to have the station curve concave as you look at it from the operating well, rather than convex.  It might help with the sharp corners at each side of the station?

     

    The edit of your drawing, below, hopefully conveys my meaning, although I appreciate I just scribbled quickly, and it is very rough and ready.

    There you go - I had not heard of the F-86D........apparently only 25% common parts with the F86.....

    Yes, a markedly upgraded machine. Radar, more powerful (and augmented engines) to name just two improvements. 
     

    originally developed as an interceptor, from memory.

    Pity about the addition of reheat.......as in many CG aircraft with no reheat suddenly showing flames.....

    Maybe the designer had seen a D model with its reheat lit and either figured no-one could tell the difference or assumed all -86s were so equipped without checking. 

    Alternatively, being an Eminem record maybe they just didn’t give a…

     

    (as an aside, I always thought it was a great homage to licence to Ill)

    Steven, is that a typo or are you party to information not yet in the public domain? Or is it wishful thinking...?

    End of Warley National Show - but now it's not the end of a show at the NEC.

    in Exhibitions

    Posted

    I managed to take my father to the 2022 show, his first Warley visit at the ripe young age of 74, and he thoroughly enjoyed it. He was a bit like a kid in a sweetie shop and the whole weekend was a joy; so much so we had planned to attend together the following year. Unfortunately he succumbed to a long running illness at the start of November 2023 and we lost him.

     

    One of my most loving memories will be of taking him to the show and enjoying all there was to see.

     

    Thank you to everyone involved for giving so many of us such a spectacle and such lovely memories.

     

    Best wishes to everyone at the club and in connection with the event.

     

    Scott.
