I've been really enjoying the photos of Kirkby Malham (and some of Canal Road, I think) that Chris has been posting on Facebook:

Yes; several times - to say that we can't work out the common factor. It's not at the server end, it's something at the user end and their browser. Try it when logged out or on another browser to prove that point.

I have tried this on a different iPad and it worked fine.

however what I did notice is that the working iPad is running software 16.2 whereas the other is running 15.6, so I am just updating this to test, and I will post back my results

I have this issue - but I only get it when I’m logged in, if I’m logged out I can read it but as soon as I log in I get the white screen - on iPhone, iPad safari and chrome, mac safari and chrome, and on a brand new pc straight out the box (so not a memory/cache issue)

 

I think it’s sommat to do with our profiles, but I don’t know what it would be.

 

try logging out and see if it works?

got this same issue.

has any answer come back from the admins????

Those are truly stunning. You should be rightfully proud of that work.

Serious question - do you do commissions?

No I am afraid not, with a busy family and work life I only just manage to get my own stuff done

I agree with all the above comments, Derek. Although I have painted and lined 4 and 7mm locomotives, it's the part of making a model that still causes me the greatest angst and I've never had the courage to attempt a fully lined Midland carriage. All power to his (obviously steady) elbow.

After now doing 5 coaches I have learnt a couple of tricks.....but the only one I would recommend is take your time. They are certainly not Larry Goddards or Ian Rathbone standard ....I think I need a few more decade years of practice!!!

One should perhaps give some credit to the example set by his father!

Absolutely!!!! I wouldn't have attempted them otherwise!

Impressive. I'm especially enjoying the gas pipes and other roof furniture. Are they standard issue with the Slaters 7 mm scale kits? 

Hi Compound2632

yes these are the standard ones in the kit. probably the easiest bit of the build! 

thanks 

spotted something in BRM this month!!!

Oi!! gerroff 'me' cake and flapjack.

 

I think we should get back to matters railway, and leave cake for the needy (that's me if your asking).

Just a few more piccies of the workings into Kirkby Malham, with the class M bringing in empty cattle wagons from Skipton, ready for the dale head market the next day.  One of the shots is of it being turned.

Meanwhile, the last passenger train of the day, the 7.15pm ex Bradford (Market Street) behind one of Mr Deeley's new 0-6-4 tank engines.

I am waiting for some electro magnets to be delivered, then work will start on installing them plus the signal levers.

This will entail having to take the layout apart once more, so that I can work on each board balance on my bench.   There are quite a number of signals to go on the line, so it might take me some time.

In the meantime, the train services will be suspended but a horse bus will operate between Kirkby Malham station and Skipton High Street.

Dad,

3rd picture down..... are these 43' Brake thirds & All Thirds?

Just about to start lining mine this week. i have been through 20 odd pages of your posts so far (will keep looking) and trying to get a close up of yours (presume Larry painted & lined those?)

( on review of those photos i have just noticed i have a kink in that left hand rail onto the double slip!!!! )

Here are the other piccies I had meant to include on my last posting. The 'puter decided to play it's own game and refused to do what I told it. Just like the children used to do.

The lack of a back scene is very obvious, and that must be one of my priority jobs.

Derek

That 4-4-0 has certainly done some miles over the years Dad!!!!!!

Looking good Dad!

That old narrow loco has been thru some tough times! I recall it had a coach with it for excursions.

Nope I used a scriber you gave me dad! ...its your age u forget!

Btw the station was Luffenham serving both north and south luffenham villages.....and seeing it was a midland station I think I can get away with correcting before someone else does!

Any old pointed implement. I use a metal scriber. It was my dads and is probably older than me. My son has made model buildings and uses (I think) a dart. He made a lovely model of North Luffenham station (Rutland) using this method.

Good luck with it. Make sure you keep the horizontal courses ---horizontal.

At least it is cheap.

Derek

Shouldn't a station pilot of performed the carriage shunting duties????

I remember that level frame well on that grassington layout and it got alot of use!!!! Did we have working signals on the exhibition layout....I can't remember??

That 0-4-4WT has certainly done some miles over the years....ye old faithful as i seem to remember!

Don't worry Dad it just a sabbatical from 4mm/OO!!! 

I see it as something to practice on a larger scale for me to make my mistakes before going back down - plus it would not be good to have those locos simply in a box or display cabinet now would it!?!

Plus also it gives you an excuse to tinker - when mum wanders into the garage and catches you doing something on a slightly larger scale for us! ;)

Sure am pleased!!

Looks fantastic Dad....looking forward to getting the track work as well, so I can get the basis of the layout sorted (maybe I should start a thread on here!!!!)

btw, do I need to get the local coal merchant to do me a delivery for when the 2F arrives.....?
