i think i see the prblem you meen... you would end up with a double (vertical bar on the ground floor... ,,,,mmm 

I was wondering if the terace houses could slightly arc around in a simular fasiion to rail line and then using another part of a pub to turn end corner  ... would be alot of work and faf cutting up 1 oub and end of both terace houses..  mmm

can you photo the first option from above to see the end of pub v retaing wall...  and edge of board as have a idea  

Is that really a model ladybird.... that would be TINY

Hi..

Ooo that's got nice detail. Dose it light up? As light through stain glass can create a nice look on pavement 

Focus depth on phones is a bit errm... anoying even if it has 2 lenses that it cannot extend the depth. i used photoshops stack images by focus method to get both close and distant in focus

Eye dropper or a syringe helps control application

I agree with that. but caveated slightly, pla is brittle abs is a bit more forgiving and can be bent without snaping, but it has a weekness along the layer lines, kind of like wood grain, and it aslo depends on how well the layers fused it can be strong if designed with the layers (grai) in the correct alignment for strength. thats where injection modling is better as it has no layers. i have been known to lamitante (ply wood style) 2 parts to make a strong fixing etc... 

basicaly understand your tools and materials  

finaly got around to finding circuit drawing program. This is current version of circut, bit crude atm, and need to explore ways to avoid coil burnout  rather than releying on me remeber to oly activate it for a few seconds.

What an absolutely superb, atmospheric photo, just crying out to be modelled.

thats exactualy what i thought sooo full of atmosphere 

cool thanks... "Block Buffers" or "dumb buffers" was  the money shot..  as knowing correct term helps find it, and wooden buffers brings up more of buffer stops than on a loco..

Many Thanks.. 

A question about indutrial loco's and wooden beam buffers, has anyone got a pics of a standard gauge loco that had a beam buffer attached (hope that's the right name) as standard buffers can snag on tight yard radiuses..

I aslo assume that at one point a anything gose policy probably applied (due to being on private rails etc.

any pointers helpfull  

that is a seriously nice model...  you can heer the sounds, and feel the summer breeze ... by just looking at pictures..

There's no BT boxes in the car park at Castle Cary

ooo real world model ...  my bad.. just looked like a BT road bodge...  but still fantastic model

This is using a gaugemaster dcc27. With attached stay alive capacitor, solderd to DC end of diode rectifyer 

And a simple transistor (2N3096 PNP) switch circuit that lets the coil be driven from DC of diode rectifyer, to avoid to much amp draw through the dcc decoder like this one were relay is coupler coil  

The Coil is wound in 36AWG enamaled wire and i used green and purple function wires so inderpendent rear and front control

find me on thingiverse (will publish stl files etc. , just want to write it up properly

love the private livery look...  going to nick that idea.. but not the same livery.. just idea 

i had a quick look at those buildings, and they do a nice set. a good balance, and matching feel etc...  and you cannot have to many pubs esp in stagering distance, very typical of the peroid, probably to many really, and probalby why we now see so many closing in last few years.

Thanks.  I like the second photo's collection of buildings.  Food for thought there!

yep not sure what they are.. (about 18 mins in)... even look long since abandond even in 1930

because one of my brothers dedicated half his time to trying to get fish out of them

lol sounds like he didn't get many...  

theres alot of old films on that web site.. and its a very nice interface to find stuff..

intresting isn't it
