  1. can i ask whats the first coach.. (sorry for ignorance.. ) found it a ex LNER BG coach.. i asume..
  2. oooo intresting layout you would like my old pub model
  3. after a few busy days managed to get started on other canal wall.. (ts missing top stone layer as this will be layed after to align with the cobbled yard surface. with track inserted its a daz clay rollled flat and with PVA stuck to a hardboard back and left under a wieght until dry. then scribed with a small xmas cracker special bradle like the bodge job the owner of a certian pub on drainage i then check hieght with my 2 ply and plastic blue tack which is set at proposed water level A final dry brush on top will come when kerb stones are on.. and the ground will be silted with clay (esp near pub part)
  4. that sounds like the power fails for a sec, and thus reboots i presume thats on clean track with no plastic frogs etc..
  5. nice : and ok what did you use for the smoke effect?
  6. that looks good just slope the road and pavement a litte os it turns the corner and do most of the slope on the rendered wall, as easy just to add some more clay at bottom..
  7. thanks.. and intresting. i asume it works like standard RC car tech..? dose each wagon / coach have differnet address, (kind of like real life ) thats A LOT of numbers to track, without "acidently" unhiching the 3rd class from the express train in mid flow... My tests so far is that coil can run on 0.2Amp atm, (12v supply and 470R resistor) the key is to use a magnet and this is repeled, thus gives 50% (ish) of the power when coil is used. i am also looking at timing monostable circuits to further reduce meltdown and thus relistic somke effect fire hazard also talking to people who know way more about electc stuff than me..
  8. in autocad that is "facetres" and set it to 10 nice modeling, i do apriciate a good bit of CAD work
  9. hi.. looking good give it a sand to take some of bumps out. and i agree get roof aligned and pack underside, this can be clayed on pub side wall and if the pavement climbs a little toward the house pavements are good for hiding gaps.
  10. I like to use joke/silly names that make people look etc.. aka "Timpson, Wills, and Timpson" aka using the family name style or a modern name made old aka "Eastpoint Wharf Shipping" aka EWS steam trains with red and yellow livery (this is for fleet of private loco's to service a yard) I also do the same with posters like https://scarfolk.blogspot.com/ but older style. and have a few gems hidden away for the keen eyed viewers, as not in plain sight Wonder if you could play on this fake news stuff that seems to be ever present atm..
  11. and the best greek status are carved on the back properly
  12. would any of these help? https://player.bfi.org.uk/search/free?location=Bala%2FY+Bala&subject=Steam+trains not even sure if correct location
  13. nice bridge .. but wouldn't it be easyer to use strips of plastic layered ontop of each other, rather than cutting holes.?
  14. nice.. love the green reminds me of a old church near where i grew up acording to wiki
  15. lol... mildly acurate for kent, all metal has to be bolted down... but i found them late last night.. after spending hours looking . to then be told by better half that they where put on the shelf. when she found it on the floor..
  16. intresting yep but not look 100% atm.. but its defanity a option. do you have a supplier site ?
  17. yep autocad can be a pig for curves ... but could you not have drawn both profiles, extruded them and intersected the solids?
  18. At last I think I have got the canal beam engine working at right speed with limited motor noise
  19. Hi all i think (hopefully) you will apriciate this bit of my layout Finaly think i found a motor not to noisy and about right speed for the Canal Pump House Engine and a close up through door... Not to displeased with the sound it makes either happy accident ooo and all drawn (didn't design it Bolton & Watt did ) and 3d printed...
