  1. Here are a few links. Quality varies. Scale shown where known. Greenfield old west style building links on this page https://modellcom.blogspot.com/ From the Wayback Machine - an American Bank (low relief but easy to convert) - it looks like N scale. https://web.archive.org/web/20150921113943/http://miniatures.about.com/library/printibles/bank2.pdf A Barn with political slogans. The barn is HO scale 1:87. http://www.ss42.com/pt/obama-barn/Obama-Barn.html From the Library of Congress.

  2. You can find a 1:100 card model of 'The Elefanta', a Fairbairns dockside crane (with instructions on how to re-scale) at http://www.bildrum.se/elefanten.htm
  3. You can find a copy in the Wayback machine, the web's backup. Try the link below https://web.archive.org/web/20170204172926/http://global.epson.com/company/sports/formula_one/ Enjoy ! One caveat about the wayback machine. When Archive.org take a snapshot of a site they download everything, including binaries. (What this means is they also backup any malware on the site). My copy of Norton says the above link is OK, but be aware of potential problems with the Wayback Machine if you ever brows past pages.
  4. No problems today. On a similar post posted yesterday some users are saying that 'Kaspersky thinks 'prototype.js' is a trojan'. On that post Andy Y is saying that problem is fixed, so things might be back to normal. Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year. Martin.
  5. I just had the same me message from Norton again so the problem has not gone away. The site is also 'dropping' my sign-in.
  6. Norton is reporting that the rmweb site is infected with 'Fake browser update 8'. See https://www.symantec.com/security_response/attacksignatures/detail.jsp?asid=30716
  7. I visited the site couple of months ago with the intention of making a donation. The site was still up but is not generating pdf files. I found the same thing today. I did create and download lots of files in 2017, but never got round to making anything with them. I still have the files. I am sure many other files are out there on peoples' hard disks. How about sharing them in the cloud ? It does say on the generated pdf files, 'You are free to use this file for any use', so I assume that includes permission to upload and share the files. Once Christmas and the New Year are over I shall sort out some cloud space and upload a few files.
  8. I once visited one of these locos in the mid 1970s at Tinsley after problems with the hump signal. The locos had cab signalling. From what I can remember the cab signal was a circle which could show a vertical or horizontal bar, similar to a signal repeater. It might have been a row of lights, rather than an arm. The master unit detected the state of the signal via large induction coils, rather like a relay coil with the armature mounted at 90° to the rail. I think the data was transmitted via the rail at radio frequency. I don't know if the use of cab signalling was provided as a result of poor sighting.
  9. Re my suggestion for using the Wayback Machine to find printable card models. A few other useful terms you can use to search the internet archive are foreign language terms for card models. Below are a few suggested terms Card Stock Model Bouwplaat Recortable Kuppark Knutsel Knutseld Knutselen Bastelbogen Kartonmodell Papermodell Kartonmodellbau Modele Kartonowe Kartonowy Modele Papierowe Papercraft Maquettes de Papier Modelos de papel Modelos de carton Recortables Juguetes de papel Modelli di carta Modelli in carta Modellismo in carta Modelli da ritagliare Digmei Niar Pappersmodell That should keep you busy !
  10. I recently responded to a request for a suggestion for a card model of a Welsh chapel and thought that some of the general links I posted might be of use to all card modellers. In my opinion the best resource for card models is Mauther's site. If you scroll down to the bottom of his page you will find links by scale as well as categorizes such as 'buildings'. You can find Mauther's site at https://papermau.blogspot.com/ I would recommend anyone to checkout the Wayback Machine for card models. Just enter 'card models' as a search term and see what it turns up. I have found loads of card models on the site. One caveat. The Wayback machine archive contains binaries, something it was criticized for, so make sure you have an up-to-date virus scanner installed on your computer before visiting the site. You can find the Wayback Machine at https://archive.org/index.php The UK planning portal is also a source of inspiration for the card modeller. Just remember that the content is copyrighted so you can't ripp the files off. It should give you some ideas though. Every council has their own portal, as well as the national portal. The weekly/monthly lists are useful. The national portal is at http://epicpublic.planningni.gov.uk/publicaccess/ An example of a local portal, Sheffield in this case, is https://planningapps.sheffield.gov.uk/online-applications/ An example of a weekly list is https://planningapps.sheffield.gov.uk/online-applications/search.do?action=weeklyList Just click the search button and pick a plan, such a a new build. (You might have to wade through a list of applications to erect extensions or chop down trees etc.). You will find links to plans and elevations under the 'documents' tab. The Glasgow weekly list https://publicaccess.glasgow.gov.uk/online-applications/search.do?action=weeklyList I have also found plans of historic buildings at a couple of American museum sites. One advantage of these sites is the content is out of copyright. The disadvantage is many of the plans are probably only of interest to American outline modellers. Apologies if these links have been suggested before. Martin.
  11. Hi Mike, I known this post is a few months old but I thought I would reply as the information might be of use to other card modellers. An excelent resource for card models is the Wayback Machine at archive.org. The links below have an example of what would pass for a red brick built chapel. You don't say which scale you are using though this shouldn't be a problem as pdf files can be printed to different scales. https://web.archive.org/web/20120108072317/http://members2.jcom.home.ne.jp:80/milk-pot/redch.htm https://web.archive.org/web/20120131115749/http://members2.jcom.home.ne.jp:80/milk-pot/redm1.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20120131115755/http://members2.jcom.home.ne.jp:80/milk-pot/redm2.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20120131050257/http://members2.jcom.home.ne.jp:80/milk-pot/red1.pdf I would recommend anyone to checkout the Wayback Machine for card models. Just enter 'card models' as a search term and see what it turns up. I have found loads of card models on the site. One caveat. The Wayback machine archive containes binaries, something it was criticized for, so make sure you have an up-todate virus scanner installed on your computer before vising the site. My scanner (Norton) says the above links are ok. Another excelent resouce for card models is the https://papermau.blogspot.com/ web page. It has links to card models of all types. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page you will see links to models of different scales and subjects. Best wishes. Martin.
