    Sleepers could be full of extraneous holes, you sure you need to worry?

    Too much automation on computers these days, whatever happened to being able to instal a printer manually?

    This one any good? http://www.s-r-s.org.uk/html/gwb/S574.htm

    Well, life is circular, and like life, Pendon doesn't go away. I wish I had the time to contribute more. Lucky you now have the time and motivation, looking forward to seeing the blog entries and the final results in Pendon.

    For those who don't know about such things, the paint is important. Messages were plastered over these locos. Also, the ex GW engines lost their plates early on, so any numbers painted on were guestimates. One couldn't guarantee you were looking at 7061 (for example), someone had been around with a paint brush, relying on numbers stamped on the wheels (for example). Wheels did move around when a loco was repaired.

      If something fails, I usually blame the instructions. Not that I've read them.

    Was that an official visit? Lot of people around, whenever I went there, the place was deserted.

    One thing that really rerally really irritates me about shopping, is when the shop arbitrarily changes its internal arrangement, so meaning extra time is spent in an environment I want to be out of.

      That is to try and get you to spend more time and money looking for what you want.

      As much as that?

    It was something my mother told me. Can't ask her any more. I believe it was the one immediately by the road bridges, seen in the middle in this picture. http://www.bathintime.co.uk/image/199079/electric-tram-crossing-the-old-bridge-detail-c-1900

    Rode the West Somerset today, all stations manned except one (the usual one).

    Looks like a chimney at that end of the goods shed, I've put a couple of pictures of the shed in my gallery.

    Loudwater

    Sounds good, I know someone who is talking about building a model of Loudwater Station.

    Have you investigated off site storage? Very useful for those things that have to disappear before a house sale. Having got so far with the project would be a shame to dispose of it. Yes, we all have things that could have been done better, but that isn't a good reason to start again.

    Criticism is ignored, then not tolerated

      Think I know what you mean Tim. Very poor show but it's not typical of the group.

    Let there be light...

    Isn't the GW in the background?

    Looks pretty good. Somewhere are pictures of the turntable at Swindon, with broad gauge still on it, and pictures of the turntables at Charfield and Yate. OK they are ex Midland, but might be worth a look.

    Der!

    Is there a standard height for DG couplings please, I can't see one specified anywhere.
  22. Tim V
    Fair enough - so long as you're happy! If you are modelling the viaduct by the Old Bridge, there was an arch there used by the Home Guard in the Second war, how do I know - my Grandfather was in the home guard!
  23. Tim V
    Isn't that the replacement bridge from 1960? Somewhere is a picture of the original bridge, but I can't remember where! Have you got "Steam Around Bath" Mike Arlett & Ivo Peters ISBN 0948975075. Picture of the turntable on the down side in there.

    I just remembered your query regarding contours in urban areas, have you looked at OSM data? http://www.openstreetmap.org/
  25. Tim V
    Plenty of maps on the oldmaps sitehttp://www.old-maps.co.uk/index.html The picture up the ramp was taken by the Penny Bridge. The water tank is in your mock up. Looks pretty good by the way, recognisably Bath.
