Sasquatch

There's a thread all about it.http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/68485-wills-new-point-rodding/ The Station Master goes into great detail!!

Here is the first repaint. The abbey section which covers the tunnel And the tunnel made from insulation sheet, don`t ask how.

Lee, wills have just released two kits!

The mill project is here http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/73044-west-riding-textile-mill/ I have enjoyed reading your blog Iain very nice work indeed.

My son is coming for the summer and I have plans to give Goathland a detail upgrade as a project with him. This will inlcude repaniting of structures, new (working) signals,detail additions such as cable trunking & piont rodding, some scenic detailing and back scene. I also want to install 2 more points off scene and my uncoupling system. Then as my son is cool with vids n tube etc we hope to bring you some short films.

Have fun Allan! One of RMwebs members lives in the station building, the imfamous Boris! Check him out I'll bet he gives you VIP access etc.

Yes Jaz this is the best thread on here. Don't you just love RMweb? The way it brings modelers together and from all corners of the world. Sharing ideas and giving mere mortals the chance to show off our efforts. I only wish I had more time for it and more than 6 fingers to type with (about 1 sentence a minute). It was a good day when Allan joined and to think he almost shied away, here is Allan’s 4th post from his first thread: Posted 10 March 2013 - 03:58 I'm sorry but I can't upload any pics from my files as I'm electronically informed that they are to big to upload yet they're not to big to upload anywhere else! I'm finding this forum increasingly frusterating and extremely difficult to use and if it wasn't for the kind efforts of Andy, this topic wouldn't even exist. So this will be my last post as I really have had enough of all this messing about trying to do something that on other Forums is so very straight foreward and simple. Allan Downes. Sure glad you got the hang of it Allan and started this thread with Iain. Shaun.

You could always hold the loco in a vice and connect up the motor and spray while in motion. Have you every tried thinners and weathering powders, the streaking effects are quite realistic. Am building a full West Riding textile mill complex having got my technique down quite well. Will blog on its progress soon, now that my work load has eased off.

Ding Ding. Round two. Queensbury rules, try to keep it above the belt gentlemen. Good to see you both back and in top form!

I am very intrigued to see someone attempting anything Brightoian, as my great, great grandfather was a signal man at Brighton for most of his life. I found 6mm ply is too thin for a baseboard top unless you aim to cross brace every 4 inches or so. Base boards can be made to fit together by tacking on one extra end frame to one end and setting the other back, kind of male and female. It's easy to do, makes for simple assembly of layouts at exhibitions and does away with the need for alignment fixings. Regards Shaun. .

So far both layouts are as close as I could get them to fit the layout location. Having said that both Dunster and Goathland had to be compressed and most scenics outside railway property are of my own creativity. If you want to model a real location first decide at which points to start and end, this usually takes in the track plan. If there isn't the space available the next decision is train length. This governs where compression comes into play ie: a reduction in platform length etc. I used google earth! I modeled the incline through Goathland which meant I had to model a decent from the otherside of the road over bridge so decided on a fictitious viaduct.The platforms on this layout are at least a coach too short but you really can't tell. Page two below! One chap at an exhibition stood watching Dunster for about 3/4 of an hour at which point he told me that he'd rode a 14 coach train through there once, which sort of put things into perspective! Edit: Forgot it was a pool. Check all boxes!

Oooooow, a C. Nice one Bluebottle! Cradoc. Powys has a splendid golf course! Edited: because I wasted my go!

Happy Camp, california : Too many sightings of you know who! The feds closed the whole place down last year and covered it all up afterwards. It dosen't get any more interesting than that!

Ashland Or. Once sported an extensive steam depot on the Central Oregon and Pacific Railroad to provide banking power for the climb up to the Siskiyou summit (4300') south into California. Mt. Ashland 7,532 ft (2,296 m) boasts winter sports. Spot the Sasquatch? Taken from Songer butte summit in the middle of Emigrant lake looking toward Ashland with Grizzley Peak on the right. Mt. Ashland Or. & Mt. Shasta Ca. 56 miles apart!!! A bit like getting Brightons palice pier and tower bridge in the same picture!!!!!!!

Hove: Brightons posh neighbor famous for......... Edited for bamboozelment!

Yokohama.

Yaquina bay. Oregon. The other side of that bridge you mentioned Michael. Just a point to note is that most of my recent entrys in this game have ended with the same letter they started with thus no need to delete!!

Hi Dave I'm a big fan of industrial railways set in the North of England and this is terrific! Any more pictures showing recent progress?
