Station view
Firstly your modelling is just great and my question is not trying to pick any fault.
But this photograph reminded me of a question I have been meaning to ask for years but keep forgetting to do so. Why are the loading gauges shaped like an inverted W. I can understand the purpose of the central U but the only purpose for the other two Us to the side to my mind is for oversize loads that stick out the side. However I'm not convinced.
Please put me out of my misery.
This is a really great layout and concept. Looks like I can find a use for my Hornby GWR 4 wheel coaches. I especially like the figures. IMO most figures on most layouts look like Soviet workmen and women (the feet and hands look like Herman Munster's). The heads look like they are about one quarter of the body size. They look all disproportionate.
I think you said they are OO white metal. Where did you get them?
I had the opposite happen.
I bought a fountain pen and immediately (I mean 10 seconds) after the sale the seller said he had sent it in the mail.
My suspicions were aroused and when it didn't come in a week or so. I put a claim into Paypal. They paid with no questions asked.
Anyway eight weeks later the pen arrived by sea mail. I honestly tried to give the money back but Paypal and the seller didn't want to know me. I tried for about two weeks and eventually gave up and figgured it made up for the book I had been dudded out of a couple of years earlier.
I also will be keeping an eye on your project as I intend to incorporate a clay siding in my layout.
You have done a good job with the tunnel entrance.
Well done.
I would be more worried that s/he (the one that withdrew the bid) has withdrawn his/her bid five times in the last six months. I have bought on ebay for about the last 10 years and have never had to withdraw a bid.
