RMweb Gold Edwardian Posted January 14, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 14, 2018 Am I the only one who thinks that CA needs a dress code? Can I suggest it be kept simple: some clothes. There has been a lot of, well, you know, lately. Whereas I confess to being hopelessly sentimental concerning certain female icons - I must have been one of the few school boys of my generation to entertain a mild crush for Dame Celia Johnson - I do my best to preserve the innocence of Castle Aching!

RMweb Gold Regularity Posted January 14, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 14, 2018 I'm not that fussed, but maybe we should consider that there are at least two ladies following this thread... I don’t think anyone would mind if the at least two ladies were to object to the pictures and I am sure we would self-moderate if they did, but I imagine they are laughing at us as much as with us. Besides, I prefer the pictures of JA dressed up in Edwardian style clothing. (I refer to the dress of the period, rather than whatever happens on a Friday night in Castle Aching...) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, appreciate it while you can. From what I heard from a feminist art critic a week or two ago on R4, I don't think the "fine art" defence is going to be available for much longer!

robmcg Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Photos of Edwardian locomotives have a similar look to the so-called art photos of the day, I love the fixed smiles of enginemen, the long exposures onto glass silver bromide plates, ferns or no ferns. I think the current predisposition towards 'selfies' is a perfectly natural progression, alas downwards into the slough of despond. A mishappenstance of history, if you will. (I just wanted to use that word, actually) Whether of the female form or the Forth Bridge under construction, the modern way is to have bright colours and an obligation to always be frantic and busy, none of which comes naturally to me. Even the model railway press and such as the Hornby Catalogue represent a rather odd view of smoke and steam on what are clearly toy railways, and attempts to marry reality to modelling are frowned-on, in my limited experience. But then, I don't network in the right places, or engage in conversation in this particular space.... 2nd cuppa is due.... <g> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

robmcg Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Example, loosely related to Edwardian Midland Compound 4-4-0s. Neither real, nor a model. No place for it here. There are some who make a living making models, or used to.... I had better continue making pictures, someday my ship will come in. Cheers 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst the Suffragette movement is generally seen as a Good Thing, it's interesting to note her later career as leader of the women's section of the British Union of Fascists. I tend to object to violence, whatever the cause and whether or not it came down on the right side of history in the end. The Suffragists, rather than the Suffragettes, were probably more effective than their violently more spectacular sisters. By the time the Suffragettes were planting nail-bombs, they were probably starting to be more than a little counter-productive. Fortunately, from that point of view, the Great War put paid to these antics and facilitated progress. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Compound2632 Posted January 14, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 14, 2018 Well, in the Edwardian heyday of the Compounds, the St Pancras - Edinburgh Scotch Express didn't need double-heading. But I note that here the old North British custom is being followed, of putting the lesser engine 'inside'. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

runs as required Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) To my eye, the orange marmalade lady above doesn't look anatomically plausible - even allowing for artistic foreshortening.. Assuming she's genuinely pre-Raph, I'd say there's some proto-Picasso re-arrangement going on in the composition.. dh Edit - as for On Topic art, That Compound might be more at home piloting the 'Thames Clyde' up G&SW Nithsdale rather than the NB 'Waverley' Edited January 14, 2018 by runs as required Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Edwardian Posted January 15, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 15, 2018 Clearly, it's a phase you're all going through, but before this topic entirely resembles the walls of a teenager's bedroom, I think I'd better post something that is certain to set the pulse deadening. All the time I had available on Saturday, which was quite a lot of time, was taken up fiddling with the bull head trap points, so I have only been able to make a modest start on the flat bed portion. Again, I foresee the need to adjust the crossing, but, so far, this new mode of point construction does not appear to be any more horrible than the chaired construction of the bull head sections. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Regularity Posted January 15, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) Nice. Be careful to avoid short circuits in the blue circled area. The rail needs cutting back to the red line, and you need to add another insulation gap (marked by President Trump’s hair). Looking at that, you need to make sure that the copper surfaces of the interlaced sleepers aren’t touching each other, too. No wonder the prototype stopped using interlaced sleepers - too many short circuits! One request... before you paint it, but after you test it, please fill the insulation gaps in the pcb!
