I'd agree, it looks too big. Some kind of grab might look better? This page has one about 2/3 of the way down. Most of the other photos i can find show coal being unloaded by hand... 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did think about a grab but the crane isn’t rigged correctly, a mechanical grab needs two chains….I only know this because my first proper draughting job was drawing grabs and crane jib’s on the drawing board Before CNC so all parts had to be hand drawn full size with a thick line for a oxyacetylene profile cutter anyway I have a plan B,C & D with the help of @MrWolf who has kindly pointed me in the direction of some suitable images Edited September 2, 2022 by chuffinghell 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 That's far more positive than simply not ar*ed. Rome wasn't modelled in a day. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would'nt be the same person then who keeps finding other items to include on his to do list of models he'd like to do would it by any chance would it? Just in passing have you finished the level crossing? Asking for a friend. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully you're sitting down. The gates were installed on the layout about 10pm tonight. Still a lot to do. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted October 2, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 2, 2022 As before the joints were all too obvious so I have carefully filled the gaps and cleaned up as best as o could with a cocktail stick not perfect but less noticeable 15 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted October 2, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 2, 2022 Hi Chris, I had missed your post about your disaster. It was while I was away on holiday. I was only thinking today that you had not posted much for a while? Glad to see you are making progress again. Cheers, Ade. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even realise there was a join looking at the last photo. It was only on further upward scrolling that all was revealed. You should have just kept quiet and said it was all one big piece. Would have fooled me. 😀 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 57xx Posted October 4, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 4, 2022 (edited) When I saw your first pic, I was wondering just how big your bloody printer was! The joints are only "obvious" because you know they're there. You've done a cracking job in disguising them.

RMweb Gold Popular Post chuffinghell Posted October 6, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2022 (edited) I’ve only gone and spilt black paint all over it….. ……on purpose and then wiped it off the surface It’s a bit patchy but then nothing in the real world is uniform I suppose Edited October 6, 2022 by chuffinghell 23 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Real world, most patchy. Also, the setts around here have had the joints sealed with pitch, a very long time ago, presumably to keep them in place and discourage weeds, although it has broken up quite a bit now. 7 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh dear Rob you need to get the pressure jetter on that my lad and one of those wire brush scrapers on a broom handle. Aldi do them. Mind you looking at how big that area is you might need a couple of them.😆 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 That's across the street from our place. Not my cobblestones, not my moss. As in the old German saying "Not my circus, not my monkeys". If it was mine, the weeds would be gone because there'd be an enormous corrugated iron roof over it, creating a superior Shed of Doom. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
