RMweb Gold Scottish Modeller Posted September 11, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 11, 2011 Hi all,  During a recent email discussion about doing something different as a model railroad....  Mention was made of:-  http://www.forerivershipyard.com/frsymip.php  So I had a look!  http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=42.24287026817234~-70.97700320184231&lvl=16&dir=0&sty=c&sp=Point.r16dxf92jqr9_Fore%20River%20Transportation____&eo=0  Plenty of modelling challenges around this location.  Chemical Plant, shipyard, cement, scrap merchant, preserved battleship, amazing bridge, lovely derelict and part derelict buildings, ferry terminal. Rusty old engines, newly painted engines, internal wye junction, urban railroad, rural railroad.  Information:-  http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&sugexp=gsis,i18n%3Dtrue&cp=19&gs_id=2&xhr=t&q=Massachusetts+02184&gs_sm=&gs_upl=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&biw=1360&bih=920&wrapid=tljp131577840007800&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=lw#pq=massachusetts+02184&hl=en&sugexp=gsis%2Ci18n%3Dtrue&cp=25&gs_id=4&xhr=t&q=Fore+River+Transportation&pf=p&sclient=psy&source=hp&pbx=1&oq=Fore+River+Transportation&aq=0&aqi=g2g-v3&aql=&gs_sm=&gs_upl=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=78e5cfdc5d8439d8&biw=1360&bih=920  Photos:-  http://www.google.co.uk/search?pq=massachusetts+02184&hl=en&sugexp=gsis,i18n%3Dtrue&cp=25&gs_id=4&xhr=t&q=fore+river+transportation&gs_sm=&gs_upl=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&biw=1360&bih=920&wrapid=tljp131577868918700&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi  Need I say more?  Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glorious NSE Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Anyone else getting various installations there deliberataly pixellated - including the bridge? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Wintle Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 The bridge is pixellated at some magnifications (presumably there isn't a mid-magnification photo). I zoomed in on the 'battleship' (actually a heavy cruiser - USS Salem CA 139), and then moved over to the bridge and it is clear. Â Adrian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorious NSE Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 So it is, ta! Â Looks like a temporary lifting bridge whilst they build a new one next to it - interesting! Â But I think the pixellation is deliberate rather than due to resolution, check out the oil/chemical terminal to the South on Quincy Road, the pixellation follows the outline of the property, even going around buildings and curves on roads at the edge of it. Bit wierd to let the more detailed stuff stay though if the idea was to censor it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
