RMweb Gold Donw Posted February 3, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 3, 2014 You need a day at Pendon my friend, LOVELY, :locomotive: :locomotive: :locomotive: Bodge In 1962 I discovered the Railway Modeller one issue had a picture of Pendon. I cycled out (too young to drive) to Pendon. In those days it was a black hut containing the viaduct scene a Roy would chat to the few visitors and bring out some of his buildings absolute magic.

RMweb Premium Jason T Posted February 3, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 3, 2014 One of the advantages of living in Oxford was that Pendon was so close by, something I took advantage of by visiting quite regularly; Sofia loved it (she was blown away by the Vale scene on our first visit). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted February 3, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 3, 2014 I lived in Abingdon from 1979 to 1981. At the time I had little interest in model railways and no idea that Pendon even existed..... Just down the road! Looking back I think of all the missed opportunities.

RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted February 3, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 3, 2014 I've just been scanning through a load of photos of the actual Kirkby Stephen West layout, built by Ian Macdonald. Came across the photo below, which gives a feeling of what the appearance of the KL2 underbridge may look like. Thanks Ian. Jeff 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted February 3, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 3, 2014 That's really beautiful It's a very effective feature, isn't it? And I've driven under the real thing hundreds of times to know it's a good representation (the road surface is a bit rougher!) Ian's layout is an absolute gem. I've his entire research collection - photos, books, exhibition pics etc. I'm authorised to use them as I see fit - so I occasionally drop one of Ian's pics in, where appropriate!

freebs Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I've been trying to work out how I can easily lift my entire track level up to incorporate an under bridge - such a lovely feature. But alas I can't think of an easy way without starting all over again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But alas I can't think of an easy way without starting all over again I'm guessing your baseboard has a solid top, Lee? Or there are underboard wires in the way? I've always been a fan of scenic level variations, though this will be my first underbridge. Jeff EDIT: Take some pics, post them on here and let's have a look.....

freebs Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I have some pics at the beginning page of my layout thread: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/75832-farnley-burton-track-musings/ but here are some of the pics: It's changed a little since then, but it's essentially similar (flat solid baseboard) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Hi Jeff, a few of pics from KSW at the Mansfield show last year. Some I may have posted before in which case I apologize profusely Young Sir. Everything else I have is on Video so I may try to put a short compilation together for here.

RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted February 3, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 3, 2014 No problem, Andy. It's always good to see photos of KSW. Looking along the line, I'd recognise that track arrangement anywhere! Any vids you can dig out - stick them on here! Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted February 3, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 3, 2014 Lee, depending on your trackplan and your joinery skills, it wouldn't be difficult to fit an underbridge in. But you'd need a suitable place to put it, and it looks like it'd have to go on the side opposite the station because of your sidings. I've scanned through your thread - great work on the buildings (I don't think they look too dark!!) - it's not clear where you might put the bridge. And you'd have to "open" up your board in the vicinity, which may be more trouble than you're prepared to put up with! Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Hi Jeff, I have just found the Video that I posted on here before but its got CONTAMINATED, and so if you can find it through your index it would have been just after March 2013. I am sure I posted it in here or the Lounge. If you can't find it I will do a new one from the bits I have. Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted February 3, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) Andy, it took a bit of finding, but relevant posts to KSW that you posted in March last year are: KL #4726 (page 190) , Lounge #663 video #666 (page 27) Jeff Edited February 3, 2014 by Physicsman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Cheers Jeff, I don't know why I just didn't look in my You Tube Manager, it was easy, so here it is in all its glory. Andy :sungum: :sungum: :sungum: 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Not for me Jeff, never did like them much but I love them in comparison to the dreaded Fell 4-2-2-2-4 or 4-8-4 or whatever it was, I definitely would have made microwave ovens out of that monstrosity!
