Jaz Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) Clay You are right, and worse they are so thin they did not put in the door at the end of the extension either. Such a shame. Both Bachmann and Hornby are best at doing the main elevation ....then everything else goes to pot. Their sizes are strange as well, sometimes a building in the set is too big and another too small. It makes matching the birds eye / Nimbus2000 view very difficult. compromise,compromise, compromise, grrrrr eventually a scratch build but that's a very long way off with so much else to do. Hope you had a great Xmas, and are looking forward to the new year. We plan a quiet evening in, though food and drink may make an appearance Edited December 31, 2013 by Jaz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgraham Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) You know I am amazed and humbled by your & Kal's modelling as well as Mr. and Mrs. Sasquatch's artistry and craftmanship, but have you stumbled across this modeller's work yet? He created a Goathland Station diorama 6 or 7 years ago that inspired me. http://www.scenicmodelrailways.com/page_337517.html Happy New Year!

Kal Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) Hi Clay Yes, fabulous are they not. I think it was one of the first inspirations I had, though I think I came across it while looking at some of his other work. I seem to recall a Scalextric he (or she) had done in someones loft. Anyone else reading here should take a look, really good work. have a Happy New Year Clay Edited December 31, 2013 by Kal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted January 1, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 1, 2014 Jaz, I shouldn't worry too much about Ethel. She's Mutton dressed as lamb! Thanks for posting up all about your very sophisticated control system. For someone still using string to control train movements it made very informative reading! Sasquatch has a million questions Kal but wont bother you as I still have two balls of string left! Happy New Year to you guys from The Sasquatches. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jukebox Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 My rival!!!!! rmweb344newarrivals1 Ethel3 Does her bum look big or what??!!! See, Jaz, there are some of us who happen to prefer our ladies with a measurably more shapely posterior... it's usually only the other women folk who take isssue when the tender has a few yards of extra coal space.
