Mail from Andy H. ...................  Dover  Priory Tomorrow............ :O

 

Orient Express due Buckland Junction 14.47, DP 14.52 (though may well follow 14.45 Javelin out).

Think this is the diner that normally runs North Kent back to London ( our way due to engineering work at Ramsgate) but it is booked to wait at Folkestone West for 20 mins. Might be just for patching purposes.

At that size   ........................ 

 

I wonder at the scale size, of the spider,which started a web site

 

 

..........   it is probably "Streamline FO" scale   :O  :O       ...................       It doesn't seem to be restrained by the Loading Gauge, so may be a little over scale   .......  

 

....           Perhaps the Loading Gauge is only for the Standard 8 type    ...................  or it may be so large as to cause doubts about which Dep't should be sent to tell the beast that it has exceeded span for the Layout  .......    :O  :no:

 

.....................................................      could wonder what it eats    .........................             Oh my!    ..............................        is it possible it has developed a taste for the contents of Tankers captured at the Gauge  .........

 

...   It may also be possible that it was in a hurry for a meal and built the Web "On the Fly"   ...........               :angel:

Both platforms will be out on the "Occasional Dining Table", for about two week's.............(or less.. :O ) if you are both coming down to Chatam show.......

 

 

Really liking your work, David. Plenty of inspiration to be gained from it. Will you be using James Makin's 'cut and shut' method to scratchbuild the class 375s?

 

Thanks

 

Jonathan

Mornig........................

 

Well, the Demu Show,seemed to have been a big hit over the w/end,make note to attend next year.

 

Most of my recent pic's are really not good image's, for I have fallen into bad habit, of snapshot taking and

not set up the tripod and timer.

here are a couple more, snapshot pic's, not using the camera shake setting. it all does make a big difference to what you display.

 

 

Here, first sign trial, brass hanger's to shorten, the signboard is mounted on balsa,........ will go back to mounting them on card 

 

Must use my table magnifier, even though I wear Specsaver glasses, I cannot see to cut straight.

 

One benifit is, Allan of Sankey Scenics,does give you,a number of duplicate's, "for accident's".

 

This one is more like a car crashe'

The LED lighting works really well, very effective and in keeping with the prototype.

 

The second shot in particular is most believable.

 

It's really coming on a treat.
