A Nice Little S7 Layout

[Dan Randall]

Dan,

Clutch release bearing is moaning,( gear box out job) and although it's drivable I didn't fancy going too far from home.
Apparently the videoturned out b/w due to a "ton" of digital noise, I don't understand these things but other's of you may.
The layout deserves to be featured somewhere, perhaps MRJ ? when it's finished, as it's obviously still work in progress in small area's.

ATB, Col.

Hi Colin

With an iffy clutch, I think you did the right thing with regard to a long car journey.

I don't understand the technicalities of video either, but it was good to see even if it was b/w, especially for those who couldn't make the show.

I certainly hope it gets published one day soon too.


Regards

Dan

........mind you it would look just as good if it was Fine Scale

No it wouldn't... The track certainly wouldn't look anywhere near as good.

Hi Colin

I believe the signal box and station building are laser cut jobbies - much better than using the embossed Slater's stuff. I'm not sure about the brickwork on the bridge and forgot to ask. I hope this layout makes a few more exhibition appearances, as I'd really like to see it again.

I was surprised not to see you and JB there, but hope you get your car sorted.

Nice bit of video, but a shame it was black & white.

Lovely photos Dan. One or two would look very nice in the Newsletter... (hint)

Thanks Richard - I was pretty pleased with them, but I saw Heather Kavanagh wandering around with a "proper" camera, so it might be better to ask her!

That video went up and down faster then a er....."This video has been has been removed by User".

Excuse me for asking the obvious but does S7 have a separate group from GOG?

Best, Pete.

 

[Dog Star]

Yes, enter <<scaleseven group>> in a search engine and look for something like <<www.scaleseven.org....>>

Do we have a budding convert Pete ?

ATB, Col.

 

[peter trisonic]

Possibly......
Rather something else than total conversion. I have my eyes on the 08 that Dapol claim to be producing.

Best, Pete.

PS Apologies for being a newb idiot! I just read the appropriate Forum..... Afraid I'm a sucker for hitting "What's New?" type button on the 'web...

Thanks Dan. Heather has already supplied me with some lovely shots of Hemyock at least one of which will be in the next Newsletter.

After some scientific research it became evident that nobody actually cares about sub forums etc and just use the Recent messages button so you are not alone

Hi Dan

Can i just ask ?, Is the station building a kit or scratchbuilt ?.

Hi Steve

I'm pretty sure the station building is one of Brian Lewis' (ex. C & L), "Timber Tracks" laser cut jobbies. I think the signal box is laser cut too, but I believe it's from a different manufacturer.

I must admit I prefered the original music, the new sound track reminds me of Tesco's muzak

Lasercrafts kit of Pewsey signal box methinks - it wasn't far from Marlborough!

It certainly looks like the Lasercraft kit. I drove through Pewsey twice yesterday, but the real box is long gone I'm afraid.

Julian,

I remember Wyebridge High street very well, it made such an impression on me due to it's simplicity and high standards - so much so I actually kept the BRM mag (Sep 2003) that it appeared in. I presume that it has moved on to make way for the "new" Wyebridge, which, judging from the photo's is equally superb. I do hope that I will get to see it in the flesh!
