7mm Pencarrow - Cornish BR(S)

[Osgood]

While you wait for a reply from PC, FWIW I obtained a DeWalt DW088CG laser level - a green light horizontal / vertical type, mainly for outside work (drainage, ditches, et al).
Nice unit, plenty of mounting options (magnetic etc) - stuff inside is gimbal-mounted so can just plonk the case down on a reasonably flat surface.

Red light laser levels can be a fair bit cheaper and fine for internal work, but for outside use green is much easier to see outside, and over much greater distances (check out red v. green laser levels online).
I was hoping for a longer visible range but you find workarounds - even so you might find yourself setting out at dawn or dusk!
This unit emits a horizontal datum line 55mm off the base.

Hi,
Many thanks for your posting, DeWalt DW088CG laser level added to my shopping cart. I always buy DeWalt products when I am able. Thank you also for the green verse red advice.

It's reassuring, in this age of computers and CAD, to see someone else still resorting to paper and pencil to plan before launching into construction. I have extensive files of sketches for all my more recent locos.
Love the bridge developments.

I thought you’d gone all poetic, then realised it was probably a typo…

Thanks Dave, I spend many hours at work using a computer and being at the constant mercy of demanding emails, messages and Teams calls. Unless absolutely necessary, I can't bring myself to spend more hours doing hobby stuff on the computer. So, where possible, I revert to old school fag packet sketches. And yes, I have a whole pile of them in my Pencarrow folder. Quite nice to flick through from time to time.

I and O keys are next to each other, so fat finger syndrome, plain incompetence or dyslexia - take you pick. Definitely not poetic, but corrected anyway.
