    Weekend photofun 25 26 27 July 2008

    I did not know that such LEDs existed, so small. Are these commonly found and are they 12 Volts or they are less and connected to a decoder?

    Steve, can U send us some of the excess water you have there? because the only water we see here is our sweat. these last two weeks I've been almost dehydrating, when I'm out for work, I end up drinking 1 litre of water and sweat 3 ltrs :( . Temp is like 35C in the shade, with a humidity of over...

    Curves on a Bridge revisited

    Jos, yours is a good idea, but I forgot to tell you that from under the wooden bridge turning down heading under the girder, there is a river, so I cannot block its path. I will try to post a picture on how it should look like. Sorry I'm not a painter :)

    Curves on a Bridge revisited

    hehe, nice try Miles :) I've been working on and off on this layout for the last 6 years, with only this result, if I start allover again, my grand children will probably see it ready. Actually i started this scenery to make a mountainous area, in the era of the 50's - 70's.

    Curves on a Bridge revisited

    The bridge that I need has to be clear from below, since another train has to pass and there is very little clearance as you can see from the photos I posted.

    Jim, I know what U mean, we are still practicing tactics and movements, we still have not established teams, and there are still new commers amongst us, but so far we never had friendly fires :)

    Curves on a Bridge revisited

    The Viaduct and the Trestle are not my problem, the Problem is mostly for the grider. The right end of the Girder will be pointing into a hill / mountain tunnel, which right now is not indicated, but were the crew cabin of the SD40-2 in the 2nd picture is, will be a tunnel. So now I ask you, is...

    Curves on a Bridge revisited

    So you mean that I have to rip that bridge apart again and make a straight one, but wide enough to hold that curve and my long SD40-2 ? that will be a really wide bridge to make :S The lower curve in the picture can give you a slight idea of teh curve I have to tackle for that bridge.

    Curves on a Bridge revisited

    I think I might have asked such questioh, cause I have many bridges on curves. I would like to add this too, are bridges like the above found curved, or they are only widened to accomodate a curve? I bought two sets of bridge plates to make such bridge, and I curved them to take the shape of...

    That's the cool thing doing it on computer, you can set the weather on what U like to, and take off the clouds so that the spectators will always havea full view of teh manouvres. :) BTW, we always fly in cockpit view, not external views like the screenshots show.

    All I can say is WOW

    I agree with both of the above posts, especially if the bridge would end up on the back of a layout, where the details will not be noticed.
