Sweper Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Haha, nice FT No probs with the guys, just put a smoke grenade inside Or light up a joint and close the windows Arthur, I didn't mean the guys or that particular car. It is more kind of smoking habits Quote

DD_Arthur Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 Hey, Arjen; since spring is here, have you had any urges - of the bridge building kind that is ? I think I may have a subject. Quote
T_O_A_D Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 I actually owned one of these in this exact color. I also owned a wagon version as my first car it was blue. Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted March 5, 2016 Author 1. DDz Quorum Posted March 5, 2016 Meldon Viaduct is nice, but the issue would be the landscape! It'd just be weird to create the bridge, balancing on its center pillar! And creating the landscape would be way too much work, sorry! I actually owned one of these in this exact color. I also owned a wagon version as my first car it was blue. post-947-0-54892700-1429453652.jpg Ah, cool! The one in the movie ís actually a wagon, but I couldn't find one in the correct scale... Quote
DD_Arthur Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Ah! FT, thats a very good point that I have completely overlooked, doh! Went there a couple of weeks ago on our way back from Cornwall. I know Okehampton a bit - it's an inoffensive little market town on the northern edge of Dartmoor - but I'd never visited the station, only seen the viaduct in the distance. Meldon quarry provided around 90% of all the ballast that britains railways were laid on and despite the line being closed to passenger traffic years ago tjhe quarry carried on which meant it was spared much of the official vandalism our railway system has been subjected to for the last fifty years. Stinking diesels don't usually float my boat but..... "Aha! An engine for FT!" So we had to go on an explore up the cycle path. The bridge is about two hundred metres beyond this point and is rather lovely! 1 Quote
DD_Arthur Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Also found this on Youtube; a visit to the bridge by some very naughty boys and girls early one spring morning. As an ex-head banger I'd like to say "good on 'yer". As a middle-aged parent I want to scream "Nooooooooooo!!!!!!!!" Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted March 7, 2016 Author 1. DDz Quorum Posted March 7, 2016 It is a great bridge, nice construction, all that metal! A train named after the Stringbag? w00t! (It could/would carry anything too?) Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted May 6, 2016 Author 1. DDz Quorum Posted May 6, 2016 Okay, new stuff on the bridge: Facebook link Video! Pictures: Quote
1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted May 7, 2016 1. DDz Quorum Posted May 7, 2016 I like the "land of the Giants" bicycle in the background to give it scale ; ) Do you live in the Netherlands by any chance Arjen ? 1 Quote
