The hinges aren’t too expensive...as for the entire diorama...that’s a different story

Okay so today I got my order from Campbell Models (the hinges) and when I opened the package it was roofing material. I was so mad. I thought they made a mistake but they didn’t. I ordered the wrong thing. So I made another order and the wait game continues.Comment

HI Christopher yea i just done the same thing on my tiger's penant NO.s went an ordered to large a NO.s only to find they are too big so that a waste of nr 14 quid unless i can sell them to someone else at half price to try an get a bit back as i should have checked my plans but well but i have the correct size comin now oh we live an learn dont we an yes i bet you was mad at the mistake but easy done
but they will soon come an when you get the hinges could you please show a pic of them as at that scale as they would be just right for the hinges on my tigers doors as i have been useing dolls house hinges on my tiger W/T DOORS an they are a bit big but they do the job but if i can fit them an how much they cost an where to get them from if you would not mind ? but your build is comin on the more i look at your pics the more to me it looks like where i used to work its amazein really

Just caught up on this. Great work Christopher. Your are adding atmosphere in spades here. The overhead crane idea sounds fascinating as well. These were only ever found at major works in the UK. perhaps you could add a traverser?
It’s interesting to me because roundhouses are a rare thing on British outline railways. There were only ever a handful in use. I think the main reasons were ground required, which was always at a premium in UK, with the railways being built after the cities, and efficiency of operation. The turntable being slower to use and tying up the whole shed while it turned.Comment

Yep, overhead cranes were relatively common. The last one I saw was about ten years ago when I went to a centrifuge manufacturers in Halifax...Comment

Looks good Christopher, loads of scope in that subject...Comment

I thought modeling was suppose to be relaxing too but is it....let’s see...parts missing, the carpet that swallows fallen parts, the wrong part finally arrives, the long wait from the post office, not having the right tool, poor lighting, the special expensive glue that doesn’t hold like it said it would, the delicate part that disintegrates the minute you cut it from the sprue, the only paint you need and it’s dried up, not having enough paint and so on...LOLComment

That ain’t modelling Christopher, that’s just real life LOLComment
