Great Chesterford Junction Part Two

Yep, over manipulation does give a false impression.
All my images are rotated to level as I tend to hold the camera in position which gives some interesting angles!
A crop to get rid of the devide between the backscene and the wall and that is it.
Curved backscenes eliminate corner shaddows.
Camera position makes the world of differance.

 

Rather than post here i've posted an original and crop version of an image on my thread - https://platform1mrc.com/p1mrc/inde...tion-the-build-starts.5204/page-8#post-105485

 

Enjoyed that a lot. Layout looks really good.

 

Another great Gormo production. Layout looks fabulous.

 

Another great effort Gormo and I particularly liked the film crew and of course my favourite three car DMU.

Cheers

very interesting Gormo, something for me to think about as while I run DCC, we do not move about but stay at each station.

 

Gormo I think your layout amazing but didn’t know about the block working. I do now and think it is more amazing than ever. 10/10.

 

Dear Gormo, 1 / Electronic Buzzers are definitely a bad idea, that I had to endure ( in every sense of the word ) at one workplace, and neither the volume, nor the tone, could be adjusted. The sound was harsh, the sound variation ( at least to my hearing ) was marginal, and it had the unwanted side effect of causing you to loose your train of thought, so although you recognised the sound, you could not recall the last thing you said, which is very disconcerting. ( And I was not alone in loathing them. )
2 / The only saving grace was the buzzers ( 5 of them ) were parallel wired with a flashing LED with a delay, which means that the LED light faded out slowly at the end of the ring. I liked the workplace, but absolutely loathed the buzzers, and in this is I was not alone.
3 / It is also notable that electronic buzzers were later replaced with electronic bells whose tone was less harsh, and could be given a greater variation. Electronic bells were also used for Annunciators ( which give one ring to indicate on which line an approaching train is on ), and at one location one of the signalmen amended the Annunciator Bell to an announcement by his young daughter ( eg Up Main ) ! ( The signalman is now retired, the daughter is now an adult, and her young child voice still lives on as the Annunciator ! )
4 / which reminds me, I was going to work one afternoon, and a passenger's mobile phone rang with " Dad, there's somebody on the 'phone for you", being the voice of his young daughter ! Both 3 & 4 being a nice improvement over the usual catalogue of ring tones.
Best wishes and regards to all, Echidna.
