Locomotives (steam outline) / Re: Photographing Locos
Last post by 753 - Apr 08 2026 09:54Tim
There are two elements, a foreground diorama and a photographic background. Then shot in my conservatory which has very diffuse light giving an exterior felling.

For Sale / Short Bridge Span
Last post by Peaky 556 - Apr 06 2026 16:01This is a short length of fabricated brass span that could possibly link two parts of an embankment across a feature such as a road or river, or carrying pointwork across a gap just before a station perhaps. It looks very detailed and workmanlike, and I acquired it some years ago hoping to use it somewhere on my railway, but alas, nowhere has come up in need.
The span tapers as shown in the pics, and all principal dimensions can be seen on the pictures. Other than for the perforated steel deck, there is probably 10-15kg of brass in this, but I'd only ask the scrap value if someone can genuinely put it to use. I guess that would be around £50.
Located in Derbyshire but I could transport to the AGM in May if that helps anyone.
More photos in subsequent posts.

Bridges and Tunnels / Re: Arch Bridge Like Arley
Last post by Peaky 556 - Apr 06 2026 15:17Robert, one has to be very civil to the planning authority when progressing a railway. After all, one knows one's place!

Congratulations!
When you told me recently that you will be developing your garden railway, you never told me that it would entail Civil Engineering.
How did you manage to get the planning application approved by the relevant authorities?
