I always feel that 009 is something of a compromise and is one of the things that has stopped me from going any further with it. This is encouraging. The sleepers do look a little short, but perhaps the particular prototype you have chosen is like that. On the line near to me, the Rhiwbach tramway, rails were spiked onto a mixture of sleepers and with a great variety of spikes. I've some quite small ones in my collection, and there is a whopper of a spike still in place on one part of the line. I must say that I think the colouring is spot-on.Iain Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633733907566547236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079411123321019478.post-61593115371851395522015-07-20T10:28:29.156+01:002015-07-20T10:28:29.156+01:00I measured the sleepers from photographs so I thin...I measured the sleepers from photographs so I think they are long enough although I agree they look a little short. I think one reason they look so short is that the spikes are a little large so they hide some of the sleeper outside the rail. I might make them a little longer on the actual model.<br /><br />For now I've no plans to do more than this static diorama in 8mm gauge, although I guess I'd never say never!<br /><br /><i>Mark steps away from the computer and wonders off to look at how hard it would be to resize the chassis for the Hudson-Hunslet to run on 8mm gauge track</i>Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02418527698793489162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079411123321019478.post-34707066406972298142015-07-20T10:20:41.488+01:002015-07-20T10:20:41.488+01:00Looks good, although the sleepers seem a little sh...Looks good, although the sleepers seem a little short (or is that just me?).<br />Are you now going to be joining the narrow gauge finescale fringe and adapting 2FS standards to 8mm gauge?Paul B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05278773151546187084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079411123321019478.post-13078413139930613152015-07-20T05:04:47.718+01:002015-07-20T05:04:47.718+01:00This is as near perfect as I have seen.This is as near perfect as I have seen.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.com
