beautiful.....how many sets do you have, ive got about 7 ss and 3 sm
Dunno exactly. Probably a similar number but rr and no sm, although I've collated thousands of other pieces over the ... 10 years I've been building these things.
Are you gonna get that wobbly banking that zadra has coming off of the treble cleff ?
It's got it, but I've added a smidge more outward banking.
oh btw, what happen to whickerman? seems like it was almost complete on that last update? anyway gl on the new build and hope you find time to carry on
Ah, yeah. That was frustrating. I'd left it to go back to uni operating nicely with only the break run and station to go, but when I came back it just didn't make the layout, and it wasn't even close. I cleaned the trains etc but it wasn't to be. I left it standing for over a year and eventually took it all apart.
Thanks!
Very ambitious, but it's looking really good so far. Good luck!
Cheers! I think it may have been a bit too ambitious...
WOW. That is an incredible looking element. The transition from gray to flexies is nice as well. I think the shaping is great. I guess you can always count on RMC having some great opportunities for intriguing little flair to their elements. Makes for a great build. Hope you are having fun with this!
Thanks for the feedback on that element, I wasn't quite sure myself.
Some more pictures, and some feedback needed before I continue the layout.
How does the weird stall look? Shaping is by no means final.
Zadra's stall is quite strange as it hangs vertical for a long time, and longer on the way up than the way down. I've tried to make it similar but it goes against my instincts for symmetry. And what do you make of the heartlining?
Moreover, I think Zadra's layout might be a stretch in terms of both pieces and speed (without the ball bearings trains, and I don't have access to a 3D printer). So I'm changing it slightly, from the stall it will turn rapidly back towards the drop and from there hopefully the layout will remain the same. I'm essentially just cutting a corner, just quite a big one.
