OK, That works ! Thumbsup

It was just that the model boat appeared to be sitting level, not resting on the keel and the turn of the bilge.
By the way, that is a very interesting boat (AC322217). Any idea about the length of her?

my boat is not especialy at scale . I'm not a boat modeler.

For the boat Ac I can't help you, it's not my photo. This boat is located in south west of france.

:o :oops: I just noticed that the wheels on that "wagon" are "double flanged" :oops:
I need to pay better attention to the pictures! :oops: :oops: 357

"For the boat Ac I can't help you, it's not my photo. This boat is located in south west of france."

That limits me to, modeling to "Best Guess", but that is still an interesting boat. It is added to my " Hope I live long enough to do this " list. Big Grin

I worked hard to finish to paint 1 loco and 31 wagons. I resized also my crab shack that was a bit too small. Sorry for the poor quality of the indoor photos. There is no sun in France at the moment but I soon as It will be sunny I will do outdoor photos.

My rolling stocks are from LGB, Bacmhmann and HLW and are largely modified and/or are entirely scratch build.

Hi Frank, somehow did you manage to show none of the photos but the plain html tags pointing to the photos. Could you have a second look into your posting please.

I see the photos!
Absolut impressive. Your little layout and the photos have a very special atmosphere I did not see and feel at any other layout.

However give the man on car at last the beer into his hand!

Or......better yet, just put that bottle in his hand ! Big Grin

There is a certain uniqueness about the scale, and the subject of your Woolacombe Layout, that makes it a welcome diversion from the usual.
The Fish net, and the marker buoys, are great little details! The different "cars" are amazing ! In the end though, it is the choice of "prototype", and the size of everything in 7/8 scale that is so impressive. Thumbsup

Re: woolacombe layout at 7/8 th scale - franckcombe - 06-20-2013

Good looking stuff !

Re: woolacombe layout at 7/8 th scale - franckcombe - 08-20-2013

During the exhibition, I was very pleased to meet Simon HARRIS. It was a pleasure and an honor for me that he runs his loco and rolling stocks on my layout. He gave me also the excellent idea of the chain shunting, brilliant ! I was also impressed by his battery loco, a system that I ignore all because I'm in DCC.

I had the pleasure to meet also Stephan, Peter and 3 - 4 others 7/8 th scale modellers (I hope the will forgave me to not be able to site them).

I'm already invite for 3 others exhibitions in UK so I hope it will be another occasion to meet others 7/8th scale modellers.

Articles will be written in British railway modelling and in narrow gauge industrial railway modelling review on the Woolacombe Bay so I hope it will contribute a little to the development of this fantastic scale.

Few photos of the layout during the exhibition with loco and rolling stock from Simon Harris

The flat depressed car is a marvellous
