Kid is short for Kidderminster, where we exhibited the large layout (16ft x
12ft) earlier this month. Dby is short for Derby, where we were in April 2003.
I hope my cutting out of the salient bits of photos has kept the download time
reasonable. The full pictures on the CD are 1536x1024, which is a bit big for
those who don't have broadband. I particularly like the pic of BoCo, since it
fills the picture, it's green and you can almost see the SNOT on the front end.
The duck-egg blue stripes on the sides are made from the plates from 2 HP Privet
Drive sets.
In the pic that Huw took of the small layout, the Pendolino (Richard Branson's
new toy) is tilting, using bevel gears. Perhaps someone would like to make an
Acela train with a similar feature? I might have a go when I get more into
American trains. I have just a couple of doodles ATM.
We'll have the small layout (8ft x 6ft) with static display of the larger
engines (though the Peak and 66 might run) at the Brickish Association AGM on
17th April at Dilhorne, near Stoke-on Trent, UK.

| (...) Bevel gears? WAY overengineered. Someone did a tilting metroliner that uses no gears at all, just slanted truck mounts. VERY clever. This was at least 3 years ago IIRC... I am 80% sure (but not 100%) it was either E. Brok or J. Mathis. (20 years ago, 30-Mar-04, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.uk)
